Ex-CIA Director Brennan To Trump: It'll Be 'Impossible' For You To 'Escape American Justice'
- 5 years ago
John Brennan took another jab at President Trump on Monday.
Former CIA Director John Brennan slammed President Trump on Monday after the president again tweeted there was no collusion, referencing special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russia's interference in the 2016 election.
"Whenever you send out such inane tweets, I take great solace in knowing that you realize how much trouble you are in & how impossible it will be for you to escape American justice," Brennan wrote in a tweet. "Mostly, I am relieved that you will never have the opportunity to run for public office again."
Earlier, Trump had posted a series of tweets reacting to the recent court filings relating to his former lawyer Michael Cohen and former campaign chairman Paul Manafort.
"'Democrats can't find a Smocking [sic] Gun tying the Trump campaign to Russia after James Comey's testimony. No Smocking [sic] Gun...No Collusion.' @FoxNews That's because there was NO COLLUSION," Trump wrote.
He continued: "So now the Dems go to a simple private transaction, wrongly call it a campaign contribution which it was not (but even if it was, it is only a CIVIL CASE, like Obama's - but it was done correctly by a lawyer and there would not even be a fine. Lawyer's liability if he made a mistake, not me). Cohen just trying to get his sentence reduced. WITCH HUNT!"
Brennan has been an outspoken critic of Trump.
In a June Washington Post op-ed, he said that the president "has shown highly abnormal behavior by lying routinely to the American people without compunction, intentionally fueling divisions in our country and actively working to degrade the imperfect but critical institutions that serve us."
