Clapper: Brennan's rhetoric is becoming an issue
Brennan accused the President of being a traitor.
Clapper attacks Brennan.
Brennan apologizes, said the President did no such thing.
The Senate Intel Committee, whom Brennan illegally spied upon once, rebuked Brennan for going to the public with claims he has evidence against Trump instead of going on record and under oath before the Committee with his evidence:
“If his statement is based on intelligence he has seen since leaving office, it constitutes an intelligence breach. If he has some other personal knowledge of or evidence of collusion, it should be disclosed to the special counsel, not The New York Times.”
More than 60 Intel Reps exposed Brennan's rantings as his own OPINION, not fact, by declaring, "We believe equally strongly that former government officials have the right to express their unclassified views on what they see as critical national security issues without fear of being punished for doing so."
1. No one is stopping Brennan or anyone else from sharing his opinions with anyone or any news agency. A Security Clearance is NOT needed to do that.
2. Where is the Intel Community attacking Brennan for stripping the Benghazi heroes of their security clearances fro coming forward and telling America what really happened?
Ah the desperation of the Russians spinning this disaster.
The issue isn’t whether Brennan was expressing his opinions or not. The issues is that the Government of the United States of America is sanctioning and punishing an American citizen for for critizing the President. This violates Brennan’s First Amendment rights.
There has been no suggestion from the government that Brennan has disclosed classified information in criticizing the President.
The Benghazi spooks we’re fired for violating the NDA agreements they signed when they were hired, and disclosing classified information, just like Christoper Steele was fired for talking to the press.
There is no equivalency here.
