Former CIA Director John Brennan and former DNI James Clapper blasted President Trump on Friday night for directing Attorney General William Barr to declassify documents related to the surveillance of his campaign during the 2016 election, calling it "outrageous."
"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," Brennan told MSNBC host Chris Hayes. "And it's unclear to me what Mr. Barr is actually going to do. Is he investigating a crime?

I would say that Brennan is an apostate!! I believe he is Muslim Brotherhood as is BH Obama. Once you understand this, everything else starts to fall into place. Hopefully, AG Barr will start the great unraveling!! I would love to see the criminals at the top of the prior administration, as well as the crooks in the FBI, wear orange jumpsuits. In a just world this would happen.

Wow, projection at its best and most blatant. This is the kind of response we expect from Hillary when her 30,000 emails about the Clinton Foundation-financed wedding and the baby are revealed.
Public display of surveillance will inform us accurately which agency did it and which director committed the most serious crimes. This show is getting good.

I suggest an eventual FBI armed raid at 5:00am to seize everything in the house and handcuff them and perp walk them to jail in their pajamas. You know what goes around comes around.

"This is very serious and I know that my former colleagues in the intelligence agencies are looking upon this with great concern and worry," the former top Obama official stated. I'll bet there is 'great concern and worry'. Unlike many of you, I will not be satisfied with prison terms. These crimes call for executions. Lots of them.

This reminds me of a police officer making up laws about not videoing them during their public actions. Arrogant, loud, and 100% wrong.

For two guys who are totally innocent and operated completely within
the normal procedures of the agencies they ran, Brennan and Clapper
seem very nervous. Wonder what they’ll do when the FISA documents
are released. Try to bug out for Argentina? Uruguay? The Congo?

Tis is rich, Brennan asks Are they investigating a crime? I cannot WAIT for the screaming about witch hunts to begin. They are scared, and not about the disclosure of means and methods.
Note how outraged they are now that the shoe is on the other foot. Suck it up buttercup. I'm guessing you folks have a lot more to worry about then President Trump ever did.

"And it's unclear to me what Mr. Barr is actually going to do. Is he investigating a crime?"
Seems to me that we asked what crime Mueller was investigating and Brennan screamed, collusion with Russia, a completely unproven event at the time and NOW, completely repudiated. So the investigation is the potential crime of the intelligence agencies and people working for them spying without cause and lying to the FISA court. That's deadly serious stuff and Brennan and Clapper are right in the thick of it. It's funny that NOW they are worried about a "crime". Also, the Justice department is fully authorized to investigate before a crime has been determined. However, a special prosecutor should not have been assigned in the absence of a crime.
The Deep State are really squirming and it's funny to see them whining about things that they foisted on Trump. One big difference. Trump is innocent.

Brennan is very weird and I'm amazed that someone so political and unstable would have ever become the Director of the CIA. The irony of his statement is that Trump was subjected to a criminal investigation when there was never a criminal charge sited by any of the investigators. There literally is no statute against any citizen meeting with foreign parties to gather information on political candidates during a campaign. It can't violate campaign finance laws by providing value without being reported as a campaign expense as the DNC did with Fusion GPS but otherwise its protected under the First Amendment. On the other hand, using the intelligence apparatus to spy on a US citizen based on a warrant that was justified based on material (the dossier) that was unverified and politically motivated is a violation of the citizen's civil rights under color of law and may qualify as a hate crime given the statements from Brennan, Comey, and Steele.

Normally, I would agree with Rush Limbaugh that this will not get up to Obama's level. BUT, Obama is so arrogant and doesn't really have friends - AND these bums like Brennan and Clapper are out to save their own skins. I have a little optimism that someone just might squeal on good ol' Fauxbama.

Brennan is once again practicing triaka. I'm not a jihadi so I don't know how it's spelled. How long before CAIR steps in to protect their fellow subversive? 3...2...1

They are getting frightened. Normally, they have been able to hide effectively behind their shield of classification. Now that is being broken down, what they actually did is going to be released. They known that they are criminals, and now they fear prison. MAGA!
