Days ago amid the Trump administration’s election challenge turmoil which has resulted in over a dozen lawsuits filed in several battleground states, Donald Trump Jr. urged the president to unleash the nuclear option: “DECLASSIFY EVERYTHING!!!” he wrote in all caps on Twitter. “We can’t let the bad actors get away with it.”
Others also picked up on the idea: “Here’s something constructive Trump could do before leaving office at noon on January 20: he could order — demand, insist — that all classified intel and other documents related to the origin of the Russia/election investigation be declassified and released to the public forthwith — unredacted,” columnist Sheldon Richman wrote.
It didn’t take long for this distinct possibility to attract the attention of both the mainstream media and the intelligence establishment which has so long been at odds (or even at ‘war’) with the president. Reacting specifically to the ouster of Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Monday, ex-CIA spy chief under the Obama administration John Brennan essentially urged a palace coup against Trump prior to January 20th to ensure he doesn’t declassify anything sensitive or too revealing:
Pres. Trump is "like a cornered cat…he's going to lash out and the fact…that he has the powers of the presidency in his hands is quite worrisome."

In the incredible Monday evening CNN interview, Brennan – himself responsible for stoking the now widely debunked Russiagate claims from the start of the Trump presidency – brazenly urged Vice President Mike Pence to seize power.
He asserted that despite Biden preparing to transition into the White House on inauguration day, still two months away, at this point Trump is a threat to national security:
“I’m very concerned what he might do in his remaining 70 days in office,” said Brennan on Monday’s edition of Cuomo Prime Time. “Is he going to take some type of military action? Is he going to release some type of information that could, in fact, threaten our national security interests?”
Brennan took things even further and added specifics in terms of what the former longtime spy chief wants to see happen: “If Vice President Pence and the cabinet had an ounce of fortitude and spine and patriotism, I think they would seriously consider invoking the 25th Amendment and pushing Donald Trump out because he is just very unpredictable now,” he added.

And referencing what appears to be a post-election purge and exodus following multiple federal agency top officials either being pushed out or resigning since last Thursday even as votes were being tallied, Brennan suggested this is part of a Trump conspiracy to compromise national security.
“If Mark Esper has been pushed aside because he is not listening to Donald Trump, carrying out these orders, who knows what his successor, this acting secretary Chris Miller’s going to do if Donald Trump does give some type of order that really is counter to what I think our national security interests need to be,” Brennan said.
But thankfully few actually in power are likely to listen to John Brennan, given his sour grapes and anger at Trump has clearly long been personal.
Pentagon finally confirms near total decapitation of civilian leadership in the last 24 hours. Secretary of Defense Esper fired Monday, the top Pentagon Policy official, top Defense Department intelligence official, and chief of staff to the Defense Secretary all out today

After all, who can forget this episode?
John O. Brennan, the C.I.A. director under President Barack Obama, struck back at President Trump on Thursday for revoking his security clearance, calling the president’s claims of “no collusion” with Russia to influence the 2016 election “hogwash” and arguing that the commander in chief was trying to silence anyone who would dare challenge him.
So given Brennan is now openly and literally calling for an illegal overthrow of the sitting president of the United States, Trump now appears fully vindicated in having revoked his security clearance in the first place.

How did a guy who voted for the communist party wind up in charge of the CIA? Why is it that no one in the media has ever asked that question?
Would you trust that face?
ask Allen Dulles. OPERATION PAPERCLIP
If you ripped all of the communists out of the US government, DC would be a ghost town overnight.
NO, HELL NO!
Brennan is also a converted Muslim.
Back in the day the people who had security clearances were supposed to admit and disavow political sympathies or memberships with organizations advocating violent overthrow of the US government. I suppose that’s gone by the wayside over the last generation. Zero accountability and no oversight also explains why the intel agencies have turned into moral cesspools over the years. Once the snakes become influential lifers they open the hiring doors for people much like themselves.
^ This. Voting for the communist in 1976 could be considered a joke – like voting for Mickey Mouse. Converting to Islam is a horse of a different color. I’m convinced that Brennan 1) scrubbed Obama’s college travel records 2) was involved in Obama’s fake birth certificates 3) helped blackmail John Roberts on Obamacare and 4) dreamed up the plot to spy on Trump starting with FISA warrants and the “two hop” methodology. For God’s sake, he ADMITTED spying on the US Senate. Oops. Besides, like HSF said – just LOOK at the fucker!
That face is consumed with malice and hate, subtlety tinged with fear, the fear that The Big Wheel is turning, and looks to be coming round.
same way a guy who in a 2003 interview with new york magazine said “I voted for Reagan—I’d moved from Communist to whatever I am now. I’m not even sure how to characterize myself politically. Maybe at some point, I’ll have to figure it out.” somehow winds up in charge of the FBI.
that guy, was james comey.

