Washington (AFP) - Former CIA directors and another half dozen of America's most senior spies have issued an unprecedented condemnation of President Donald Trump, after his decision to blacklist their colleague John Brennan.

In a statement, ex-CIA bosses appointed by Republican and Democratic presidents -- including Robert Gates, George Tenet, Porter Goss, Leon Panetta and David Petraeus -- denounced Trump's decision to strip Brennan of his security clearance.

If ex-CIA, FBI or Justice Dept. members use their status to become paid by news information companies, including their parent company and any subsidiaries, they lose their clearances. News does not need that kind of inside information to be informative.

They will try to take his wealth, his family’s wealth and futures, burn down his businesses, imprison and k i l l them all as a lesson to outsiders who think they can rise to Trump’s position.

He should have yanked Sessions prior to approval after his testimony and fired all attys general-like Clinton did, along with the 1000 operatives 0bama placed in gov’t before he left office, as well as with any and all new gov’t employees still on probation/term. Day 1.

You do not negotiate in a rise to power. You seize it.

I believe he was told/warned to do these things. Not doing them may well cause his downfall. And with such a thing, ours. I believe him to be our last chance.

Now we are all becoming informed about what Ethan Bearman, who was on the Tucker Carlson show the other day, really meant with his comment that this removal would "affect his livelihood"...and it wasn't about his being a TV pundit.

I don’t post much anymore, for reasons only few need to know. But here’s my latest, when logging in last. It was a PM.

29 men are under NDAs for what happened in Benghazi alone. I understand there was hand-to-hand fighting, and now, we learn, complete betrayal of our men in harm’s way, as Extortion 17 proved for you, since you wanted it, Admiral Pol Pot McRaven, and you, Joseph (Stalin) Biden. Are you FINALLY, finally ‘happy now’?

I will NEVER forgive these treasonous monsters, these demons. God help me, but I cry VENGEANCE, God, VENGEANCE.

Having known men who’ve died or were maimed for life in battle, I will always, always, remember and think of them, encapsulated in the image of that one lone man, fighting on the roof of Benghazi late at night, lasing the target, waiting for air support that NEVER CAME. I believe I know one of those sitting on a tarmac at Sig, waiting for orders to take off as rescue, denied by guess who, under cover of no CBA-while the USMC was somehow on vacay in the Caribbean.

That last second, when the men aboard that helo that carried all those 22 SEALs was ‘somehow’ (yeah, right) not supported by fixed wing Apaches, knew the jig was up, and our ‘Representative Congress’ did NOTHING, must have been like all those other times they’ve betrayed our warfighters. Nothing. May they all live long enough to know long, excruciating, painful deaths. And that’s being extremely kind.

Of course they do

They ate petrified their swamp gold ticket will impair their ability to make millions die their “claearance”, which gives access to bureaucratic friends, who enable them to make money by virtue of pedigree and relationships

Aren’t these the same dumb bastards who let the Russkis “meddle” in our elections? This isn’t news. This is liberal horsesh*t.

Most college kids now cannot name the rights in the Bill of Rights. And, they don’t know their own or how to exercise them.

So, they get hired by friends and family and the gravy train of pols who expect loyalty to them and not country, let alone principles.

How many? Try at least JFK’s WVa numbers, if not earlier.

Ever since early voting and the civil rights act, it’s been absolutely rigged.

Robert Gates, George Tenet, Porter Goss, Leon Panetta and David Petraeus are all chicken$hits and gutless. They are why we are in this mess.

So.

We find out just how deep the rabbit hole goes.

The Deep State goes all the way back to Bush the First.

If the loss of clearance impacts whether any of these yahoos is able to speak freely, then clearly they are improperly discussing things learned through their security clearance. If their discussions don’t include any information gleaned from secure sources, they they do not need the security clearance to speak freely.

So what exactly are these former government employees admitting?

I dont understand. There have to be two things to see classified information

Security clearance

Need to know

None of these former officials have a need to know.

How does their security clearances benefit their companies?

I count 11 votes. That is the extent of their current influence.
