    Dare criticize the church of trumps deity and the members will defend and attack. Doesn't matter how decorated, accomplished, or (formerly) respected the criticizing person is.

    You have no freaking idea how security clearances work, do you? And yet here you are spouting off just like the BS you are shoveling is fact. How do you do that?

    Not a spy. Just another military person entering into politics. And perhaps one of obama's boys. He isn't bothered by Brennan spying on his own oversight committee. So his words are meaningless, and purely politically driven.

    What Brennan is doing in MSM is where the wrongness resides. Putin is applauding him, and that is the irony and stupidity of Brennan If Putin wants to create disorder within our system, both this commander and former CIA head are helping him, tremendously.

    Fun stuff here. Obviously, not the case for my comment. So, instead of actually addressing the comment, do a 180 and run for the safety of comfortable dogma.. This isn't a unique thing, we saw the same from the left as the viciously attacked then commanding general Patreus. Betray us ring a bell? Dare to tell truth to then the O? Your assertion is as laughable as it is hypocritical.

    Oh I agree and it was disgusting then too. And my assertion is easily demonstrable. Just hang out here for a few days.

    As per #24 ... that's one disjointed rant there ... I'm impressed! But the gist being oversight being a prioriy, we agree upon. Now, as per the topic of security clearances: https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018...cia-director-and-other-high-ranking-officials

    Political direction should determine whether a soldier is trustworthy or not.

    Like you, I advocate a return to McCartism in the army.

    He plead guilty of unauthorized removal and retention of classified information.

    Don't you remember?

    And it's Petraeus, not Patreus.

    Just in case you want to improve the quality of your argument.

    I think Trump just ignores him which makes him even more mad. People as high up as he is hate to be ignored, it makes them feel small and worthless. Trump will ignore him as he has a great set of Generals to lead our military and a Secretary of Defense that is second to none.

    Nobody cared about who kept their security clearances until Trump got his feelings hurt -- just let that marinate a bit before you try to make this into some national concern -- it wasn't a concern until Trump got the sads

    So the Washington Post is open to all opinions.

    I can't believe Trump spits regularly on this paper.

    Thank you for sharing it.

    Admiral McRaven is politically grandstanding and the very first line of the WaPo opinion piece sets the tone..
    "Former CIA director John Brennan, whose security clearance you revoked on Wednesday, is one of the finest public servants I have ever known".
    It identifies itself from the start as an unbelievably partisan bit of idiocy and McRaven himself as another hypocritical swamp creature.

    Brennan is a crackpot and a liar and his contributions obtaining and promoting the smear job of the Steele dossier mark him in particular
    as a seditionist.
    Here is another more reasonable WaPo editorial about John Brennan and why he should be dumped into history's trash can.
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/blog...uld-fire-john-brennan/?utm_term=.6df29eaf9c07

    Is Brennan an American Patriot? Not in a thousand years.

    A better question that needs to be asked is why does a fmr. 4 star Speical Ops. Admiral still have a security clearance? Last time I looked, he was head of the Univ. of Texas. Not some national security think tank, or defense contractor.

    If you no longer work for the government you should not have a clearance. Period. I don’t care who you are. Even former presidents.

    Ah, the grammar police. Thanks for your advice. Mistyping is such a crime, for sure. I would point out that the betray us moniker wasn't tied to his misuse of classified info, but don't let actual history get in the way of your own self amusement. So, perhaps you could take your own advice, you know, about "improving the quality of your argument"....

    Wrong. If you worked in the intelligence community, especially as a government employee going to a contractor, you'd understand. (assuming you meant "shouldn't")
