  3. I love this phrase:

    "presumption of regularity”

    It is in the lawsuit, filed by former CIA Director John Brennan against the DOJ and Trump administration, it states that the Trump/DOJ can no longer be trusted - the DOJ "no longer deserves the presumption of regularity”.

    For lawyers, the phrase “presumption of regularity” has a specific legal meaning.

    It refers to the longstanding principle that government officials are generally presumed to perform their duties lawfully and in good faith unless compelling evidence suggests otherwise.

  5. Facing indications that the #DOJ could soon seek to indict him, fmr #CIA dir #JohnBrennan took the unusual step of asking a federal court to intervene before any charges get filed.

    In a DC lawsuit, Brennan’s attys asked a judge to order top ofcls at DOJ to preserve all records related to the investigation of the Obama-era #intelligence director. They intend to use those files as part of a defense argument that any prosecution of Brennan stems from a vindictive drive by #Trump seeking revenge.

  7. Among those targeted for possible prosecution is #JohnBrennan, the fmr #CIA director—a top priority for #Trump in his efforts to prosecute his political foes. Brennan denies wrongdoing. Last week, a spox told CNN #ToddBlanche had not recused from the Brennan investigation.

    Inside the #DOJ, Blanche has delegated oversight of the so-called conspiracy investigation to top aides, & has not participated in meetings on the probe in recent months, acc/to people briefed.

  12. The former Central Intelligence Agency director John Brennan has added his name to growing calls for the president to be ousted on grounds that he is unfit for the job,
    arguing that the US constitution’s 25th amendment addressing involuntary removal from office was
    “written with Donald Trump in mind”.

    Brennan, who served as head of the spy agency during Barack Obama’s presidency, told MS Now on Saturday that
    Trump’s recent volatile remarks about destroying Iranian civilization
    and the danger he posed to so many lives
    merited his removal from the Oval Office.

    “This person is clearly unhinged,”
    he said.
    “I think the 25th amendment was written with Donald Trump in mind.”

    Brennan added that Trump was too much of a liability to be allowed to continue to be commander-in-chief, with immense firepower at his disposal, including the US nuclear arsenal.

  28. Trump moves to revoke clearances for officials who signed Hunter Biden letter

    President Trump took executive action Monday to start revoking the security clearances of his former national security adviser, John Bolton, and dozens of intelligence officials who signed a letter in 2020 claiming emails found on a laptop owned by Hunter Biden bore the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign.

    Among those who signed the letter are former Defense Secretary #LeonPanetta, former Director of National Intelligence #JamesClapper, former #CIA and #NSA Director #MichaelHayden and former CIA Director #JohnBrennan.

  35. what hasn't been mentioned often in this conflagration is the potential of #Hamas sleeper-cell infiltrators having made it inside Israel during the mass incursion.

    if #JohnBrennan says he's worried about it, that means I should be, too.
