Former FBI Director James Comey and deputy director Andrew McCabe, former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper have lots of things in common. realclearpolitics.com/articles/2019/… via @RealClearNews

One, they ran the nation's key intelligence and investigatory agencies under former President Barack Obama. They were deeply involved in the "Russian collusion" hoax. And they participated in the surveillance of the Trump campaign and transition.

Two, @Comey, McCabe, @JohnBrennan and Clapper have all lied either under oath or in the public sphere.

Three, all four of these former intelligence chiefs detest the president of the United States.

Four, all in their post-Obama administration careers are either paid cable news analysts or frequent guest commentators. Clapper is a CNN security analyst. Brennan was hired by MSNBC for a similar role.

McCabe is a CNN contributor. Comey often makes guest appearances on news programs as a political and intelligence expert.

In sum, we are witnessing a surreal collusion between the nation's former top intelligence officials and the progressive media -- beyond even the nightmares of so-called conspiracy theorists.

The most powerful intelligence chiefs of the Obama administration -- Brennan, Clapper, Comey and McCabe -- have routinely offered the nation their own warped theories about wrongdoing in high places that are as self-serving as they are contradicted by facts.

The conclusions of both the Mueller investigation and the Horowitz report are damning to the past analyses of all four.

In the advocacy culture of our new media, ex-government officials such as Brennan, Clapper and McCabe can be paid to appear on news programs to analyze (or vindicate) their own unethical behavior.

As employees of the media, they sell their checkered government service to exonerate themselves while confirming the anti-Trump biases of their paying hosts.
