RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
ALEMANY: “I realize it’s a bit unusual to ask you about the potential case being built against you inside the administration, but I do want to ask about Washington Post reporting that came out this week that the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, revoked security clearances of current and former officials who could be called as potential witnesses in the case, according to two senior administration officials. Some of these people targeted by gabbard worked in the Obama Obama Administration at the same time as you did, and could possibly be called as witnesses in the government’s probe. But these potential witnesses have been labeled by the director of national intelligence as unreliable and traitorous, which will complicate efforts by prosecutors to build a case against you. What is your reaction?”

BRENNAN: “It was absolutely appalling that she revoked the security clearances of those 37 individuals, some of whom were still in government, and there was no basis whatsoever to do that. Now, the story that says that because of her revocation, it really undermines the case against me. You know, there’s I don’t see any case against me. I have looked back on all of my actions and decisions. And with John Durham, the special counsel and others that have looked at what we did there was certainly consistent with our legal authorities and with the law. So I don’t know what you know they’re referring to there. Individuals who used to work in the government, even if their security clearances were revoked, they could be subpoenaed. They could be called to to provide testimony in support of whatever allegations they have. I just I don’t see a case there.”

DANIELS: “You know who else looked into it?”
