President Trump has revoked the security clearance for former CIA director John Brennan, the White House announced Wednesday, in the first decision to come from a review of access for several top Obama-era intelligence and law enforcement officials.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders read a statement on behalf of the president during the start of the press briefing, saying Brennan “has a history that calls his credibility into question.”

The statement also said that Brennan had been "leveraging" the clearance to make "wild outbursts" and claims against the Trump administration.

“The president has a constitutional responsibility to protect classified information and who has access to it, and that’s what he’s doing is fulfilling that responsibility in this action,” Sanders said Wednesday.

Last month, the White House said they were looking into the clearances for other former officials and Trump critics, including former FBI director James Comey; former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe; former director of national intelligence James Clapper; former national security adviser Susan Rice and former CIA director Michael Hayden (who also worked under President George W. Bush).

On Wednesday, Sanders added Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, former FBI agent Peter Strzok (who was fired from the bureau last week) and former FBI general counsel Lisa Page.

When I left the USAF, my security clearance was immediately revoked.  Why should these former government employees be able to maintain their clearances?

I'm sure mine will be revoked when I retire as well.


But the folks like Brennan and Clapper et al seem to think it's granted to them on a permanent status.

Good.  I heard Brennan do an unscripted interview once, it was a non-hostile host trying to make him look good, and he still sounded like A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DUMBASS, though he did successfully convey that he was a vicious, vindictive, and rigidly doctrinaire little shit who got where he was by stabbing his way to the top, not by his brilliance at intelligence work.

And as far as I'm concerned Brennan, Clapper, and that cue-ball headed general that used to run NSA can all FOAD, all three have demonstrated a total contempt for Constitutional limits on domestic surveillance and had no problem lying about it to those who were supposed to be the adult supervision over them.

The Author of the article is a carpetbagger from the Radical New Republic!



Obama should fire John Brennan

Quote
In March, at the Council on Foreign Relations, CIA Director John Brennan was asked by NBC’s Andrea Mitchell whether the CIA had illegally accessed Senate Intelligence Committee staff computers “to thwart an investigation by the committee into” the agency’s past interrogation techniques. The accusation had been made earlier that day by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who said the CIA had “violated the separation-of-powers principles embodied in the United States Constitution.” Brennan answered:

As far as the allegations of, you know, CIA hacking into, you know, Senate computers, nothing could be further from the truth. I mean, we wouldn’t do that. I mean, that’s — that’s just beyond the — you know, the scope of reason in terms of what we would do. {…}

And, you know, when the facts come out on this, I think a lot of people who are claiming that there has been this tremendous sort of spying and monitoring and hacking will be proved wrong.


(You can see the video of Brennan’s answer here.)

Now we know that the truth was far different. The Post’s Greg Miller reports:

James Clapper is a complete moron -- even his name reminds me of a clod of brass hitting the inside of a bell.

I'm reminded of this interview with Diane Sawyer:

A fawning, asskissing creep. I'm sure Barry was pleased to have Brennan's nose buried completely up his ass.

Mt security clearance was yanked years ago because I no longer had a need to know and I was going back to the states. Even thirty years later there are some things I can't say about what i did while there because it would still affect security on bases around the world and if I did I'd be in a  jail house in a very short time and not on MSNBC.

I would think once a person no longer works for the government, their security clearance would be revoked.

As would most reasonable people, but here we are dealing with Leftists so the outcry "Impeach!" will continue.
