William H. McRaven, a retired Navy admiral, was commander of the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command from 2011 to 2014. He oversaw the 2011 Navy SEAL raid in Pakistan that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
Former CIA director John Brennan, whose security clearance you revoked on Wednesday, is one of the finest public servants I have ever known. Few Americans have done more to protect this country than John. He is a man of unparalleled integrity, whose honesty and character have never been in question, except by those who don

Two different issues. Clearance means nothing without access.
Do the man a favor, President (God, I LOVE saying that!) Trump, and do it.
The Deep State is really deep.
What does he know about Benghazi?
Like everyone else involved in arming jihadists, they don’t want anybody talking about it.
He’s had it for 4 years too long. Yank it.
As a practical matter, that's how it works now.
Having a clearance doesn't mean you can access classified information at will. Someone with both clearance and a need to know needs to determine that you have a legitimate need to know before they can share the info.
Access is granted on a case by case basis - just like getting a temporary clearance only with a lot less paperwork.
This guy must be going through life with his eyes and ears closed. He must have seen what Brennan has been up to lately. So what is he trying to do?
Well, OK.
Just like Robert Mueller, eh?
Sorry bud - no sale!
“you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children”
I have no doubt that his children are embarrassed of him.
That is poor judgement.
Nothing says you can wear a uniform...think McCain... and not be a nut.
Karl Rove have a security clearance?
If does he needs to be next.
SUPER-scary that this creep was head of the Joint Special Forces command.
He oversaw a fake operation to make his man in the white house look good?
Exactly! I think mine ended the day I got laid off from my defense contractor job.
Swampocrats are special.
Whats their need to know?
Swampocrats always need to know ... so they can abuse and misuse sensitive information.
Is Marcinko still alive? The man who freaked out our most “secure” bases with Red Team raids that made them pee their pants.... and restructure the security of very important bases? That man? Will have to check. Marcinko was like Sgt. Plummer.... THAT kind of officer. With the scars to prove it.
Can’t wait to hear from the SEAL community, those who know. Because one wonders what role McRaven had in the crash of a helicopter in Afghanistan which kill 30 Special Operators, and the SEALs were all from the same unit that “killed” usama bin laden. Verdict still out on this incredible waste of fine spec warriors. And who did it (like maybe obamaumao?.
