Turley: Brennan Is The Most Vulnerable Person For Perjury Charges, Like A “30-Point Buck Now Out In The Open”
FOX News contributor and law professor Jonathan Turley weighed in on vulnerable members of the Obama administration’s intelligence community who politicized the Trump-Russia probe.
SANDRA SMITH, FOX NEWS: Before you go, Professor Turley, I want to go back to our conversation yesterday on Tulsi Gabbard. She showed up at the White House press briefing yesterday. She shook things up, citing this new declassified intel that shows the Obama administration was politicizing intelligence. Jason Chaffetz joined you and went off on this on America Reports yesterday. Listen. FORMER REP. JASON CHAFFETZ, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: Anytime I’ve ever heard of somebody lying to a court, the court takes care of itself. There’s there are repercussions to that. So when the when the government lies to the FISA court, where is Chief Justice Roberts on this? Where is the court? How come the court is not going back? I’m not an attorney. Jonathan Turley’s gonna have to take this. Why isn’t the court demanding that there are repercussions for those people that they bogusly signed these warrants? SMITH: And then we ran out of time and the show is over, so can we get your response, sir? Where is the court on this? JONATHAN TURLEY, GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY LAW PROFESSOR, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: Well, Jason has a very good point here, and he’s walked the walk. He’s been there in Congress and trying to get this information. And it does appear that a couple of these figures may have committed perjury. I think the the most vulnerable may be Brennan, who’s like a 30-point buck now out in the open. I mean, this stuff goes directly to information that he gave to Congress. It seems to be in contradiction. And so there are real questions here. I mean, people talk about, well, you can’t charge Obama. That’s very likely the case. He’s probably protected. But these individuals, whether it’s Comey or Brennan, are not protected from perjury charges if the statute of limitations has not run. They are more likely to be called again to repeat prior testimony.
