EXCERPT:
BRENNAN: “Yeah, well, when I saw the reports about the slush fund, I was astounded by the height of hypocrisy, that individuals who were prosecuted appropriately and fairly for engaging in criminal activity, including for the assault against our nation’s Capitol, may be compensated or paid off by this taxpayer fund. And so, it’s just, it’s hard to imagine that they are going to be compensated for it while this Department of Justice, this administration, is engaged by any objective measure in a campaign of retribution against individuals who had the temerity to speak out and speak up against Donald Trump and his actions and policies. And so, again, the contrast couldn’t be starker. But it’s unsurprising also because, as we’ve talked many times before, the extent and depth of corruption and graft and grift in this administration, I think, knows no bounds. And so, clearly, this is what we are seeing the latest example of. And I think, you know, Donald Trump, with a very compliant acting attorney general, is going to continue to push the bounds here.”
