John Brennan, former CIA director, had a meltdown when confronted about his role in the infamous Hunter Biden computer hoax. This was after several retired intelligence officers signed a bogus note claiming that the laptop bore hallmarks of a Russian disinformation operation.
Brennan, who was a guest speaker at the Intelligence and National Security Summit at George Mason University that day, is believed to have been involved in the incident.
Thomas Speciale is a former advisor and national security expert to Tulsi Gabrield. He asked Brennan, who was one of the 51 signatories of this thoroughly discredited document. Speciale, a national security consultant and former senior advisor to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard asked Brennan why he was one of 51 signatories to the thoroughly debunked document.
Brennan, who was furious at this point, then slapped Speciale in the face and pointed to Speciale’s chest. “We did not say it was misinformation. “We never said that it was disinformation. “There’s a huge difference,” said the former CIA Director.
