Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    This is a remarkably testy comment from @SenatorBurr, one that isn't necessarily logically sound. https://www.burr.senate.gov/press/releases/statement-from-senate-intel-chairman-richard-burr-on-comments-by-former-cia-director-john-brennan- …pic.twitter.com/8oPcZtN1QQ

        Quite testy. Darn, was hoping for a solid non-partisan report from this Senate committee

        Yeah, as someone staking the rep of his Chairmanship on the non-partisan nature of his committee's investigation, I would make an effort to at least be logically sound if I wanted to be this testy.

        Hey @SenatorBurr, I've listened to each and every public word from @JohnBrennan. He has been as careful as one would expect of the person who led the operation to take down Bin Laden. YOUR Party, on the other hand, are a bunch of #Traitors. #November2018 is coming.

        Brennan was pretty clear that he feels that the public "Russia, if you're listening..." constituted collusion.

        “Burr told The Post he "had conversations" with the White House about stories surrounding Russia and said he thought the discussions were appropriate as long as he believed his comments wouldn't conflict with his "responsibilities to the committee in an ongoing investigation."

        They wear MAGA hats in the burr klan. His boy was wearing a MAGA hat shilling for donnie outside the polling station the day I voted in the 2016 election. This isn’t hard to figure out.

        Burr's statement is not only a poor but inflammatory reading of Brennan's actual words, which do not claim intelligence of collusion. Brennan speaks of the collusion evident in Trump's behavior visible to the whole world.
