This, republic from wisconsin. let s listen to that first. i m not sure there s evidence that anybody has misused it but i do believe former cia director john brennan abused his privilege. when you re an ex-cia director and you re going on all the cable news shows and acts as partisan as he is and accusing the president of the united states of treasonous behavior, high crimes and misdemeanors, last time i checked treason was punishable by death. you ve just crossed a line, and so i have no problem that the president pulled his clearance. elie? oh, my, we re talking about courtesy, not the law. we re talking about courtesy, okay? donald trump exists to teach us the difference between laws and norms. if it s a norm, he s going to break it. this was a courtesy that was given to other people. trump doesn t like courtesy, so he s going to break it. brennan, the courtesy would be not to call the president a traitor. of course the courtesy would be ....
And he was making no bones about it. of course they were talking about treason as well. i m sorry to turn this into the merriam-webster hour. please do. treason has several meanings. treason we use colloquially to describe treacherous behavior. it doesn t always mean the constitutionally defined crime for which you may be punished with death. similarly, yes. i mean you don t think brennan meant that, then? you don t think brennan meant it that way legally? you don t? i m saying he couldn t have meant that because treason has a very specific statutory definition. it means you are working with or giving aid or comfort to an enemy, a declared enemy. russia may be a competitor. russia may be not playing fair. russia may be liar, liar, pants on fire, but they are not an enemy as that is defined for the crime of troin. so i think there is no way that john brennan meant treason as a ....
Doesn t follow the spirit of the office that john brennan had held. right. to make such an accusation, to use such a word treason. i think you have to look at the facts. what he is talking about is the president siding with vladimir putin, right? so when he sent out the tweet that said the actions were treasonous, he was talking about something specific. it wasn t a broad accusation. additionally i think this is the deep state conspiracy essentially coming to the fore. this is the bowels of the right-wing internet entering the mainstream conversation and making it so john brennan is essentially an enemy of trump supporters. and so this is him taking an act of personal political retribution in an unprecedented way when what we re dealing with is something very serious. he is ringing an alarm because the president sided with vladimir putin after he attacked our country, and we can t forget that. senator ron johnson said ....
here s the thing. first of all, sarah huckabee sanders came to the white house podium on thursday and said, you know, we re revoking the security clearance because of erratic conduct and behavior. she also said that he is engaging in a series of outrageous allegations, wild outbursts on the internet and television. you could literally swamp donald trump swap donald trump s name with john brennan s. then the president in a wall street journal interview made it clear that he did this because john brennan was attacking him personally, and he didn t like that. while it s not a first amendment violation, it certainly violates the expert of the first amendment. as a conservative who believes in the constitution and that presidents shouldn t use the presidential powers to retaliate against people, this is absolutely an inappropriate move on the president s part, and it should be called for what it is. the critics will say it ....
