Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani on Monday appeared to try to taunt former CIA Director John Brennan into filing a lawsuit over his revoked security clearance.

On Sunday, Brennan affirmed that he was considering legal action following Trump’s revocation of his security clearance, in order to prevent similar action being taken against other former intelligence and national security officials critical of the President, or even current officials like the Justice Department’s Bruce Ohr.

Trump appears to have embraced Brennan as a foil, tweeting Monday, “I hope John Brennan, the worst CIA Director in our country’s history, brings a lawsuit.”

    Let me off the train. This is officially too surreal.

    (appreciate the congrats to Rudy for using the correct your/you’re)

  4. The president* and his lawyer continue to exhibit their well known attachment to discretion and decorum.

  5. These are the same clowns that had a meltdown that Obama wore a brown suit. Once. On Vacation. In Hawaii.
