Sen. Rand Paul called Monday for President Trump to revoke former CIA director John Brennan's security clearance, as he questioned whether the Obama-era spy boss was “monetizing” his access to sensitive information in his new role as a pundit.
“Is John Brennan monetizing his security clearance? Is John Brennan making millions of dollars divulging secrets to the mainstream media with his attacks on @realDonaldTrump?”
...
Today I will meet with the President and I will ask him to revoke John Brennan’s security clearance
...
Brennan’s role in the Russia probe “is in some ways more concerning than the FBI’s.”
“Mr. Brennan has taken credit for launching the Trump investigation,” Strassel wrote, adding that Brennan “took the lead on shaping the narrative that Russia was interfering in the election specifically to help Mr. Trump—which quickly evolved into the Trump-collusion narrative.”

BOOM......time for Brennan to follow suit.
Nothing like letting the opposition and actual coup plotters inside the gate. Some of these people are actually trying to overthrow the government and trying to get Trump imprisoned or killed.
That's my question as well.
End employment with almost any company at almost any level and your company network login and any company access whatsoever is cut off before you walk out the door. That people still trust this government on any level is beyond me.

I think the CIA needs to go. They have obviously strayed from their purpose. I am sure there are things they do which help but it doesn’t offset everything else. They no longer serve the people.
Does Barney Frank still have his ?
Brennan is no longer CIA chief, there is a little preface to security clearances, it is called NEED TO KNOW, so you may have a top secret clearance you can NOT ask for info willy nilly.
If there is no Need to Know, your former Top Secret clearance does not open any doors to new secrets.
However, if Brennan is selling/leaking Top Secret or even Secret data that he was entitled to as director of the CIA, he is guilty of violating the law.
Hillary should have hers revoked too!
“Why stop there?”
Why not take the Security Clearances of Sessions, Rosenschmeckel, Wray, et. al?
Then when someone proves they are still getting classified info from their Deep State buddies, jail them, jail all of them!
Check his proctologist
“I have a security clearance and once I no longer have a need to know, it will be suspended. Period.”
I had one years ago when I worked for a military R&D company during the Vietnam war. To get it, I had to undergo an FBI investigation. My friends told me that they were contacted by the FBI. When I left the company, it was revoked, and the FBI made it very clear what my responsibilities were to protect what I knew after I left.
For 30 years, I didn’t talk about what I did. It wasn’t until a friend e-mailed me, unknowingly, about a weapon for which I was responsible, complete with pictures of a congressman waiving it around in a hearing room, that I had anything to say.
It is Step #2 in the process of rescuing our country! Step #3 will be Trump's re-election in 2020, together with further "housecleaning" in the Congress, ridding it of more RATs and RINOs.
I have to call upon my vast knowledge of the inner workings of the CIA - knowledge gleaned from years of watching the boob-toob - and presuppose that the reason he still has clearance is because someone is watching his every move, waiting for him to leak something (more).
I think that I would get more satisfaction from seeing him frog-marched than just about anyone - except hillary-dillary of course!
The legal requirement to not divulge classified info continues past when your clearance is suspended for not having a need to know.
I don’t understand why they would continue to give security clearance to people after they leave office.
That in inself seems like a huge security breach.
I can see very limited access given to former officers that the current administration might want to use in a special capacity.
Brennan’s clearance should have been pulled when his term as CIA Director expired. President should now issue the cancellation.
Back when Sandy Berger committed his unpunished crimes, I asked the same question about his clearance because he was obviously not part of the Bush administration. The answer was that his former boss, Bill Clinton, was the sponsor of his clearance.
Based on that, I'm going to say that Bathhouse Barry is the sponsor of Brennan and the rest of the former Obama officials who still have clearances.
One would think that turning in the VIP restroom key would also include losing clearance.
PING
Check out # 16.
If we don't call, then who will?
Thanks, Liz.
