Brennan threatens to sue President Trump after being stripped of clearance

NBC security analyst and former CIA director John Brennan is doubling down on a threat to sue President Trump after the outspoken former Obama official was stripped of his security clearance.

Brennan appeared Friday night on MSNBC and told Rachel Maddow he is exploring litigation against the president. This follows Reps. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) and Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) saying Trump stripping Brennan of his security clearance is illegal.

“As you can imagine, a number of lawyers reached out to say that there is a very strong case here, not so much to reclaim mine but to prevent this from happening in the future," Brennan said. "So, I am thinking about what it is that I might want to do. At this time, I’m trying to make sure that the principle is what is going to be defended and supported and this is something that should not be repeated."

“What is “stuff we’ll never see in the press” for $200, Alex.”

Often, it is posted on Free Republic and ignored by the Deep State controlled mediots.

We all need to contribute to Free Republic to get the truth and reality out past the Deep State’s mediots.

At some point the deep staters will realize Brennan is putting all their lifetime security clearances in the spotlight.

I’m sure there is a Federal judge somewhere ready and willing to rule that President Trump does not have the power to grant or withhold security clearances. Just as he doesn’t have the power to restrict immigration, rescind previous President’s E.O.s, or enforce immigration laws passed by Congress. Those powers are reserved to the Judiciary Branch. It’s right there in Article III.

Brennan reminds me of the home invaders who later sue the home owner for injuries sustained during the crime (fell on a carving knife,stumbled and hurt knee on kids toy in the way, shot at by CPL holder to save his children’s lives in upstairs bedroom.) Unbelievable that they go to court with greedy lawyers at the side of the criminals.

However, all the talk show callers asking Levin, Bongino, et al “will Hillary,Comey,Brennan,Obama ever go to prison for all this you talked about tonight?”
Answer: “No.”

Sorry, America, you have one chance: send them to prison or fight in a civil war. No other alternatives.

As someone said before something really big happened in the 1860s:
We cannot exist half slave (conservatives obeying the law or going to jail) and half free (Dems & socialists getting with all lawbreaking).

It shows you what an out of control circus the deep state has become. It was set into hyper-speed and weaponized by Barak Obama.

If Barak Obama isn’t brought to justice over all his crimes then we have NO JUSTICE in America.

Every former military person, FBI, CIA ??? could lose their clearances due to the big mouth of Brennan.

This could mean big pay cuts or no job without an active clearance due to the above.

President Trump knows this, and that is why he yanked Brennan's clearance in the open and is talking about it.

Brennan's big mouth has endangered the pocketbooks/income of a lot of people in DC to the West Coast with jobs that require a government approved Security Clearances.

Anyone with half of a functioning brain knows that, and Brennan now knows it.

PO ing and costing former spooks and Spec Op guys a lot of money is not a wise thing to do in DC to the West Coast.

W is a lost soul after betraying conservatives and now only finds "friends" with Barack, Hillary and Bill. The game has been rigged for some period of time, it appears.

They think they can use as evidence whatever the president was “thinking” when he revoked the clearance. Have you ever heard of anything so stupid? The left have lost their minds.

These people are too stupid to realize they are being set up. They all will scurry to stand up for Brennan and just when the wailing reaches a crescendo it will be revealed just what Brennan has been doing all these years.

I say spirit of antichrist. Early start of the Strong Delusion prophesied to come.

That's why no facts, no truth, no evidence ever sways them.

Completely engulfed with irrational hatred. Like followers of Nazi Adolph Hitler.

Now I can not prove my hypothesis. I can only observe the effect and I think most will agree with me the effect we see.

Corrected.

This effect is alarming. Mass hysteria based in irrationality, propaganda and lies.

Unless Trump does not care about justice then John Brennan will on his way to a military prison soon. There is plenty of evidence now of serious crimes that he committed.

If Schiff says Brennan should sue, then it must be legal for Trump to strip his clearance.
