John Brennan and his lawyers are way ahead of these incompetents

[malaise]

This lawsuit is going to be fun.

1. Yeah.. He's no fool--but rather an intensely intelligent man who knows the score...

He is likewise very connected. so availing himself of the very best legal minds (and whistleblowers to help him) is all but a "given."

2. Serious rebuttal. Might be a very significant callout.

3. This is how it is done.

Proactive and on the offense. Creative and smart.

5. I'm kind of surprised that this hasn't been done already

Should have happened right away when Biden came in.

6. Donny's going to pay for this.

Brennan likely knows everything there is about Donny. Or he has easy access to any of it. He's a pro.

7. Ex-CIA head sues Trump administration to preserve records of inquiries into him

subtitle-John Brennan demands record preservation to enable his defense if he’s indicted over ‘phantom criminal conduct’


snip-"Brennan said in the lawsuit that the records would be essential for him to mount a defense on vindictive prosecution grounds in the event of a future indictment brought by the administration."

snip-"Such a defense, his lawyers said, would be supported by the more than 100 verbal or written statements that Donald Trump has made since 2017 lambasting Brennan and by the Republican president’s directives to his Department of Justice to initiate cases “without regard to factual or legal justification”.

snip-"The lawsuit names as defendants Trump and other top law enforcement officials from his administration, including the acting attorney general, Todd Blanche; the FBI director, Kash Patel; and the prosecutors in Florida who have been overseeing investigations related to Brennan and other former perceived Trump adversaries."

11. Recommended.

Mr. Brennan is far too intelligent and capable for anyone in this administration to try to play with. PeeWee Herman would have had a better chance fighting Mike Tyson.
