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."

Some shopped-for, muslim-inclined federal judge might well give Brennan his taqqiyah quarter, just as Arlen Specter was willing to accept Scottish law.

Well, John—discovery should be interesting.

The courts rule “no standing” all the time. This is for sure an appropriate time.

The person who vouched for Brennan was CIA Director George Tenant. Tenant was a rather stupid man. Certainly, in CIA history, Tenant was its most unintelligent CIA Director and just slightly below George H.W. Bush and Admiral Stansfield Turner.

A friend still in the DC area estimated there are 50,000 100,000 Deep Staters in the DC area with a secret to top secret clearance that could be lost like Brennan's.

That clearance may be the lynch pin to keeping their jobs.

They are not happy with Brennan's bs. Below is another concern of these crummy bastards.

Thanks to Donna for the above.

I wonder what an “important” guy like Brennan would think about a schumck like me laughing at him?

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

Correct. In fact, my (rather low-level) clearance acknowledgement form stated that it could be taken away for any arbitrary reason, or no reason at all.

But still, look for a Federal Judge to block this action.

ROFLMAO!!!! Please do.......

John Brennan has a pair threes call bet.

But where are you going to find an ice pick that small?

[Rome2000]

There is an established Federal procedure for appealing a revocation, suspension, or failure to issue a Security Clearance.

You would be amazed at the character of some of the people that have used this process, and the reasons they did not get a clearance.

The procedure does not include “suing” the President.

Don’t worry. A lot of schmucks laugh-at these seditionist traitors. Hopefully we will laugh as they receive Justice.

Good...discovery will be *itch!

It took a heavy ice ax to pierce Trotsky’s brain, which was then surgically removed and found to weigh more than the average human brain; so you do have a point, pun intended.
