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.

Glenn Dougherty and Ty Woods were CIA contractors or GRS. There compound was attacked. They were killed by mortar fire, if I’m not mistaken. Meaning that a CIA facility was under direct attack from enemy combatants. Patreus was certainly in the Chain of Command. He had assets that only a handful of people know about. They were his guys. And he let them, DIE. Pure and simple.
Additionally, he had a chance to tell the world what happened that night. To be a true Patriot and he chose not to. That was the second time he turned his back on HIS men.
I also find it FASCINATING that the State Department lacks the ability to be friendly-in-passing. For crying out loud, I guess they are just focused like a laser to be more Cintonesque.
Since when did the brie eating,vegan loving hippie crowd start loving the CIA and all the alphabet intelligence agencies?
When did this sea change of love, because I am from the 60’s and I know what they were saying for the last 50 years, come into existence? (s)
Those numbers come from the amount of ‘man hours’ it takes to investigate someone. Basically, how much do they pay the OPM Investigator to do all the research, drive to interviews and meet with people to talk about the person, pay for copies of police reports, etc.
It’s not like there’s an invoice that gets sent to anyone. However, if companies, like the defense contractors started getting billed for it, I’m sure you’d see a drastic reduction in the number of requests.
By the way, it might be old news to you, but Comey’s finances are now uncovered in a new book. Along with other swamp creatures in the FBI. Dynamite material.
[Why is my language so stilted all the sudden? I get in these moods — weird. Please don’t think I’m being, well, never mind.]
The book’s title seems to be invisible here in the forum. Hannity interviewed the author yesterday — I think it was his second hour. Anyway, that was before the highly-touted singers were promoted.
[Singers have potential, but good grief — didn’t see the book mentioned in Sean Hannity’s home page. Can’t they promote both?]
But, then they’d be guilty of giving classified information to people without the proper security clearances, which is a crime.
The majority of Americans believe that the US gov't was involved in killing JFK. The events on Elm Street made many of the headlines since then possible.
If you can kill a President in front of hundreds of people and get away with it, scams like Hussein Obama are child's play.
I see where you’re going, but also disagree.
Once they’re gone from their position, then, YES, clearance is suspended/inactivated/revoked.
But, if they get a job with a contractor that does business with the government that’s on them. However, the company will then petition the government to reinstate the clearance, with VERY VERY CLEARLY DEFINED AND NARROW PARAMETERS, as to why the person needs it. Lets say the person is retired Air Force that was into missiles. They get a job with Raytheon. Raytheon would then petition the government to grant a clearance only for the projects that they person is working on. They can’t call up an old friend that works for CIA and get a daily SITREP on what’s going on in Syria. If they’re caught trying that or getting into a database that they shouldn’t, then EVERY single clearance that Raytheon has is revoked, company fined $100k per person and all work ceases, pending the investigation.
I think something like that would solve a lot of these problems. One more thing, they reimburse the government for the cost of the clearance investigation.
My husband worked for defense contractors most of his career, and I believe his companies footed the bill for all of his clearances, polygraphs, etc. I could be wrong, but believe that’s how it worked.
Yesterday Rush gave a pretty good rundown on how this gravy train works with the swamp creatures, their clearances, and future employment. What a racket! It’s incestuous and un-American.
Caterwauling is loudest when over the target.
Now time for PDJT to drop the full load on target.
Pffft!
What we have witnessed over the course of Pres. Trump’s campaign and election is, there is only a UNIPARTY. The New World Order puts up two candidates but it really doesn’t matter which one wins they are going to do the bidding of the NWO. It’s all been a scam for decades.
Their reaction to POTUS from both parties proves it. It also proves they regard us as some kind of low life forms no more significant than insects.
MAGA!!!
wbarmy .... I’d be willing to bet that if a busload of FR folks took a tour thru the parking lots of the CIA, NSA, DIA, GeoSpatial Intel parking lots, you’d find many, many more Bernie and Clinton bumper stickers than would make you feel comfortable.
CIA has recruiting offices on many college campuses. Of course, having them at places that are heavy on the computer side of things, is the right thing to do. It needs those computer folks. But, I think when people think of CIA, et al, they think of Jason Bourne and Jack Ryan. Sure, CIA has some legitimate Pipe Hitters in the Ground Branch/SAD units. But those guys are like the caged, savages that are only allowed out of the cage when necessary.
For the most part, all of the federal agencies have been taken over by Leftists, college kids that don’t know shit.
Think about this: Who would you want as a DEA/FBI/Sec Service/US Marshal/ATF/ICE agent? A college kid that doesn’t know anything? Or a seasoned street cop, that has 5-10 years of experience under their belt?
I’m hoping you want the cop. But, for the most part, we’re all getting the college kid. And look at what those kids are like nowadays.
It would be the, Second American Revolution. Truly epic. All from some loudmouth, brash, arrogant SOB from Queens. Please Lord, Baby Jesus, let it happen.
Even better if all of them fled the country, jumped from their rooftops or ended up in the SuperMax in Colorado.
What I am beginning to wonder is HOW MANY OTHER ELECTIONS these criminals have screwed around with.
They should stop criticizing an elected president. Who the hell ever elected these shadow government figures to anything???
Gravy train coming to the end and of the line for these pampered perfumed princes? Too bad. What have these parasites done to enhance our national security of late except for wasting tax payers money?
There aren’t enough lamp posts in DC for all these people.
I’ll bring the rope.
I once worked for a company with one of those retired generals at its head. He cleared $800K easily, while I earned peanuts and later learned at my peril that the IRA for that place was a joke on me. They must’ve seen me coming.
Ironic how the dirty always expose themselves with unrighteous indignation.....
