    Its neither petty or unfounded to point out that brennen is no loner in governent and therefore has no need to view classified information

    Brennan can rot in no clearance hell for all I care! He can file all the lawsuits he wants. He is a snake in a swamp of snakes! Drain that swamp!!

    I don't know... why don't you tell us? I'm guessing a lot less many of Trump's stupid actions have...

    I think brennen can get the info under the table through Deep State contacts

    But then he could be forced to reveal those contacts during a later investigation

    I'm sure the last thing Brennan wants to do is go to court over this, but if he has to, he will... As the OP states, he would be doing this to stop Trump from hitting the rest of his Political Hit list, although I'm not sure how that will work legally.

    Bottom line is that the only way to stop these transparently political moves is impeachment. That's the only court action I want to see..

    Trump is dirt.... which is an insult to dirt...

    I don't know either. But is seems that is the major point of a few posters. It's certainly not $1, but it's likely not $10 million.

    Since you bring it up, how much would you guess the "Resistance" and it's offensives and attacks in reaction to bitter loss have cost taxpayers?

    The point is, an appeal to emotion regarding cost to taxpayers is stupid.

    We both know the President has the authority to pull clearances. Obama followed the same course.

    Just another day in the dog whistle "got them by the nose" routing the media cashes in on by the hour.

    Given the integrity of the left's MSM partners, Brennan doesn't even need a human contact to reference. He can just make crap up and say something like "the information I've been able to gather suggests ___________".

    His new bosses would run with that in a millisecond. Sources are protected, after all, so they don't even need to exist.

    LOL.

    Be on the look out for objectivity, it's crucial when offering opinions, and without a relationship with it, renders all output impotent.

    Nobody (NOBODY) is questioning the authority, dude.... Just the motivation, which is clear as a mountain stream here (well, before Zinke became Sec Int anyway). I saw there was a thread about Obama cancelling some as well, but I guarantee you he had lock cases of some sort of clearance abuses, unlike here....

    Transparently.....political......move

    Yes

    In fact the lying lib news media does not even need brennen for that

    They can just make it up directly

    Having access is how he fills his rice bowl

    The president does have the authority to revoke clearances. It doesn't matter what Brennan "needs" to make a buck consulting. Furthermore, he seems to be doing fine trash talking on TV and has no need to look for a consulting gig that would likely pay him less for running his mouth. But I have no doubt that some court somewhere would attempt to strip the administration of its authority. So Brennan should spend his money on lawyers and in the end he will lose.

    Speaking of anecdotes, when I got out of the Navy and got a civilian job I had a valid TS clearance, but for some reason for civilian employment they needed a separate Secret clearance. While awaiting that, they brought me into a room and put me into a cubicle. Engineers on the other side of the cubicle wall were examining blueprints for the submarine class I had just left, and they were asking me questions about the blueprint I was not allowed to see. So I was sort of consulting but had no access to see the classified info. But I was allowed to divulge classified info to people who had the clearance & need to know.

    Let me sue, it isn't going anywhere. You're not entitled to a clearance.

    i never said the pres didnt have the power, in all industries, people are paid for consulting work, especially people like brennan who had advanced positions, and it is not petty like putting food on the table.

    brennan has every right to legally fight to get his clearance back.

    Brennan cashing in on his security clearance to harm the country is transparently political.

    He should have thought of that before putting wallet in front of country.

    It won't harm him in any way though. That's just click bait your media partners are profiting with from you.

    Like most of the "experts" the liberal media uses, Brennan will just make stuff up and his employers will use it to feed you with.

    he can consult, it is just he does not have access, and he still has a right to legally fight for it back.

    The fake news media understands they have been caught lying so frequently the public sentiment towards them is abysmal.

    Having someone like Brennan spread their propaganda for them helps to improve the perception they are actually reporting something of value.

    Brennan won't be hurt at all.

    Making a big deal out of the deserved revocation is just part of that revenue generating objective the left's media partners are singularly focused on.

    Given his past actions, he is persona non grata. He isn't going to be contracted for anything.
