Things are getting a bit too hot for him and he is lashing out. From his Twitter feed:
.@realDonaldTrump’s propaganda & disinformation machine, which operates according to a despot’s playbook, is the most aggressive & odious in history. It far surpasses even Russia’s ability to trample the truth, harm U.S. security, & undermine America’s reputation worldwide.
— John O. Brennan (@JohnBrennan) May 14, 2020
Brennan's entire Twitter feed is just one big pathetic rant. Brennan was head of Obama's Central Intelligence Agency and oversaw operation Crossfire Hurricane and the spying on Candidate Trump. His was an agency whose standard operating procedure was dirty tricks and zero respect for the law. For him to claim that everyone associated with President Trump was doing this is simply a case of projection. He knows he screwed up. He knows he is going down but this is the only way he can try to defend his self-image.
From InfoGalactic:
Psychological projection
Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against their own unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others. For example, a person who is habitually rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude.
A textbook example.
