John Kiriakou

We're enough now beyond 9-11 that people can begin to retire.

So this huge wave of senior level retirements in 07.

And then once these guys retired, half of them went to the McCain campaign and half of them went to the Hillary Clinton campaign.

And John Brennan was literally the only one who went to the Obama campaign.

And he saved himself.

Well, as soon as Barack Obama became president, John Brennan decided he was going to have my head.

And so he asked Holder to have the FBI grab me.

And I'll tell you what, they knew they didn't have a case.

So there's a little bit of background.

From 2009 to the end of 2011, I was the senior investigator on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee working for John Kerry.

It was a terrible job.

Kerry said, oh, I want you to do this and do that.

And we're going to investigate this, investigate that.

And then he would kill all the investigations because he wanted to be secretary of state and he didn't want to piss anybody at the White House off.

So I can't talk about how Afghanistan produces 93% of the world's heroin and all of it is because the CIA said they could.

I can't talk about the Dasht-e-Laylee massacre where 2000 Taliban soldiers were suffocated to death in container trucks because the CIA didn't punch holes for them to breathe in the containers.

Can't talk about any of that stuff because you wanna be the Secretary of State.

So I left in 2011.

And right before I left,

I got a call from a Japanese diplomat.
