Former CIA Director John Brennan tweeted Monday morning that it will be “impossible” for President Donald Trump to “escape” the U.S. justice system and suggested he will not run for re-election in 2020.

The longtime deep-stater’s claim comes as Democrats push the possibility of impeaching the president after prosecutors indicated last Friday that he directed illegal payments during the 2016 campaign.

Responding to President Donald Trump’s tweet about Michael Cohen, his former personal attorney accused of issuing the illegal payments, Brennan, a frequent critic of the president, wrote on Twitter: “Whenever you send out such inane tweets, I take great solace in knowing that you realize how much trouble you are in & how impossible it will be for you to escape American justice. Mostly, I am relieved that you will never have the opportunity to run for public office again.”

“That’s because there was NO COLLUSION,” the president tweeted. “So now the Dems go to a simple private transaction, wrongly call it a campaign contribution which it was not (but even if it was, it is only a CIVIL CASE, like Obama’s – but it was done correctly by a lawyer and there would not even be a fine.”

“… Lawyer’s liability if he made a mistake, not me). Cohen just trying to get his sentence reduced. WITCH HUNT!” he continued.
