Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. Mcgahn, the Current White House council has been meeting and talking with Robert Muellers team. Theres also the president s former Campaign Chairman, still waiting for a verdict in his tax evasion and bank fraud trial. And dozens more intelligence professionals weighing in against the president removing John Brennans Security Clearance. His anger at least on twitter appears to be growing. Bob mueller and his whole group of democrat thugs spent over 30 hours with the white house counsel, only with my approval for purposes of transparency. He then went on talking about mueller. Anyone needing that much time is just someone looking for trouble. They are enjoying ruining peoples lives and refuse to look at the real corruption on the democrats side. The lies, the firings, the deleted emails and so much more. Muellers angry dems are a national disgrace. The president railed against bruce ohrs Securi
into this name calling and immature statements. we re in an age where the president of the united states is calling people who work for the government thugs. rudy giuliani. caw calling them stormtroopers. blowhards, all of these things so much for the language of presidents, think not what you what your country will do for you, but what you can do for your country. the president has such an enormous responsibility and has such an incredible platform for shaping the discourse of the united states. director clapper, the president has said that the reason so many former intelligence officers are coming forward condemning the taking away brennan s security clearance, his clearance is in his words, worth great prestige and big dollars. is there a truth to that? it could be for some people but it doesn t really apply to me or i don t think to john.
or to give him the license back based on the first amendment as well as the federal regs to bar what i would argue bars it. amanda, part of the letter, more than 175 former government officials signed disagreeing with the president s decision to revoke brennan s security clearance. former government officials have the right to express their unclassified views on what they see as critical national security issues without fear of being punished for doing so. retired general michael flynn with clearance in 2016 criticizing president obama and really harshly criticizing secretary of state hillary clinton and president obama did not revoke his security clearance. how does this letter strike you? well, when president trump was threatening to take away brennan s security clearance rye ranking republicans like paul ryan dismissed it as trolling and this is provoking among the
unacceptable. it s really telling because there s two parts. he said take my clearance away so that s the local issue of brennan and his clearance, but the admiral went beyond that and made it a larger broader comment on why he s upset with the administration. and frankly, although john s situation is a proximate cause for all of us signing letters and protesting, i think it s kind of one additional straw that s breaking the camel s back. our complaint is not just about this. it s about the whole tone, tenor and behavior of the administration. have you heard any of you from current national security or intelligence officials, ones in the trump administration whether political or nonpolitical appointees, expressing solidarity with what you re saying? you don t have to give their names obviously, but have you been given any attaboys or attagirls?
president who doesn t know what to do and just decides to lash out at people, and this is just another lashing out. he was wrong to take away brennan s clearance for political reasons. there is no proof that brennan or any of the other people mentioned in that list have done anything to break their oath of office. so ilt s off the table. it should have never happened. good to see you guys back together again. thank you so much. well, the argument for impeachment and the price democrats could pay for it in november. the author of a new book is joining me, coming up in the next hour. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that s why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management.
