Brennan considers taking Trump to court
WKMG-TV ^ | August 19, 2018 | Caroline Kelly, CNN

Former CIA director John Brennan said Sunday that he was willing to pursue legal action against President Donald Trump after he revoked Brennan's security clearance earlier this week.

"If my clearances and my reputation, as I'm being pulled through the mud now, if that's the price we're going to pay to prevent Donald Trump from doing this against other people, to me it's a small price to pay," Brennan said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "So I am going to do whatever I can personally to try to prevent these abuses in the future, and if it means going to court, I will do that."

Brennan, a harsh critic of Trump, also stood by his comments last month when he called Trump's actions alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin in a news conference after their summit in Helsinki, Finland, "nothing short of treasonous."(continued)

That man is delusional and dangerous. Even Clapper is distancing himself from Brennan. Clapper should be next on the chopping block for clearance. Watch his attitude suddenly change then. Clapper will be cheering Brennan on if he also loses his clearance aka Meal Ticket.

This monster, and he is indeed a monster, is a great poster boy for the democrat progressive party.

The more people see of him, the more they are turned off by the democrats and what they stand for today.

If Brennan been screaming this much just for being fired, imagine how much worse he would have behaved if he’d instead been executed.

Brennan is conducting an aggressive defense. He knows that there is a distinct possibility that he will be arrested for his part in the plot to rig a Presidential election and prevent the duly elected Trump from taking office.

By screaming about his security clearance revocation, he is preparing a defense of “persecution” when arrested saying he is a target because he has the “courage” to criticize Trump. If Trump had a competent Attorney General, Brennan would already be in jail.

Pathetic - as if Brennan has some legal right to a security clearance. What's even more pathetic is that there will be some liberal judge out there willing to countenance this nonsense in court.

Then it’ll just head up the ladder to maybe the supreme court.

These morons do not seem to realize that maintenance of their security as an ex-employee is a selective privilege allowed by the Prez. It is not a right.
