Brennan on Comey’s Alleged Threats to Trump: There’s No Reason for a Dir. Of Nat’l Intelligence to Comment on This Matter

EXCERPT:

BRENNAN: “Well, it’s unsurprising that someone like Tulsi Gabbard would say something like that. But there’s absolutely no basis or reason for a director of national intelligence to comment at all on this matter, much less say that a former director of the FBI should be in prison. I know Jim Comey worked very closely with him, didn’t always agree with some of the decisions he made, but I think he has unimpeachable integrity from the standpoint of his commitment to the rule of law. There’s absolutely no way that Jim Comey would have been advocating any type of violence against the president of the United States, much less anyone. And it’s very unfortunate that we are in an era right now where individuals seize upon something like this and just fuel the fires. As you pointed out, the term 86, you know, is used in the restaurant context and has been put on, you know, T-shirts against previous presidents.”
