Others want to take seriously the possibility that candidate Trump fell victim to those same imperial powers that Brennan encouraged Obama to use.
Brennan's father, Owen, was a blacksmith who immigrated to New Jersey from Ireland in 1948.
Owen's own father, Brennan told me, was "a supporter, an affiliate, say," of the Irish Republican Army.
As a teenager, even as he absorbed his parents' morality and work ethic, Brennan felt torn between the cloistered priesthood and a life of worldly experience, between pleasing his parents and escaping into a world that was larger than New Jersey.
Back in New Jersey, Brennan married his hometown girlfriend.
Brennan, not wanting to carry even the smallest deception on his conscience, said that he voted for Gus Hall, the Communist Party candidate for president, in 1976.At the C.I.A., Brennan quickly distinguished himself as a "Deep select," a young officer given extra visibility and fast promotions.
After a tour in Saudi Arabia, he grew close to George Tenet, who was working at the National Security Council as a liaison between the C.I.A. and the Clinton White House, where Brennan sometimes delivered the president's daily brief.
