Ex-CIA Chief John Brennan Encourages Deep State to Defy President Trump's Declassification Order
2018-09-20
[GP] The Deep State is in an obvious panic mode since President Donald Trump ordered a number of documents relating to the Russia investigation be declassified. Joining the loud choir of those who are pushing for insubordination against the president is former CIA Director John Brennan.

Appearing on MSNBC on Tuesday, Brennan urged people in the intelligence community to ignore the president’s order. The former CIA head was stripped of his security clearance by Trump in August for his bizarre behavior.

"A number of individuals are trying to protect Mr. Trump and abusing their authorities and their powers, whether it be in Congress or within the executive branch," Brennan said.

"And this is something that I am hoping that individuals of conscience are going to stop and prevent because I am concerned that this is just one indication that Mr. Trump is going to increasingly look for steps to take in order to further try to subvert the Mueller investigation," Brennan continued.

Brennan joins Rep. Adam Schiff, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Senator Mark Warner, and Senator Charles Schumer who sent a letter to the heads of the intelligence agencies demanding that they commit an act of insubordination and defy the presidential order.

"Your agencies’ review, and any communication with the White House on the substance of the material, should not proceed further until you have briefed the Gang of Eight in person," the letter orders.

#15  Also tax films on the value of their copyright*, not the "profits" (hollywood accounting is dodgy as F).

Value is set by owner and on permanent "sale". Fines for breach of copyright set based on copyright value.

Wait, I'm confused: I thought there was no such thing as the "Deep State"? And here there's blatant, obvious proof that it definitely exists? And these traitors are giving it its marching orders?

Round up these traitors and disappear them.
