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."

Only an ineligible usurper would do that.
Hey Johnny …...Trump is their BOSS.....and we are coming for YOU!
Money’s definitely part of it. But it’s very wrong to say left-wing hate America politics doesn’t play the main role, never mind no role at all. That would be a near total misunderstanding of what we’re up against today.
Brennan asks the predication for investigating the predication of the previous investigation. LOL. Again nothing but pure projection from those who colluded. The predication is perjury, obstruction of justice, abuse of power, conspiracy, leaking of classified information, conspiracy, conspiracy against the United States... just for starters.
The MSM spins and obfuscates but slowly they are coming around. This is something they just can't avoid reporting. They report it just by trying to spin and deflect and mock. The one thing they can't do is ignore it.

Yes indeed.
Brennan: Blah, blah, blah, blah...…..
How many Blahs can one person utter.
How many people will BELIEVE him?
It will be a sunny day for Freedom and Civility when this traitor is hanged on the WDC mall.
Right On!
i will take that misunderstanding and raise you one delirium
You seriously don’t believe that these people’s hate America hard left politics have nothing to do with them colluding with foreign enemies?
Let us not overlook the judge’s determination that a flimsy $10 million won’t be adequate bail, Manafort style. The impartial jurist cavalierly overlooked the unblemished history of the accused’s full cooperation with all document and other requests.
This, inevitably lead to 23 hours a day in solitary, without so much as an occasional newspaper to read.
Precisely what our Founding Fathers had in mind.
That this happened in the US should outrage every thinking American
