Andrea Mitchell: Trump’s Cancellation of Brennan Clearance Could be “Obstruction of Justice”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/16/2018 4:40:37 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Can doing something you have the legal right to do nevertheless constitute a crime? Yes . . . according to Andrea Mitchell.

On today’s Morning Joe, just moments after acknowledging that President Trump “has the legal right” to have canceled John Brennan’s security clearance, Mitchell continued:

“Arguably, some people will say, and I’m not a lawyer, but I’m certain that Mueller is looking into this, that this could be another issue of potential obstruction of justice. Whether it is of criminal import or not, it certainly is a question.”

Stunningly bad logic.

The only way restricting Brennan’s access to past, current and future secret info could be seen as problematic would be if he were to leak it to Inspector “Javert” Mueller.

There’s no point to even dissecting this one. It is completely way-the-eff out there.

It’s similar to accusing President Trump of “Felony Breakfast-Eating in the Second Degree.”

Once again, Trump would be denied the right to do what any other president could do.

Wow. Every day something nuttier is said then the day before. These libs must stay up nights twisting logic to new heights in order to create negative spin on every word the president utters.

More likely there is an obstruction of blood flow to Andrea Mitchell’s brain.

Why are these hardcore Left “Journalists” still spewing hate for the last 40 years? Her husband Alan Greenspan was head of the Federal Reserve for nearly 20 years!! These people never know when to retire...

They've already come close on that one.

These people really do not live in the real world.

How is it obstruction of justice to deny privileged information access to someone not in power any more??

What they’re REALLY upset about is that THEIR links to privileged information will be dried up.

A man who has a clearance that goes to every secret hired as a commentator on a Marxist propaganda machine doesn’t need a clearance.

He needs a swift kick in the ***.

“It could be obstruction!!” Yes, Andrea, you dolt, it could be a ham sandwich! BUT... Our entire system of security clearances is based on NEED TO KNOW. With no job, what’s Brennan’s NEED TO KNOW anything? Even those with the highest clearances are still beholden to the NEED TO KNOW each operation they are read on, otherwise even they are not told.

She needs to be in a nursing home. She is bat-s**t crazy.
All of this. The daily pounding on Trump from MSM. The Mulehead
investigation. The legal problems for Flynn and Manifort can be
laid at the feet of Jeff Sessions recusal.
His recusal is the reason for all this mess.
And that is a fact.

I think that Donald Trump knows more about firing people than the entire staff at MSNBC.
