President Trump on Wednesday revoked the security clearance of John Brennan, the former C.I.A. director under President Barack Obama, citing what he called Mr. Brennan’s “erratic” behavior.

We do not have two or three years left. The purges and takedowns in Government need to start by December of this year, before external events wipe out all other possibilities.
The Bankers, Media, and Techno-monopolists are moving on their counter-strikes. The Bureaucracies must be neutralized before they can regroup and effectively assist the coup efforts.
I wonder if the timing implies concern about Brennan sharing classified information with Omarosa (or vice versa).
It’s necessary in the cases of a major national emergency then all resources are called in e.g. 9/11
What you said.
John you’re going to need to get a Go Fund Me page up and running soon...
As far as I know mine was taken away the day I was laid off from my defense contractor job. And why would they need their clearance intact? It’s a security risk. Duh!
Don’t misunderstand, I’m not totally blaming Trump for the transition. I think a lot of people he was counting on failed him.
He had to fire Chris Christie a couple days in because he broke Trump’s no-lobbyists pledge and chaos appeared to ensue.
Too many obvious firings undone and too many bad cabinet nominees IMHO.
I have long thought that in this game of high-ranking musical chairs, the less stupid players are going to be getting chairs of lesser punishment/deals/immunity, and Brennan, because he is such a dimwit, is going to be the last man standing.
He is still out there shooting off his mouth. Everything he says may come back to haunt him.
He needs someone to put a hand on his shoulder and say “You need to shut up and go low profile. Now.”
Personally, I hope he keeps doubling down and flapping his yap.
I can only hope Pres. Trump next announces the results of 4am, no-knock searches on Brennan’s, home, office, CNN green room, bathroom at his favorite Starbucks, etc, for all the documents he has that he can’t now have, a real anal probe kind of search.
FORMER — if he doesn’t have a current official capacity, he most definitely should not have a security clearance.
Ditts.
There’s going to be nice Schadenfreude whenever Mullah Brennan uncorks his mother of all vitriolic screeds against Pres. Trump. He’s in a towering doesn’t-he-know-who-I-am boiling rage right now, and is going to fire off a major meltdown on paper. Waiting with anticipation & glee.
It already has started; some prissy little queen named Phillippe something, responded by calling Trump a vindictive little B-—h. He is a former Clinton aide. I guess this means he would certainly know about vindictive little b-—hes.
Good job. Yes, not nearly soon enough.
I think you meant January 20th but agree.
Don’t know but here’s a hint :
JULY 23, 2018 Mon : (WHITE HOUSE PRESSER : SECURITY CLEARANCES) White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced Monday that President Trump is “exploring the mechanisms” to remove the security clearance of Obama-era intelligence officials, including ex-CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey. “The president contends to the fact that people with security clearances are making these baseless charges provides inappropriate legitimacy to accusations with zero evidence,” Sanders told White House press reporters.

JULY 24, 2018 Tue : (AF1 : DISCUSSION ON FORMER OFFICIALS’ SECURITY CLEARANCES) President Donald Trump has started “the for pulling security clearances from “certain individuals,” a White House aide revealed Tuesday. White House Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley told reporters aboard Air Force One traveling to Joint Base Andrews in Camp Springs, Maryland, that the administration has begun taking the necessary steps to revoke access to classified information from former top intelligence officials but declined to get into specifics.
“What I can say is that the president finds it extremely inappropriate for somebody to go on television under the perception of legitimacy, integrity and level false and baseless claims against another person without any evidence whatsoever,” Gidley told the press gaggle. “He finds that to be somewhat troublesome and concerning, and so he has begun the mechanism to remove security clearances from certain individuals. The names were listed yesterday. And when we have a further announcement on that, we’ll give it to you.” ...

That makes a lot of operational sense, 100.
Between Trump’s inherent smarts & the talent around him, this seems to have been the right play.
Eagerly awaiting developments . . .
