James Clapper Lawyers Up: Who's Next In The Deep State Domino Effect?

Written by Published

The recent revelations by Tulsi Gabbard have sent ripples through the political landscape, particularly concerning the alleged Russia collusion narrative.

The so-called "Deep State" appears to be on edge following these developments. James Clapper, in a conversation with CNN's Kaitlan Collins, disclosed that he has already secured legal representation. However, George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley suggests that Clapper may not be the most at-risk individual in this scenario.

As reported by Gateway Pundit, Turley, during an appearance on FOX News, expressed his belief that John Brennan, the former CIA Director, might be in a more precarious position. Turley stated, "It does appear a couple of these figures may have committed perjury. I think the most vulnerable may be Brennan, who is, like, a 30-point buck in the open."

This assertion follows the release of documents by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, which she described as evidence of a "years-long coup" against President Trump post-2016 election. Gabbard has referred these documents to the Justice Department for further investigation into potential criminal activities.

The Supreme Court's 2024 ruling, which upheld President Trump's claims of immunity concerning "official acts" during his presidency, offers protection to figures like Obama. However, Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey might not enjoy the same legal shield. Turley highlighted that the new documents could contradict information previously provided by Brennan to Congress, raising significant legal questions.

The unfolding situation suggests that Brennan might need to heed Turley's advice and seek legal counsel, much like his colleague Clapper. The Trump administration appears resolute in pursuing accountability, signaling a departure from previous approaches.
