THE TREASON TRAIN HAS LEFT THE STATION
Former CIA Director John Brennan is writing a memoir slated for release in 2020 that will detail his 30 years as an intelligence official under Republican and Democratic presidents, The Associated Press reported on Wednesday.
A division of Macmillan Publishers, Celadon Books, told the AP that it has acquired Brennan's untitled book, which includes sections about his time as CIA director between 2013-2017. The publisher did not disclose the financial terms for Brennan’s memoir.
"For many years, John Brennan has been a witness to, and participant in, key moments in recent American history, including such pivotal events as the first Gulf war, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Arab Spring, the hunt for Bin Laden, and Russia’s aggressive efforts to undermine U.S. national security,” Celadon president and publisher Jamie Raab said in a statement to the AP.
Raab added that the memoir will provide "candid accounts" of these moments, as well as the lessons Brennan learned at the time.
President Trump in August revoked Brennan's security clearance in a move widely seen as a punitive measure to punish one of his administration's most vocal critics. Brennan has been speaking out sharply against Trump since 2017, calling out the president amid some of his administration's highest-profile controversies.
Brennan has called Trump a "charlatan" and said he would become "a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history," among many other insults.
The former CIA earlier this week said Trump's attacks against special counsel Robert Mueller emerge from “feelings of inferiority, insecurity, vulnerability, and culpability."

President Trump on Wednesday morning shared an image calling for his opponents to face trial for "treason," with many of them behind bars,
The image, which the president retweeted from a pro-Trump Twitter account, depicts a host of figures Trump has criticized, including former President Barack Obama, former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, special counsel Robert Mueller, former FBI Director James Comey, and former President Clinton.
"Now that Russia collusion is a proven lie, when do the trials for treason begin?" the caption on the photo reads.

Several of the figures in the image were targeted with mailed explosives allegedly from a Trump supporter last month.
The retweet comes as reports emerge that Mueller's team is working on their final report about its investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Trump on Monday lashed out at Mueller as a "conflicted prosecutor gone rogue," following a new filing from the special counsel that claims Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, violated a plea agreement by lying to federal prosecutors.
In a series of tweets, Trump accused Mueller of causing "tremendous" damage to the nation's criminal justice system and “only looking at one side” in his investigation.
