A top deputy to National Security Adviser Michael Flynn was rejected for a critical security clearance, effectively ending his tenure on the National Security Council and escalating tensions between Flynn and the intelligence community.
The move came as Flynn’s already tense relationships with others in the Trump administration and the intelligence community were growing more fraught after reports that Flynn had breached diplomatic protocols in his conversations with the Russian ambassador to the United States.
On Friday, one of Flynn’s closest deputies on the National Security Council, senior director for Africa Robin Townley, was informed that the Central Intelligence Agency had rejected his request for an elite security clearance required for service on the NSC, according to two people with direct knowledge of the situation.
That forced Townley, a former Marine intelligence officer who had long maintained a top secret-level security clearance, out of his NSC post, explained the sources, who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive personnel matters.
One of the sources said that the rejection was approved by Trump’s CIA director Mike Pompeo and that it infuriated Flynn and his allies.
Both sources said that the CIA did not offer much explanation for why Townley’s request for so-called “Sensitive Compartmented Information” clearance was rejected. But the sources said that Flynn and his allies believe it was motivated by Townley’s skepticism of the intelligence community’s techniques — sentiments shared by Flynn.
“They believe this is a hit job from inside the CIA on Flynn and the people close to him,” said one source, who argued that some in the intelligence community feel threatened by Flynn and his allies. “Townley believes that the CIA doesn’t run the world," the source said.

Most of the senior leadership at the CIA needs to be taken to St. Elizabeth’s for the duration.
State is the biggest mess to me as they are rushing in more and more refugees.
Committee=Agency
Who has dual citizenship?
Who knows the truth. If the IC does not have good cause for denying the clearance, Flynn goes to Trump who has the authority to grant any clearance - you know the part in the constitution about having all executive power.
Remember hot mic conversation of Obama and Medlev saying wait until after election when I can do more.
I still say have the FBI investigate the CIA while the CIA investigates the FBI. Then pop some corn.
Probably time for some of the old, over the hill dead meat out of the CIA and other agencies. Plus, weed out the liberals who support the commies.
Agree ....
Very good point .....
Would Trump have the authority to fire any CIA agent?
My understanding is the MOLE along with several other MOLES, secretly working for the Globalist, have already been identified and the process to replace them is happening. We should hear something in the next 2 to 3 weeks.
Keep in mind this is Politico too. In other words it’s a lot of bull and theatrics. Once the Moles are getting flushed. Traitor publications like Politico will spin the reality of the situation.
Who has dual citizenship?
These are often code words to try to purge Jewish Americans who also hold Israeli citizenship from government. Each case must be examined on its own. Performance, not purity, should be the criteria, and performance includes reliability and loyalty.
Where did you hear this?
was rejected for a critical security clearance
Rejected by whom?
Flynn had breached diplomatic protocols
Any FACTS to prove this?
Robin Townley, was informed... according to two people with direct knowledge of the situation.
Was informed by whom, and who are these two people?
explained the sources, who requested anonymity...
OK, got it, we trust you. They're protecting themselves from evil doers bent on exposing them for disclosing secret/confidential information.
One of the sources said that the rejection was...Uh huh Both sources said... Right. said one source, who argued... the source said.
Well then, that sure solidified this story!
Competely political. I say that as someone who has had inside knowledge of the process dealing with IC security clearances. CIA is full of of political (geopolitical) activists. They must be cleared out.

Re: Pompeo’s confirmation hearings. I did not get to watch them and don’t know what his behavior was. Can you summarize what was wrong? I’d very much appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
No case-by-case examination for people with dual citizenships. In fact, no dual citizenships. Choose ONE country, and drop citizenship in the other. If a person can’t love, and be loyal to, the USA 100%, then there’s a problem.
