Brennan: I Didn’t Mean to Accuse Trump of “Treason.” Wait, Yes I Did.


Former CIA director for the Obama administration, John Brennan,  appeared on Meet the Press on Sunday and told host Chuck Todd that he might sue President Trump over the revoking of his security clearance. He also stated that he stands by his prior assessment of Trump as treasonous. After telling Rachel Maddow on Friday that he didn’t mean to accuse Trump of treason, one has to wonder if this swamp creature’s head is spinning over the sound of impending drainage of the marsh he calls home.

Well, I called his behavior treasonous, which is to betray one’s trust, and to aid and abet the enemy,” Brennan said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “And I stand very much by that claim.”

NBC’s Chuck Todd asked the ex-CIA head if he perhaps had gone too far with his remarks against the president.

“Well, I think these are abnormal times and I think a lot of people have spoken out against what Mr. Trump has done,” Brennan replied.

Brennan told Todd he’s contemplating taking legal action in an effort to prevent Trump from pulling the security clearances of his critics.

“As I’m being pulled through the mud now, if that’s the price we’re going to pay to prevent Donald Trump from doing this against other people, to me it’s a small price to pay,” Brennan said. “If it means going to court, I’ll do that.”
