Trump pulls security clearance of ex-CIA director Brennan

To most who have a moral compass, this was a no brainer. The only question is why it didn't happen long ago. If anything Trump sat on this too long but given the fact how unhinged the left becomes, it's easy to see why. They really are nut jobs with zero integrity. I'm sure in their convoluted screwed up brains most think this guy has done nothing wrong. All of them on the left involved in the FISA debacle and Hillary Clinton cover up should have lost their security clearances after Obama administration ended and certainly after being fired.

 

Scum!

When Brennan was CIA Director, his agency presented unnecessary NDAs to Benghazi survivors -- at a memorial service for their fallen comrades. An ugly attempt to silence them.

Trump finally smacks down Deep State traitors

President Trump finally yanked the security clearance for Communist John Brennan, who spied on senators, lied about it, and is now trying to topple our duly elected government.

The Fake News media is in an uproar because they lost a Leaker.

Guess what? Others who tried to overturn the last election also may lose their clearance.

"After Brennan, 9 Others Face Losing Security Clearances, Too," the Washington Post reported.

The list included James Crapper, James Comey, Michael Hayden, Sally Yates, Susan Rice, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and Bruce Ohr.

They are not critics.

They are saboteurs.

Barack Obama allowed them to use government resources to sabotage the Trump presidency because Obama wants to punish Americans for rebuffing his demand that they elect his surrogate, Hillary.

The Democrat Party denied the American people a peaceful transition of power, instead Democrats wanted chaos and division.

Obama poisoned the goodwill between the two parties that was built up slowly over the 150 years since the end of a civil war initiated by Democrats who refused to accept Lincoln as their president.

Gee...I'm seeing a PATTERN HERE.....

 

Let the leaks begin.

 

Lol. Got to love it when people post idiotic blog entries as though they were remotely credible sources of information. Now for some real news:

Trump gears up to strip more clearances from officials tied to Russia investigation

President Trump has told advisers that he is eager to strip more security clearances as part of an escalating attack against people who have criticized him or played a role in the investigation of alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign, two White House officials said.

Over the past 19 months, Trump has fired or threatened to take action against nearly a dozen current and former officials associated with the inquiry, which he has labeled a “rigged witch hunt,” including former FBI director James B. Comey, former deputy attorney general Sally Yates and former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe. All three were dismissed.

Trump intensified his attacks this week by stripping former CIA director John Brennan of his security clearance and announcing that others are under review. Brennan and former director of national intelligence James R. Clapper Jr., who is on Trump’s review list, were among the Obama administration officials who briefed Trump before his inauguration on evidence of Russia’s interference in the campaign.

The president has repeatedly urged Attorney General Jeff Sessions and other officials to end the investigation led by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, who is examining potential collusion between Moscow and the Trump campaign and whether the president has sought to obstruct justice.

To critics, Trump’s moves echo President Richard Nixon’s decision to force the abrupt firing of Watergate special counsel Archibald Cox.

“If you did all this in one day, it would have a ‘Saturday night massacre’ odor to it,” said Benjamin Wittes, a Brookings Institution fellow who oversees the Lawfare Blog on national security issues, referring to the 1973 move by Nixon that prompted resignations by the Justice Department’s top two officials. “But you spread it out and get people used to the first one, then you do the second one — over a long period of time, it becomes the new normal.”

Many of Brennan’s former colleagues have rallied to his defense.

“I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency,” retired Navy Adm. William H. McRaven, who oversaw the 2011 Special Forces raid that killed Osama bin Laden, wrote in an op-ed for The Washington Post. “If you think for a moment that your McCarthy-era tactics will suppress the voices of criticism, you are sadly mistaken.”

Late Thursday night, a group of 11 former CIA directors and a former Director of National Intelligence issued a joint statement calling Trump’s move against Brennan “an attempt to stifle free speech.”

Inside the West Wing, Trump is eager to move against others on the security clearance review list and could act soon, according to the White House officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

Trump believes he has emerged looking strong and decisive in his escalating feud with Brennan, the aides said, adding that he shows a visceral disdain for the former CIA director when he sees him on TV.

But other aides would prefer a more thorough process or that he drop the matter altogether, and they are scrambling to review the list of people Trump says he’d like to strip of clearances. These officials said Trump did not focus on his power to remove clearances until this summer.

Still, as the Russia investigation tightens around the president — Mueller is pressing Trump’s legal team over a potential interview with him — the president remains impulsive and unpredictable, aides said.

“The process is essentially meaningless,” one White House aide said. “If Trump wants to do it, he’ll just do it.”

