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.

DNI Dan Coats seems to be of the opinion that he gets to decide what information and records AG Barr gets too see? Um, no, he doesn’t.

I imagine John will be packing a bag and hopping a midnight flight sometime real soon. Traitorous bastid just can’t keep from flapping his gums. He is lower than gum on the bottom of a shoe and just as icky.

You’re not gonna talk your way outta this one, johnnie boy. The more you talk, the worse it gets. I suggest you quit making media appearances and definitely make an appearance at your attorneys office soon!

Trump should make it very public that any intelligence agency that does not cooperate with Barr will be fired immediately and escorted from their offices by US Marshals.

There was a woman, who was setting up seminars to teach people how to stop voter fraud in their states. Obama’s goons accused of her suppressing the vote and they sent the EPA, FBI, IRS, and everything else to their business to destroy their lives.

She testified in Congress.

I cannot remember her name.

The bigger question is how in the .ell did Brennan ever get to the position of CIA Director? His rise goes well beyond Obama. My view of Obama has not changed... he was and still is a lazy pot head.

CITIZEN FREE PRESS:

Italy flips on Brennan, fires 6 Intelligence directors… Will they hand over Mifsud?
Posted by Kane on May 17, 2019 9:33 am

George Papadopoulos @GeorgePapa19

The Italian prime minister has suddenly requested resignations from 6 deputy directors of Italian intelligence agencies: DIS, AISI and AISE. This was all after I outed Mifsud in Rome and the president called the Italian prime minister. Italy has flipped and are giving up Brennan.

Brennan is like my changed words to a Buddy Holly song that went “Every day gets a little stronger i.e. love)” to “Every day gets a little insaner”.

Brennan, Moscow’s top man in the Obama Administration, besides Obama, Rhodes, Kerry, Clinton, and Holder.

Brennan was already in the 'spy' business long before Obama was plucked up and planted upon US. Obama was/is a tool... he was allowed to rule over US by those that took an oath to protect and defend our Constitution. Globalism was the goal .. and taking down and out middle class - independent- Americans, was the intent.

The president (Obama) has put in place an organization that contains the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life. That’s going to be very, very powerful. That database will have information about everything on every individual in ways that it’s never been done before.” -— Maxine Waters, 2013

Our Government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the Government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means — to declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal — would bring terrible retribution!!

– Louis Brandeis (1856-1941)

Brennan is scared to death...finally. President Trump isn't actually giving Barr the ability to declassify stuff - he's giving Barr the authority and task of deciding what shouldn't be declassified for legal/national security/privacy reasons...

Brennan thinks he can tough/bluff his way out of this. He and others need to be shown otherwise. If he were to go, I suspect we'd see folks make McCain look like a normal person they'd be singing so loud, and in such vast numbers. Let's make a Deal! Come on down...
