John Brennan wrote tweets that are just outrageous.

And I think his credibility is pretty minimal too.

So I expect there will be

resurgence, but some of the 2016, 2021 people will not because they're tired, old, and damaged goods.

What about Mark?

You have tabs on him?

I do.

He is on Twitter, X, and I follow him every once in a while.

He wrote one slightly partisan thing several months ago, but I haven't seen anything recently.

So the issue from my standpoint, and I think this is a key point, and thinking back to the definition of politicization from the beginning, it's intelligence officers injecting or using intelligence in a partisan way.

So a core problem, and this is what Morrell started, was using his intelligence background to rationalize a partisan political view.

That is, again, historically abnormal from a normative standpoint, and it's also dysfunctional.

So if you have people who have partisan views, but keep them to themselves, that's fine.

If they talk publicly, but they talk about things that are not related to partisan politics, that's okay too.

Well, exactly.

So that's why I think he's staying within an area in which he's established a little bit of credibility.

But I think Murrell is wise to not venture again into what he started.

Brennan has stayed very quiet too.

You know, he's just not on Twitter, not on TwitterX anymore.

He was an active participant for a long time.
