Seems like more cope to me; "junior neocons" and his idea Trump is merely singalling or a negotiating ploy look like an inability to face facts. Berletic's take was much more honest.

Greenwald cut this idea down here, as noted down in the comments:

Anyone who appoints Mike Rogers to run the FBI - after he's arguably been the single most ardent, blind and extremist defender of the US Security State and its surveillance and politicized abuses - should forfeit forever any claim to be interested in combatting those agencies:

I find Larry Johnson the least convincing of the various regular bods on the judge's show although I'm interested in his info on the "Iranian" asset that may or may not have been given a legend by the FBI (although them being the agency in charge of such a thing doesn't make any sense and is very unlikely).
