Top former intelligence bosses speak out in favor of John Brennan

I think i will believe the brigadier general over a disgrunteled hillary supporter. But thanks .

 

Can't you tell? It's the old boys network, they're backing up their own.

 

Well you can go back to when Truman put the Communist Demo Traitor Alger Hiss in the State Dept. But truthfully we really don't need to go that far back in time to understand whats up with the Demo Party.


Then there is the reality of todays day and age.

1) Brennan is a documented liar, slime, and communist voter.
2) He said Trump is guilty of treason, which results in the death penalty.
3) While in office, he disclosed we had a double agent working for us in Africa, endangering that person's life.
4) Clearance is a privilege, not a right.
5) He's abused that privilege.
6) Taking away this privilege does not violate his first amendment rights to speak out.

Anyone who doesn't understand this is utterly clueless.

 

So this is a sob letter. Boo hoo. My position is that no one who leaves government should have any clearance. It's a security vulnerability. Imagine if an Al-qaeda terrorist were to capture one of our 'retired' officials who cry here, and to save their families they had to give access to a secret code to let's say a plant with a nuclear or chemical weapon.

Oops.

Clearances should never be forever, only as long as the term requires.

 

I'm surprised he ever got clearance if he was once a card carrying communist

 

I refer you to the part of my post that you obviously ignored:
"That punishment may have a chilling effect on others."

 

No previous president acted the way President Small Hands did in Helsinki.

 

'Unprecedented:' Why John Brennan's Extraordinary Partisanship Justifies Revoking His Security Clearance.....

President Trump's decision to strip former CIA Director John Brennan of his security clearance, announced yesterday, clearly lies within the president's authority. But was it the right thing to do? Officially, the White House says the move comes as a result of Brennan's 'erratic' behavior and history of dishonesty. Here's a portion of President Trump's statement on the matter -- which was originally dated late July, stirring speculation that the administration tactically released it yesterday to deflect from other news cycle items:


First, at this point in my Administration, any benefits that senior officials might glean from consultations with Mr. Brennan are now outweighed by the risks posed by his erratic conduct and behavior. Second, that conduct and behavior has tested and far exceeded the limits of any professional courtesy that may have been due to him. Mr. Brennan has a history that calls into question his objectivity and credibility.


More than a few people snarked that it's quite rich to see Donald Trump, of all people, warning that someone exhibiting "erratic conduct and behavior" shouldn't have access to classified materials. But Trump is the legitimately-elected President of the United States, accountable to the people. Figures like Brennan are accountable to elected civilian leadership. As for the alleged "history that calls into question [Brennan's] objectivity and credibility," Trump has a point. Several, actually. A few months back, Victor Davis Hanson ran through a number of Brennan's most serious credibility-destroying misadventures:


Brennan has chosen to become an unrestrained, untethered partisan combatant. It's therefore hardly out of bounds to cease affording him certain traditional courtesies in response -- especially if there's any reasonable suspicion that he'd be willing to weaponize intelligence in furtherance of his undisguised political agenda (see bullet point three from VDH's piece above). That said, it's worth pointing out that maintaining former officials' clearances doesn't grant access to new intelligence, and typically is used to tap into an official's specialized knowledge from previous operations without violating the law. In other words, stripping Brennan's clearance is mostly symbolic and could potentially hamper future intelligence efforts. The White House acknowledged this trade-off in Trump's statement, concluding that the upsides of taking this step based on Brennan's conduct 'outweigh' possible drawbacks. …..snip~

Brennan should have never joined in with the Resistance.

 

Yet none have taken Brennans Free Speech from him. Nor none in Trumps administration would go to Brennan for any advice.

 

The premise and conclusion is weak, even a non sequitur here.....you need to research exactly what is available to the ex-employee with renewed clearances and what they are actually used for.

 

What way did Trump act in Helsinki that no previous President did?

 

He’s called for Trump to be executed; that’s the penalty for treason and he’s said repeatedly Trump is guilty of treason.

His first amendment rights do not depend on him having a security clearance. The clown is on every network. He’s not being silenced.

Liberals are exposing their mental disorder on this one.

The deep state is really pissed off about this.

 

Maybe he believes trump is guilty of treason, he's clearly more qualified to make that assertion than you are to defend it. You need to rethink your position on this. It's a very bad thing if we allow our representatives to attempt to silence opposition by punitive measures.

 

There is no silencing involved. Brennan can get his own show on MSNBC. He can call Trump a racist and treasonous every evening in prime time. And there’s nothing preventing him from going to Central Park in NYC and screaming “Trump sucks!” At the top of his lungs.

This is not a first amendment issue.

 

fyi, flynn still has his security clearance.

 

swamp rats defending swamp rats...you dont say.

 

Slowly now...
The topic of this thread is that Brennan is being punished for speaking out about trump. Do you agree with that statement or not?

 

what evidence do you have turkey supports isis.

 

John Brennan: A Security Risk from the Start

 

Libs are driven by nothing but raw hate

 

He never should have been in the CIA

 

We are seeing a level of dumb now that no one thought was possible. If CNN was smart they would broadcast their sky criers. Id watch that all day.

 

mike flynn, working with foreign govts and lying about it.

 

I believe Brennan is unhinged and has gone well beyond providing the standard “loyal
opposition”.

Like having a driver’s license, A security clearance is a privilege and not a right. When the privilege has been abused, it needs to be taken away.

Trump took away the privilege for many reasons. It was partially due to Brennan’s crazy rants about Trump. Perhaps if Brennan had more restraint and presented his complaints in a more civilized manner, this wouldn’t have happened.
