John Brennan responds!

Just now on MSNBC Nicolle Wallace, he called in and Wallace read this tweet:

"This action is part of a broader effort by Mr. Trump to suppress freedom of speech & punish critics. It should gravely worry all Americans, including intelligence professionals, about the cost of speaking out. My principles are worth far more than clearances. I will not relent."

has a "bag of tricks" ready to let loose at any moment he needs a DISTRACTION (this time it is Omarosa's book). He is petty and immature. He chose Brennan due to his negative comments last night on Lawrence O'Donnell.

This times 1000.

Brennan is not going to be bullied or intimidated over losing his security clearance, and he isn't going to shut up. Keep talking. Drumpf has nothing to defend himself with

lots of support for Brennan and three idiots claiming..........

1.Brennan is a communist
2.Brennan supported the release of the PanAm flight 103 bomber
3.Brennan should be tried as a traitor

I typed out an angry reply to the third one and stopped myself before hitting send. Have to remember these tweets are either..........

Brainwashed cult members
paid Russian trolls
or, Russian bots

either way not worth my time...........
