And Here We GO! John Brennan's Legal Team's Actions Just Signaled That He Could Be in Big BIG Trouble

In a plot twist straight out of the deep state's fever dreams, former CIA Director John Brennan's legal team looks to be gearing up for battle, anticipating an indictment in Florida and plotting to boot federal Judge Aileen Cannon from the bench.

Yeah, he's a jackwad, so you know his legal team isn't much better.

Just sayin'.

They're claiming Cannon's a 'fact witness' in the so-called conspiracy tied to the Mar-a-Lago raid—because nothing says 'impartial justice' like trying to disqualify a Trump-appointed judge who's already proven she's no fan of politicized witch hunts.

Somebody's nervous:

DEVELOPING: Expecting their client will be indicted in Fla., John Brennan's legal team is preparing a defense starting w/ a motion seeking the recusal of federal Judge Aileen Cannon, arguing she was a "fact witness" in an act in furtherance of the conspiracy--the Mar-a-Lago raid.

And he should be.

Horrible strategy, which he and his attorneys will discover when she’s reading the jury their instructions!

I am interested in what the charges might be. Seditious Conspiracy? Conspiracy against rights? Treason?

Stupid motion. Judge Cannon cannot be recused or disqualified on that basis. It’s just the kind of stuff you file when your client is guilty and you are trying to preserve every possible appeal point.
