John Brennan’s criticism of President Trump may have gone a few tweets too far. That is the opinion of some of his fellow intelligence community peers. What raises their concern is the bad image that Brennan is painting about their community. If Mr. Brennan is so far off the wall that he sounds like he is suffering from the Trump Derangement Syndrome, then that shows he cannot control himself.

Clapper is among the eight former intelligence officials whose clearances are under review by the White House. Each individual has been vocally critical of the president since he took office, prompting speculation that the move is meant to be retaliatory.
