Perhaps Trump is in the habit of busing in people at his events, yet for example, their number is far less than those who attended for former Barack Hussein Obama, where the second one scaled back because of the then economic situation was still larger than that for Trump.

CIA does not put their agents on TV unless they are retired or in very senior roles. This is because other intelligence agencies will be watching. Usually they have actors coming in to play agents when the President is addressing them. That is for the TV Camera. The real Presidential address takes place with real agents during the week in a special hanger location away from the cameras.

The rent-a-crowd gambit did not fool former CIA Director John Brennan, who slammed Trump’s speech as a “despicable display of self-aggrandizement.”

 

So Prashad if what you said is true..doesnt Brennan have known this?

Brennan knows fully well that the only people at the CIA on a Saturday will be a skeleton staff, guards, a few canteen staff and cleaners.  He also knows that they will not put the image of real agents on TV. The crowd had to be a make up crowd. 

Ok let's say you are right..what about Brennan's remarks that the Orangtang is a despicable person..that made up?

Brennan will no longer be  the CIA director. He can say anything.  Trump is a ruthless man but he understands how this world operates. These intelligence people repeated Kurdish propaganda about Saddam to the President of the United States that he had weapons of mass destruction. Do you think for a moment that Saddam would have allowed ISIS to operate in Iraq. He would have chewed them up because they are against everything secular that he stood for.

Some of the people there might have been cafeteria and sanitation employees also. They might have been given free food before trump's arrival. OF COURSE WE NOW HAVE "ALTERNATIVE FACTS" AS ORDERED BY THE PRESIDENT.
