Once again Trump's Ready, Fire, Aim strategy seems to have potentially backfired.
On second thought about the question of whether Brennan is likely to be a witness, well, after saying that there definitely was collusion it seems possible.
"The only questions that remain are whether the collusion that took place constituted criminally liable conspiracy, whether obstruction of justice occurred to cover up any collusion or conspiracy, and how many members of 'Trump Incorporated' attempted to defraud the government by laundering and concealing
the movement of money into their pockets," Brennan wrote.
The fact is there is a long litany of examples of collusion and conspiracy which are already part of the public record despite what Trumpatarian NDA'd Trolls are saying. There have also been some fairly significant criminal indictments and guilty pleas made. Rep. Adam Schiff has openly said "yes, there was plenty ofcollusion" so this isn't exclusive news
However, Brennan would have unique information from the CIA about this which hasn't yet been made public.Trump has been lying about evidence of his presidential campaign's collusion with Russia for so long that some journalists are beginning to believe it. But the House Intelligence Committee's ranking member, Adam Schiff (D-CA), totally destroyed that false narrative on Sunday.
On this weekend's edition of CBS News' "Face the Nation," host Margaret Brennan tried to get Schiff to agree to the lie that Trump has been telling for over a year now -- that there is "no evidence of collusion" between his campaign and Russia.
"Can you agree that there has been no evidence of collusion, coordination, or conspiracy that has been presented thus far between the Trump campaign and Russia?" Brennan asked Schiff.
"No, I don't agree with that at all," Schiff replied. "I think there's plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy in plain sight."
Schiff added that he doesn't mean a court has found "proof beyond a reasonable doubt of a criminal conspiracy." That burden of proof is up to special counsel Robert Mueller to establish, Schiff said.
If there are going to be Impeachment Hearings or a Senate Trial to remove Brennan's lack of a clearance would block crucial testimony they could receive, and once Trump has left office this could also be extremely relevant to any criminal conspiracy, money laundering and obstruction indictment and cases which may come up.
The same would be true for testimony from Yates, Comey, McCabe and Strzok.
