Brennan Explains Why 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."

Brennan Explains The Bogus Reason He Believes It's 'Outrageous' For Barr To Investigate Russia Probe

___________

What is "outrageous" is that Brennan, as the President's Counter-Terrorism "czar", converted to Islam while he was the CIA's Station Chief in Saudi Arabia.

Well, since he asked . . . yes, AG Barr is investigating multiple crimes.

This makes the Barr easily distinguishable from the Mueller “investigation”.

So now the talking heads will stop chanting cover up and start chanting uncover up?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

>>> And it’s unclear to me what Mr. Barr is actually going to do. Is he investigating a crime? <<<

Yes. Multiple federal crimes by multiple Hussein hacks.

[RoosterRedux]

Trump is timing Brennan's moment of truth/trial/execution until after 2020 when he (POTUS) has max power and nothing to lose.

Same for Brennan's entire cabal, right up the ladder to the highest point at which justice can be meted out.

If I had to guess, justice will be meted out to some folks away from the public glare. But, if POTUS gets his way (and he usually does), it will be meted out nonetheless--for the sake of the country and all that is right and holy.

“...Mr. Trump, once again, trampling on the statutory authorities of the Director of National Intelligence and the heads of the independent intelligence agencies.”

The President of the United States trampling????

Most people would characterize what Trump did as invoking HIS statutory authority.

Are these heads of intelligence agencies a law unto themselves? Untouchables?

Trump Girl Kit Cat said yesterday:

"Solace for me would be a Roger Stone style RAID in the middle of the night since I don’t trust the FBI, perhaps it could be done be US Marshals, LOTS of AK’s fully loaded, THEN having him handcuffed with ALL of his neighbors watching, then having him locked up!!!!

CORRUPT, MUZZIE, POS!!!"

Brennan has an appropriate first name cause he’s full of doodoo.

[Bullish]

Hilarious... Absolutely frikkin’ hilarious. It shows the type of stupid people Obama appointed.

You’re going down, John. The more you open your yap the more I’m absolutely convinced of it.

Because these evil f*cks thought they ran the world and that they’d never get caught. Then knew that if she won, they’d be rewarded and would take down any that opposed her and their agenda. Now that they’ve been caught, they’re shitting their collective pants and waiting for when the US Marshal’s show up at their houses.

[Vendome]

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.

That’s hilarious...

[Old Yeller]

Nothing more than cornered rats lashing out.

[Clutch Martin]

Ask “WWPRD” i.e. What would Paul Redmond do?

Pull Brennan’s passport and revoke his access/clearance, not for cause (yet) as Brennan might not have a “Need To Know” any longer.

Brennan:......"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?”.......

This bozo is scared stiff about Barr's superior knowledge of the law, and the perils for those who foolishly break it.

These Obama-era jerks are used to a sap-happy president more than willing to strangle the law to get what he wanted.
He wanted Trump and all he stood for, incuding his supporters, out of his way.

Barr is about to discover what exactly these scummy Obama minions did in that effort.

[DesertRhino]

BS. The president alone can declassify anything he decides to. Barr is his staff member designated to help him do this. And I think some sources and methods need some disinfecting sunshine because they were used in the coup attempt. The people have a right to prevent a reoccurrence

OH, THOSE HEADY DAYS OF “ANYTHING GOES”..... WHEN HILLARY WAS A “SURE-THING”

OBAMA’s CIA Director Brennan’s Perjury Peril.-—In his May 2017 testimony before the Congressional intel panel,
<><> Brennan emphatically denied the dossier factored into the Obama intel apparat’s conclusion.
<><> Obama concluded that Russia meddled in the 2016 election “to help Trump’s chances of victory.”
<><> Brennan also swore that he did not know who commissioned the anti-Trump research document,
<><> even though DOJ/FBI senior natl security and counter-intel officials knew that the dossier was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign.
<><> One official said: “John Brennan did more than anyone to promulgate the dirty dossier. “
<><> “Brennan politicized and effectively weaponized what was patently false intelligence against Trump.”

Brennan, a fiercely loyal Obama appointee, talked up the dossier to Democratic leaders, as well as the press, during the 2016 campaign and fed allegations about Trump-Russia contacts directly to the FBI, while pressuring the bureau to conduct an investigation of several Trump campaign figures.

Obama’s CIA Director, John Brennan, sucked up bigtime to get a job with Hillary; he worked tidbits from the tidbits from the phony ‘Pee Dossier’ into Obama’s Daily Intel Briefing (PDB). Wadda ya know ‘bout that? Brennan and Hillary pegged Obama correctly......
<><> Obama was stupid enough to believe it...... and
<><> too stupid to understand he was reading falsified intel.

---

AND THIS-— Devin Nunes is investigating Obama intel officials’ roles in promoting the salacious Steele dossier — and is said to be focusing on:
<><> Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan,
<><> Obama’s first CIA director, Leon Panetta,
<><> Obama’s intel czar, James Clapper,
<><> Obama’s NSA adviser, Susan Rice, and,
<><> Obama’s hand-picked UN Amb Samantha Power.
