EXCERPT:

WALLACE: "Well, a couple of things there. I thought the most interesting thing he said about John Brennan, as somebody mentioned. Some of the people who have been objecting said it violates his freedom of speech. He said he has a bigger platform. A lot of people who didn’t know who he was now know who he was and how much he liked having his voice out there. A lot of people have suggested that this President likes to create his foils. He has gone after Maxine Waters saying she is the leader of the Democratic Party. Now he is trying to appoint John Brennan as one of the leaders of the resistance. So he takes people that he thinks are a good contrast for him and tries to anoint them as the voice of the opposition. I thought it was interesting that he would admit that when it came to John Brennan. As far as Bruce Ohr is concerned and removing his security clearance, last time I checked the President could fire him who is just an official at the justice Department. I’m surprised he hasn’t done so. One could argue he has a legitimate reason to do so, given Bruce Ohr's involvement and his wife’s involvement. His wife was an employee of Fusion GPS, the company that hired Christopher Steele who wrote the dossier in the first place. I don’t know why he is fooling around with a security clearance if he thinks what he did was wrong. Why not fire him?"