Does anyone in this country give a damn about the treason that has been committed by hundreds if not thousands of communists in this country?
These people are worried because the things they did had ZERO to do with the actual safety and security of American Citizens and everything to do with spying on us, spying on allies, meddling in other countries elections, lying about WMDs, meddling in our elections, and spying on an incoming administration.
Not to mention whatever else bullshit they cover up for Senators and Reps.
One of the most glaringly illegal things the CIA every did, in my opinion, which not only affected another country by this one as well, was importing cocaine and allowing it to be distributed to millions as the more addictive form of crack, all to fund a two-bit war in a two-bit country. Not to downplay the devastation in Nicaragua. Once again, the US had a hand in the lighting the fuse way back in WW2 as Somosza allowed the US to build a base…oh yeah, and a CIA training ground, in Nicaragua, to stage a coup to overthrow the elected president of Guatemala. What could possibly go wrong? Well we all pretty much know the rest. Decades of war. And of course, “no evidence the CIA imported drugs”. Yeah, so that’s the line in the sand for the CIA? Laughable.
The “war on drugs” was ramped up, jail sentences increased. This destroyed parts of entire cities. Lives gone either through the rabbit-hole of addiction, or jail. Entire generations of people lived with some or all of their family lost to addiction, gang violence, and jail.
No one paid the price. No one gave a shit.
Brennan is an evil mother fucker without a whit of conscience and yet he tries to take some kind of moral high ground. He is no better than his predecessor.
The CIA, to this day has an estimated annual gross haul of $1 Billion in heroin profits. I wonder how much above his income is Brennan’s lifestyle?
Thanks all you MFers in the CIA for the hundreds of thousands of lives you’ve destroyed here in the US and abroad!
The War on Drugs is a massive, phenomenally, unbelievably lucrative war. Look at all the big banks and the money laundering. The Bank of International Settlements is primarily a huge drug money laundering operation.
Look at how all the spook agencies fund themselves, think those Afghani poppies aren’t worth Marines dying for? Then hearken to Mena Arkansas and Billy and Hillary and two dead teenagers on a railroad track. Continue on and look at McCrystal, the ‘general’ and disappeared folk, including Boston Brakes victim Michael Hastings.
The drug trade essentially started here in the good ol’ USSA with CIAda during the Korean war with the Golden Triangle and Chiang Kai-shek. (It really got started with the East India company but that is a story for another time.) Viet Nam was more of the same, ditto Iran-Contra.
Mike Ruppert was exposing it but he got into the oil far more than the drugs. He went against the CIA, exposing them as THE druglords uber alles and almost died at their loving hand.
Brennan, Clapper and all the federal spook and police agencies are beyond corrupt. The Feeb was started by a queer cross-dressing paranoid and the OSS et al were arms of Mossad and MI6 from the get go.
The only thing that amazes me anymore is realizing just how pervasive and deep the corruption in the Federal Government goes. If it weren’t for corruption those agencies wouldn’t exist, they are nothing BUT corruption from top to bottom. Integrity is non-existent in the government today and the fossils who have fed at the federal trough for decades continue to do so while covering up for their masters. This is what the Biden ‘election’ is all about. The media are all part of the government and the Deep State IS the government. Without the Deep State there IS no US government.
I would be fine with that. Legalize it all and defang the snake.
He is squealing about Esper, he knows what it means. I made a note to listen for the squealing, which hogs and level of pitch.
Must be significant.
That’s really too bad Trump had 4 years to do something about the swamp scumbags like Brennan but chose not to. FOUR FUCKING YEARS!
Being blind is one thing…..choosing not to see is another thing altogether.
Just Sayin’
Hey TC, name one, just one president “you” can remember that was dog piled like President Trump. Not only that, name one other president that accomplished what he has while under this constant on going dog piling.
Trump, his family, and associates will be harassed mercilessly as long as they move in circles of influence. Once DJT put himself out there as a populist figure head for US nationalism he made himself a target.
The provocations and attacks will not end once he leaves the White House. What the vindictive Swamp has done to Trump pushed me past personal dislike because Trump drives them absolutely insane.
Driving them nuts works for now and they don’t know when to stop.
TC, like most of the Trump bashers here are disinfo. Note that they never bash Obama or Biden, only Trump. Doesn’t matter the topic either, could be talking about baby ducks and somehow they will work a negative and anti-Trump comment into the commentary. They are controlled opposition.
I’ve been commenting here for over 10 years. Go back and look at what I said about Obama and Biden. You’re intellectually lazy and don’t want to face reality that Trump is a Zionist puppet scumbag just like all his predecessors.
One could make a decent argument that Obama was not a Zionist, that the Jews are split, and its the Bolsheviks vs. the Zionist, and it’s not intellectually lazy to entertain such possibilities.
In fact it might be laziness to assume one has the Truth in such matters as much is hidden, even from those in the know.
otto,
i’d bet that jonathan pollard would consider obama a zionist–
And his(?) plays in Syria equaled Zio smiles, but what of Iran, that did not look like Zio happiness to me. Or Egypt for that matter.
Yes, all zionist puppet scumbags have elections stolen from them by other zionist scumbags…
