Former CIA director John Brennan is well-known these days for frequently appearing on cable news where he seems to criticize President Trump in perpetuity.
Last night’s appearance didn’t disappoint.
Per WorldNetDaily:
He claimed in an appearance on MSNBC’s “Hardball” that President Trump “wrote the note released by [Rep. Adam] Schiff earlier this week saying ‘Get Zelensky to announce Biden investigation.'”
However, the note on Ritz Carlton stationary was written by Lev Parnas, Rudy Giuliani’s Ukrainian-American former associate who was recently indicted.
The undated note has few details, no attribution and no signature.
Brennan later corrected his mistake in a Twitter post.
On MSNBC tonight, I mistakenly said Trump wrote note, released by House yesterday, saying “get Zelensky to announce Biden investigation.” It was written by Les Parnas, who told Rachel Maddow today in explosive interview everything he did was known & directed by Giuliani & Trump.

In a previous interview, Brennan said, “people are innocent, you know, until alleged to be involved in some kind of criminal activity.”
That response was also met with widespread ridicule.
With sincere apologies in advance to all US liberals who are offended by criticisms of former CIA chiefs, @JohnBrennan‘s understanding of the presumption of innocence is completely warped, but in the most unsurprising way imaginable: pic.twitter.com/IsE8ulSJMo
