AP sources: Former CIA chief Brennan to brief Dems on Iran
Associated Press ^ | May 19, 2019 | Lisa Mascaro

House Democrats will hear from former CIA Director John Brennan about the situation in Iran, inviting him to speak next week amid heightened concerns over the Trump administration’s sudden moves in the region.

Brennan, an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, is scheduled to talk to House Democrats at a private weekly caucus meeting Tuesday, according to a Democratic aide and another person familiar with the private meeting. Both were granted anonymity to discuss the meeting.

The invitation to Brennan and Wendy Sherman, a former State Department official and top negotiator of the Iran nuclear deal, offers counterprogramming to the Trump administration’s closed-door briefing for lawmakers also planned for Tuesday on Capitol Hill. Democratic lawmakers are likely to attend both sessions. …

Romney’s a jerk, and its absurd that someone can be Governor of one state and then a Senator from another, but dissing POTUS is at least legal. The others like Brennan and Comey are likely guilty of Sedition. Comey at least is under the supervision of the DOJ but I am afraid that even the DOJ won’t be able to prosecute a criminal CIA director - can the DOJ even get evidence from the CIA?

No, they are not winning. At the start of a fight, the end seems far off.

Democrats’re going to ask a guy with no security clearance and therefore no recent information on Iran... about the current situation in Iran. Is that not peculiar?

But it fits my theory that all this collusion hoax BS has been about Iran from the outset, even before Flynn wrote Field of Fight.

What would be funnier, I daresay even the funniest thing, would be if he were to just fall down or something and not get back up.

Or maybe something like what happened to Chuck in Better Call Saul.

LOL! Man I’m cracking myself up today.

Why not just have Khomeini, or Ahmadinejad do it?!!

That reminds me, the Democrats should call in Code Pink's Media Benjamin to give them a briefing too, since her intel has to at least be as fresh as Brennan's.

This is just public posturing by the Rats & Brennan. Though Brennan might also be pleading with them behind the scenes for some kind of protection.

Suspending habeas corpus is not an impeachable offense. It is in the Constitution.


You seriously think that would stop them?

By that point, habeas corpus would be suspended.

The rebellious Dems (but then again, I repeat myself) have always been intent on making the times like that.

So... the Democrats are going to get a "security" briefing from an idiot who has no security clearance?

Oh well, whatever... if you're a party who takes economics lessons from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who kinda sorta majored in it at college, and political advice from Rob "Meathead" Reiner and Babs Streisand, you'll accept anything.

This must be their latest scam Plan. Have someone blow up an Iranian bomb near US personnel and incite President Trump to retaliate. Then call him irrational and crazy. Blah blah blah.

Wiretap the Dims and play the recording LIVE.

Yep - the talk will have more to do with getting stories straight and trying to salvage the failed treason....
