someone who s currently a government employee versus someone and as robert points out, there s a principle of cause that s always been honored. you don t go willy nilly yanking it for political reasons. one concern that the president should be having is he s somewhat adding to the atmospherics of his attempts to do obstruction in public. that s something that when the special counsel is looking at the twitter activity involves that notion of whether he can obstruct justice by doing things publicly to give himself cover that way. it will be a novel theory. i don t think many prosecutors would want to pursue it, but this type of thing adds fuel to that fire. john brennan, he s not at all backing down. in fact, if anything, he s kind of digging in his heels, threatening potential, you know, filing a case. but he also said that trump s press conference with vladimir putin in helsinki, he called that treasonous. this is how he put it today.
