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.

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. -

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.

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.

At first, the prosecutors gathered documents late last year from #JohnBrennan & other former intelligence officials. The subpoenas specifically sought information about a 2017 intelligence report on Russian meddling in the election that Brennan worked on, & which he spoke about in his 2023 congressional testimony.

Prosecutors in the Miami #USattorney’s office have been leading the #JohnBrennan probe, which relates to testimony the ex-intelligence chief gave to #Congress in 2023 & the #Russia investigation years earlier, issuing 2 rounds of subpoenas to several witnesses.
Yet the push for charges has run into career prosecutors raising concerns in southern Florida, with some viewing the potential case as relatively weak.

On Friday, the US attorney’s office in Southern Florida issued 30 #subpoenas to individuals such former #CIA director #JohnBrennan, & other fmr intelligence officials. Shortly before Executive Assistant United States Attorney Manolo Reboso signed off on the subpoenas, 2 career US attorneys resigned because they “felt like there was something they could not take part in because it would violate their ethical responsibilities,” acc/to MSNBC.

#JohnBrennan, who led the #CIA during an investigation into Russian #ElectionInterference in 2016, has been historically critical of #Trump on #Russia. Just before his tenure as CIA director ended in 2017, he warned that he didn’t think Trump had “a full appreciation of Russian capabilities, Russia’s intentions & actions that they are undertaking in many parts of the world.”

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.
Mr. Trump said in his order that the signers of the letter “willfully weaponized the gravitas of the Intelligence Community to manipulate the political process and undermine our democratic institutions.”
The letter at issue was signed by 51 former intelligence officials and released in October 2020.
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.

📚 #CraigUnger’s book made headlines because of a charge from an ex-#KGB colonel, #YuriShvets, that Donald #Trump has been a #KGB asset for 40 years
Former national security director #JamesClapper has described him “in effect … an #intelligence asset”; and former #CIA director #JohnBrennan has said #Trump is “wholly in the pocket of #Putin”. So Shvets’ accusation isn’t really very surprising

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.
how many are there, and what will be the targets when Israel's retaliatory strike begins?
if #JohnBrennan says he's worried about it, that means I should be, too.