I certainly can’t remember any president constantly crying about being treated unfairly in DC like this guy, that’s for sure. Bush Jr. had a pretty hostile environment his last year in office and at least had the stones to tell the Democrats to pound sand when they sent him a shitty kitchen sink budget. Trump added more debt in the last year than father and son Bush team did combined, but so called “Conservatives” cheer on this clown like barking seals.
TC you need to quit incessantly bitching about Trump and work real hard to cement Biden into office. Seems that’s what you want anyways. Biden is the guy for you, that’s real apparent from your posts. Never one bad word about Biden, only Trump. You should be rejoicing at the prospect of Kamala and Joe taking over from bad man Trump. Extoll their virtues, the Trump bashing has become old, monotonous and repetitive.
HEY. T4C!
Does Mygirl have your number, or what?!!
TRUST SESSIONS!!
It’s like Bill Hicks said – once you get elected president, they bring you down to the basement and show you the JFK assassination from an angle never seen before and then say “any questions?”. I never thought Trump would live past April 2017. He may have done all the Swamp draining he thought he could do without getting rubbed out. And Pence sure as shit wouldn’t have upset the apple cart.
Have any of these Richard Cranium’s even read the 25th Amendment? POTUS clearly has the right to negate the VP/cabinet allegations and if he does it twice, it goes to the House and Senate, requiring 2/3 majorities in each chamber to remove him.
Brennan knows the penalty for treason is death and it scares him that the truth might finally come out about his participation in the coup d’etat. Gitmo is too good for him.
How desperate is it for him to be calling on the 25th after Trump just lost the election and is out in a few weeks.
Hmmm, something doesn’t add up, wouldn’t it take longer to use the 25th?
Maybe he knows something most don’t.
Great point?
Nothing like having criminals trying to tell You how to do things. Especially when they are afraid of going to prison.
Judge Joe Brown:
” “…Well, there are pictures of Bush with his arm around eight-year-old Barack Obama because his step-daddy —adopted daddy, Lolo Soetoro— had done a lifetime worth of business with the Bush’s. Ah, Uncle George Herbert Walker, after whom George Herbert Walker Bush, Bush One President was named, founded Halliburton in 1946 in Oklahoma. And Lolo Soetoro had been international executive Vice President for Standard Oil,”’Brown said.
“There was talk of him [Soetoro] being a CIA asset,” Scoon interjected.
“Well yes, you see, he [Soetoro] ran the death squads for the Indonesian Army. On his own call anyone could be assassinated.
“So when George Herbert Walker Bush became head of the CIA under the Ford Administration, he just got with his old buddy in the oil business —Lolo Soetoro— and pulled off the hits.
“See, uh, Barack’s grandmother has been acknowledged as being the woman that operated the channels through which CIA money went to the Southwest Pacific,” said Brown.
Brown’s assertion was corroborated by Juan O’Savin, a QAnon researcher. O’Savin said during an interview that was posted on YouTube on July 28, 2019 (see source 5) that Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines was a CIA asset. Obama’s grandmother handled Marcos’ finances in the U.S. when the Filipino President was ousted.
Judge Brown continued. “So she introduced her daughter, who had just had Barry/Barack, to Lolo Soetoro and they got married and Lolo Soetoro adopted Barack Obama. The name was changed to Barry Soetoro.
“Now when he [Barry Soetoro] went to high school [Punahou School, known as Oahu College until 1934] in Hawaii. I know about that high school. I almost sent my oldest son to it. I could afford it, but I didn’t think that he deserved it. Twenty years ago the tuition was $95,000 a year, not including room and board. When Obama went there —I’ve talked to two of his classmates— they independently state that the tuition, not including room and board, was $45,000.
“Now Business Insider reports his [Barack Obama] income for 2017 at over $200 million net. That’s after taxes, deductions [and] right-offs. For this last year, 2018, they reported it as 570-plus million dollars, and that’s after all of deductions, tax right…
“…Trump doesn’t make that net. I mean, even some of the richest people in America don’t make that, why? Because when his [Barack Obama] step-daddy died he was one of the ten/15 richest men on earth, and he left everything in a trust fund, operated out of Indonesia so the American government can’t touch it.
“This makes Barack Obama one-third beneficiary for the assets of one of the ten/15 richest men on earth.
“You see so —we got a game run on us,” Brown said.
“So, you know that little thing that Bush W. does when he gets with Michelle, they giggle, and he gives her candy? The inside thing is that’s supposed to be the same kind of candy he used to give her husband when he was six, seven, eight years old.”
I was raised in the town where Earl Halliburton started Halliburton Oil Well Cementing Company, so it was Not HW!
tn
don’t eff up a good rumor–
how do we know that you’re not an asset of ?,put in place to deflect the truth?
come on man–
Red – I forgot to mention that HOWCO was formed 5 years before HW was born.
If this is the same Judge Joe Brown that is from Memphrica, he is so full of BS that his eyes are brown, skin too.
Declassify Everything is a GREEEEAT idea!
Watching libfuks in panic mode on teevee … hopefully, we get to see lots of crying and terror …. oh, what joy I would feel.
Trump should declassify the nuke-codes also. That way we can nuke D.C. and other shithole libfuk enclaves.
Where’s the video clip of that CNN interview?!
Why would we take the advice about palace coups from a man who failed in his own palace coup? I wouldn’t take his advice on what tie to wear.
