John Brennan calls for Trump's removal while facing DOJ investigation over alleged lies to Congress
Former CIA Director John Brennan, already a target of a Justice Department investigation into whether he lied to Congress about the Steele dossier, went on cable television and called for President Donald Trump to be removed from office using the 25th Amendment.The remarks came during an appearance on MSNBC NOW with host Ali Velshi, as Fox News Digital reported.
Brennan, who served as CIA director under President Obama, told Velshi that the 25th Amendment "was written with Donald Trump in mind", a claim that would have surprised the amendment's actual authors, who ratified it in 1967. He then escalated his rhetoric further.
"Allowing someone like this to continue to be the commander in chief and to control the tremendous capabilities of the U.S. military, including our nuclear weapons capability, which he seemed to allude to when he said he's going to just eliminate a entire civilization."
That the former head of America's premier intelligence agency would push a constitutional mechanism for presidential removal, while under active criminal investigation by the very government he wants to intervene, tells you everything about how certain corners of the Washington establishment operate. The rules apply to everyone else.

The core question is not whether a former CIA director has the right to criticize a sitting president. Of course he does. The question is whether a man under active criminal investigation for allegedly lying to Congress about his role in a discredited intelligence operation has the standing to lecture anyone about fitness for office.
All these Democrat reprobates know what media outlets that will be receptive to their lying charges.
