Political, legal and ethics expert, former CIA Director John Brennan declared that "President Trump has the backing of a very debased group of people." His evidence, such as it is, was Trump's public criticism of the dual legal standards being applied to liars.
"For Trump to imply that the same laws should apply to sainted public servants like James Comey and low-lifes like Roger Stone is outrageous," Brennan said. "What people forget is that law enforcers like Comey are explicitly granted the right to lie if, in their opinion, it is necessary to entrap bad actors. The universal consensus of those of us serving President Obama was that Trump is definitely a bad actor. Consequently, anything Comey, McCabe, Strzok, and others chose to do to protect the nation from him was, and still is, permissible."
"Stone, on the other hand, is just a private citizen and has no right to obstruct law enforcement officers by lying to them," Brennan asserted. "He needs to go to prison for as long a term as possible to serve as an example to others who might be tempted to interfere with what we in government are trying to do to impose order on society. Trump's objection to this is further proof of his guilt in the so far successful effort to seize power by defeating the far more deserving and competent Hillary Clinton in 2016."
In related news, Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder castigated investigative reporter Paul Sperry for exposing the possible biases of Molly Gaston, the DOJ attorney who declined to prosecute Andrew McCabe for leaking and lying. "Criticizing government for reaching different decisions about which lawbreakers to prosecute and which to let go as Sperry has done is an abuse of freedom of the press," Holder contended. "In such instances, reporters have the right to remain silent and should exercise this right by shutting the Hell up."

Brennan should remember the adage, “Better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt”.
