Two of the 3 stooges lash out at Trump for transparency

Former CIA Director and clear pronouncer of his "t's" John Brennan along with his partner in crime, former DNI James Clapper slammed President Trump on Friday for abiding by his promise of transparency and directing Attorney General William Barr to declassify documents related to the surveillance of his campaign during the 2016 election.

The two stooges [the third stooge is, of course, James Comey] called 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 the MSNBC androgynous-looking host Chris Hayes, using the Trump-esque expression "very very." 

"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 [as if the left had a predication of a crime on Trump.]  Or he is just going to be looking for information... that Mr. Trump can just give to his defenders on the right and cherry-pick information that could be taken out of context?"

So the plot thickens as the shoe is on the other proverbial foot, eh, Brennan? Time to form your circular firing squad.

Brennan expressed concern about exposing "sources and methods" as well as the intelligence of "partners abroad." But he's spit-balling because he doesn't know what the documents will expose.

"This is very serious and I know that my former colleagues in the intelligence agencies are looking upon this with great concern and worry," Brennan said.

He later said he hopes that DNI Dan Coats and CIA Director Gina Haspel will "stand up" to President Trump's "unprecedented act."

The POTUS has the authority to declassify information and that has happened in the past. There is no reason to believe that Trump will compromise sources and methods with the material he declassifies.

James Clapper told CNN's Anderson "I Can Take A Punch" Cooper that the "bigger issue" is "what exactly is the scope" of the declassification, whether it involves all of Russia's interference in the election or just the counter-intelligence probe. He expressed similar concerns that Brennan voiced regarding sources and methods being exposed and putting "people's lives at risk," [much like former Attorney General and Obama "Wingman" Eric Holder did with the "Fast and Furious" strawman gun sales he pushed with the Mexican drug cartels that got Border Agent Brian Terry killed.]

Clapper, now a CNN analyst of questionable character, insisted that the debunked Steele dossier was not used as sourcing for the intelligence community assessment in January 2017. But it looks like he's going to have a cow.