Gotta love it when folks post from Fake News folks and act like their sources are superior. Have you noticed that every time you turn around that Trump is kicking your ass?

DO TELL: “Mr. Brennan was director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 2013 to 2017… Coincidentally, immediately after his boss, Mr. Obama, gained more… ‘flexibility’.”

 

I post real news and sheepish Trump devotees call it fake. Not my prob, Bob.

 

I believe that you will find that the "big dummy" (hardly that) will continue to have plenty to say about Trump, as will many other "big dummies". What's next? Looking at tax returns, etc.? Trump, as in a banana republic, is trying to squelch criticism by denigration.
He will now assign a silly name to Brennan, yes? If Trump keeps this up, he will not have the benefit of some very experienced people
for intelligence officials to discuss tactics with. He doesn't listen anyway, because he "knows more than the generals."

 

Who is the president now? Who was warned about Russian interference when the baton was passed? Which congress refused to endorse action against Russia?
Who has insisted that Russian meddling is a hoax in spite of intelligence advice to the contrary? Who is sidling up to a thug and murderer and why??

 

If it was John Brennan doing the leaking (and that is bullsht), it is the press that reports the information. Are they supposed to keep the news quiet like Trump wants? But Trump calls it "fake news" anyway. If it is fake, why does he react the way he does? Curious, yes?

 

Brutal. But telling....let's see what the puzzle pieces tell us:




More "AMAZING COINICIDENCES" in the Obama Swamp....looks like quite a few more SECURITY CLEARANCES NEED TO BE RESCINDED...

 

I believe it is ludicrous that anybody can maintain their security clearance after leaving their government post and being hired in the private sector.

I even understand why it is allowed, that would be a nice asset to have on ones resume, especially when working in media.

Replying to @davereaboi
John Brennan was making sure his job was Secure by feeding the media classified information he knew he could get away with perjury and the media would cover for him doing things that would get an average CIA agent jail time

 

Really happened

 

Ex-CIA Chief Brennan's Security Clearance Should Have Been Revoked Long Ago

 

Geralyn Dossan, the Professional Againster? She is your expert? Gosh. Nonsense. Talk about "fake" news!

 

Obama’s Feckless Foreign Policy Emboldened Russia

TOP TAKEAWAYS

• Bloomberg 's Eli Lake: "It's no wonder Putin thought he could meddle in the U.S. He had gotten away with everything else he tried."
  • Leon Panetta: Perceived "weakness" encouraged Russia to interfere with the 2016 election.
  • Robert Gates: Putin felt he could take advantage of America under Obama.
• In 2009, President Barack Obama called for a "reset" in relations between the U.S. and Russia, but by the end of Obama's time in office, the Russia Reset was widely viewed as a failure.
  • The architect of the "reset" and U.S. Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, warned future administrations not to pursue a similar policy and former President Bill Clinton conceded the Russia "reset" did not have a major impact.
• Politico Magazine : "Today's liberal Russia hawks would have us believe that they've always been clear-sighted about Kremlin perfidy and mischief. They're displaying amnesia not just over a single law but the entire foreign policy record of the Obama administration. From the reset, which it announced in early 2009 just months after Russia invaded Georgia, to its removal of missile defense systems in the Czech Republic and Poland later that year, to its ignoring Russia's violations of the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (while simultaneously negotiating New START) and its ceding the ground in Syria to Russian military intervention, the Obama administration's Russia policy was one, protracted, eight-year-long concession to Moscow."
• President Obama bragged that after he confronted Putin over meddling in the 2016 election and told Putin to "cut it out … we did not see further tampering of the election process," but recent news reports show that a Russian troll farm persisted in its meddling even after.

Brennan's security clearance went "poof!"

 

The 20% thing has been proven false, made up by Trump. Obviously, Obama did not have Russian meddling under control, yes? Glad Trump is shoring up our voting process. Let's not forget that Trump said that he lost the popular vote because 3 million illegal votes were cast, and formed a "bipartisan" committee to investigate. Trump is full of ulterior motives and called Russian meddling a hoax, thus insinuating that our intelligence community got it wrong. Why is he sidling up to a murderer and thug? I wonder what Putin has on Trump. and Trump "knows more than the generals." Obama was not more flexible with Putin, so stop beating a dead horse.

 

Brilliant move by the vindictive Trump. Our democracy is also going "poof."

 

Frenetic hyperbole!

 

Also true. Our democracy is going "poof" under Trump.

 

But it was fine while Obama had Brennan and the rest of his vile scum illegally spying on Americans?
