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."

Anyone can sue Brengnat, but in this case the likelihood of a win is not good. BTW, ever hear about the term discovery? You might find how that is a two edged sword.

Next time anyone asks what is different and outstanding about Trump, remind them of this travesty.

Thanks for posting that revolting image that inspires FReepers to fight the Deep State and its Swamp environment.

Er. When you get a clearance you are informed that it can be taken away arbitrarily. No one has a right to a clearance.

Too many morons in USA.
Courts _do_ not decide inter-governmental issues; they remain unresolved. Each branch of USA government is autonomous. If they don’t agree, they work around it.

Then again, courts are created by congress, so they are _lower_ that the legislative branch.

The executive has huge power since it can arrest court representatives who are acting unlawfully. Congress can merely defund executive activities.

DO IT!!! Oh man, to have Brennan subject to discovery YES!!

That would be fun for Guiliani, but what legal restrictions are there on information obtained during discovery?

That’s what they were saying about Trump winning, cutting taxes, businesses returning, 4.10 GNP, black vote ever being in play, swamp draining...

It’s time to believe in things. Miracles have already happened and are continuing to happen.

I will present, as evidence, that the move by massive companies to restrict who may or may not use their services by political bias is a move toward limitations on purchases and selling in the Bible

The Constitution got rid of the Muslim in the White House. Bammie always expressed contempt for it & must really hate it now.

So now the Left is calling for a Convention of the States under Article V. They think it would be like a Constituent Assembly (convened to draft a constitution where none currently exists) to overthrow the existing Document, but they’re wrong, of course.

Brennan will be ultimately be as successful at getting his security clearances reinstated as he was at preventing Trump from becoming POTUS!!

Brennan may land a Trump Hating Federal District Court Judge to rule for in his favor initially but the Appeals Court or SCOTUS for sure will ultimately side with POTUS that the granting and revoking of Security Clearances are the sole power of the Executive!!

Awesome. Since it is all related to his role in the attempt to overturn the 2016 election, this would be an awesome chance to get lots of FBI and CIA and DOJ documents as part of discovery.

Just awesome. Do it, Brennan. Trump’s lawyers are chomping at the bit to get these documents.

Otherwise, you are right. Brennan is dumb as a rock. You have to realize that Valerie Jarrett and George Soros wanted a dumb puppet running CIA that they could completely control. They made sure he was also Muslim or at least a Muslim sympathizer. You don’t have to be very smart to just do what you are ordered to do.

How this deranged dummy ever got confirmed as head of CIA I’ll never know. What possible basis would he have to sue on?

This follows Reps. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) and Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) saying Trump stripping Brennan of his security clearance is illegal.

Repeat a lie often enough...
