Full title: WATCH: Brennan Explains His Bogus Reasoning He Believes It's 'Outrageous' For Barr To Investigate Russia Probe Origins
President Donald Trump on Thursday granted Attorney General William Barr the authority to declassify information relevant to the investigation into how spying on the Trump campaign started in 2016. Former CIA Director John Brennan appeared on MSNBC's "All in with Chris Hayes" to discuss the decision.
According to Brennan, Barr investigating the origins of the Russia probe is "outrageous."
"How big a deal do you read the portion of the executive order last night that appears to give [Attorney General William] Barr the unilateral authority to declassify?" Hayes asked.
"Well, I see it as a very, very serious and outrageous move on the part of Mr. Trump, once again, trampling on the statutory authorities of the Director of National Intelligence and the heads of the independent intelligence agencies. And it's unclear to me what Mr. Barr is actually going to do. Is he investigating a crime? Well, what's the predication of that crime? Or is he just going to be looking for information?" Brennan asked.
"I think it's rightly, as you pointed out, right at the top, that Mr. Trump can just give to just some of his defenders on the right and cherrypick information that could be taken out of context. But, I think more fundamentally, is the concern is that very, very precious source and methods of the United States intelligence community, as well as our partners and allies abroad, those who share this sensitive information with us," Brennan explained. "Is Mr. Barr, who doesn't have an understanding of the equities involved, is he just going to release information he deems appropriate for Mr. Trump's defense? So this is very serious and I know my former colleagues in the intelligence agencies are looking upon this with great concern and worry."
When will Democrats and the mainstream media give it up? They wanted Trump investigated. They got their investigation. They got to pick their guy Special Counsel Robert Mueller and he found no collusion and no obstruction. In fact, it was revealed that the FISA warrants that were used to start the probe weren't vetted. The American people want to know how so much of their taxpayer funds were used for this phony investigation. They want to know exactly how this started so it never happens again.
Democrats hate Barr because he's not giving into their political whims. They wanted him to release Mueller's full report but he didn't because he followed the rule of law. Grand jury testimony is not allowed to be made public.
Democrats hate Barr because he doesn't sit back and take their crap. He's willing to use his intelligence to fight fire with fire.
Democrats hate Barr because he's going to expose their shenanigans and how this witch hunt began.
Buckle your seats, folks. This is about to be a bumpy ride.

Former CIA Director: Barr Investigation An "Outrageous" Move
That bugs the hell out of me.
I don't think I've ever heard him utter the phrase "President Trump".
But the lackeys in the "media" never call him on it.
I'd like to have three minutes in a locked room with him to parse and discuss this anomaly.
Again, if I had to just pick one of these scumbags to prosecute and put in jail for the rest of his life it would this punk. Where is the no knock 4 a.m. raid on this traitors house?
how extraordinary that everything happened on Obama’s watch and yet, to date, not a single FakeNewsMSM outlet has asked him a single question about Spygate.
He most surely is!
There has to be prosecution for this. If there is not then the FBI is on a level with the Stasi or KGB. The FBI totally screwed up things in central Oregon by lying about the fact that they shot first during the wetland standoff. They have a long history, not good.
Sessions hoped the problem would go away. I hope Barr can save our republic.
Too late ahole !
And it’s unclear to me what Mr. Barr is actually going to do. Is he investigating a crime? Well, what’s the predication of that crime? Or is he just going to be looking for information?”
Perhaps hes going to call it a counter-intelligence investigation, given the number of foreigners, including Brits, Maltese, Italians, Australians, maybe Turks, and even real Russians, that had contacts with the Three Stooges - Brennan, Comey, and Clapper. Then he can get FISA warrants against them, and turn their lives upside down. He might even get Hellary and Nobama on some side charges, such as lying to the FBI, destroying evidence, or financial shenanigans.
Who knows?
This no longer has anything to do with Trump's defense,
it has to do with the guilt of you and your fellow coup conspirators.
Boy John Brennan is really worried, isn’t he?
Don’t forget to call FOX news so they can broadcast it!
That’s an 0bammy leftard tactic. Trumps too classy for that. Now that’s not to say what Trump does will not be spectacular. Because it will be.
I’d like to see the Marshall’s raid congress and arrest them there. Move in the the Godfather. Take them all out at the same time. I would face plant brennan on MSNBC TV live. Ok, my pressure is getting high. Time to stop.
Brennan has gone full fruitcake.
Never go full fruitcake...
They already did this to people just like us, Tea Party leader of True the vote, had the FBI, CIA, IRS, ATF,.....RAID her home and businesses the WHOLE damn government alphabet came down on her and her family BECAUSE she dared to try to file for nonprofit for her Tea Party Organization!!! The IRS had HUGE tentacles in this AND NOTHING HAPPENED to ANY of these government BASTARDS just another day in DC!!!
Rock thrown into pen.
Hit pig squealed.
Popcorn ready.
Just to illuminate what you said...
“Mr. Trump [is] trampling on the statutory authorities of the Director of National Intelligence.”
Brennan is supporting three conclusions: “Trump is the inferior,” “The superiors in government are upset with Trump,” and “Trump is breaking laws.”
All three conclusion are false. Brennan knows it.
Psychopaths cannot admit the obvious: criminals are the real inferiors.
RUN SCARED you TRAITOROUS SOB
Go move to Mecca
Thanks. Maybe they’ll see the light...
