John Brennan never should have had a security clearance at any level.

And now? To give him access to top level ‘intelligence’ so he can feed CNN stuff that costs taxpayers billions of dollars to collect? That’s nuts.

I love the Trump Administration but at times it is sooooo slooooow to get things done that are no brainers and a direct threat to the administration.

If they had followed your advice then all of the subsequent activities, communications etc. would have never been found. This to me is a sign that his usefulness in the whole cabal structure reveal is done, his arrogance has served to bring all the players into view and now we know who and how he is being cut off

I feel that in this wounded state he will activate alternative channels and plans, contingencies for this which they did not plan far in advance and so they will be sloppy, seat of the pants and flying blind.

We have it all, and when the other surrogates spring into action it will be clear just who is who and where the evidence leads

Troubleshooting 101, root cause analysis which is a standard discipline in business


Exactly! All those who whine and complain about Trump not having done this "on day one": Read the above carefully...

.....”Gotta get more popcorn, gonna be a run on it real soon”.....

I think so as well....this is like a warning shot across the bough of those ‘inside’ still thinking they have the upper hand.....rats are going to run around now for awhile wondering just what’s next. Or we’ll see resignations flowing again BEFORE he can chop them.

The various levels of Clearance, issuing authority, access, and need to know has been explained multiple times here on FR. Even so the same statements crop up again and again.

I won't waste bandwidth trying again.

Can you imagine getting in a time machine and going back to the 1950s or 1960s and telling people in the intel community and the military that, someday, a guy who voted for the communist ticket for President would someday be Director of the CIA?

You’d be laughed out of town.

There is a difference between clearance and access. You probably know this already but for the benefit of others reading the thread:

It is possible to have a clearance, and no access. Think of a soldier or officer who was just discharged. They still have their clearance for 2 years. At the end of two years it expires and must be reinstated before being granted access.

Access comes after clearance is granted and is based on need to know. A person can be cleared to TS/SCI but if they dont need access to “Presidential” to conduct their job, they wont be granted that access.

How this plays out for Brannon:
Because the clearance was revoked (worse than suspended and far worse than expired), Brannon will have difficulty finding any job that requires a security clearance as he will not only have to start over, but will have to over come the revocation. Not impossible, but difficult.

Yes slow, but you have to let the rats move about to expose what they’re hiding, and who are doing what for evidence to pile up sufficient to nail them. Thus the whole ball of wax will go down.

Former employees shouldn’t have one, I don’t care who they are!

Correct. Leave Wal-Mart and you are dis-associated, leave Home Depot, you’re personna non grata, leave the US Government and you SHOULD BE without papers, without knowledge, without standing. So long!

John Brennan will have significant people on the left lined up to hire him, he’s already been doing this and one of the reasons why his clearance is being revoked. The left won’t care they’ll use Brennan anyway.

I know most don’t have the patience but I truly believe Trump will have an October Surprise of Epic proportions. It would be hilarious if he has Sessions deliver it. Some heads may then explose even here on FR:-) Both Rudy and Trump have both now hinted at my amateur prediction.
