1. John Brennan isn't the real victim

From Washington Post: "Democratic norms erode as the president uses his authority to bully critics."

2. Trump is picking on the wrong guy

From CNN: "In person, Brennan, who grew up in a devout Catholic working class family in New Jersey, is serious, even stern, not big on small talk and intolerant of BS."

3. Revoke my security clearance, too, Mr. President

From Washington Post: "I know John Brennan. He is a man of unparalleled integrity, honesty and character."
