If I'm not mistaken but wasn't Cicero eventually beheaded?

I feel dense.

Cicero was killed.
Cicero said things.
Brennan quotes Cicero.
Therefore Brennan is threatening Trump.

Not sure I see it. Hey, I am no fan of Brennan. But this “threat” thing is not apparent to me.

Brennan is a Muslim.

Of course it’s a threat.

Actually, it sounds like he's referring to himself:

“Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error.”

-- Marcus Tullius Cicero, (106-43 BC)

Ironic

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

MARCUS CISCERO

Sounds to me like a direct response to Sundance quoting Cicero on treason in his Halper article today.

Brennan has been a threat since before he became CIA Director.

I think it means we are so close to learning the truth and he is quaking in his boots. So if he’s a muslim and is found to commit crimes, will HE be beheaded? Never mind, I know that will never happen.

He and James Comey always quoting ancient philosophers. Every parent with a freshman in college experiences this phenomenon.

Brennan is scared. He, Comey, McCabe, and Lynch are facing indictment and arrest. Sessions wants to prove he is not a useless wimp. BTW Brennan quoting Cicero is telling. Admired Cicero but he was killed after his plot against Caesar ultimately failed.

"Actually, it sounds like he's referring to himself"

I think the first half was referring to himself, the second half to Trump. In other words, "I made an innocent human mistake, but Trump is much worse because his ongoing behavior cannot be explained away as mistakes, but as deliberate evil."

So I didn't see it so much as a threat to Trump, but as an excuse for himself, perhaps in anticipation of the upcoming IG report. And, of course, the specific nature of Trump's "mistakes" is left unspoken, as if it is supposed to be self-evident.

Brennan tweeted: “Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error.”

Words you should heed John.

Your days of megalomaniacal killing at will are over.

Brennan knows Q has him dead to rights. Sounds like a surrender and appeal for a deal. Q has already said, “No deals.”, but a guy can try. 🤡s in 🇺🇸are going down 😎

Maybe they both have a copy of "Philosophy for Dummies."
