So are Southern Democrats really of the Bernie/Occasional-Cortex type, if Warner be among them . . . ? A move like this, in support of a commie, is not “centrist”.

They are a dime a dozen. They are God when Dems have no power.

It’s of value because many of the big shots go into positions with government contractors that require the clearance.

I wonder if Trump could revoke Mark Warner’s security clearance? It would be kind of hard to serve as the Vice Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee without a security clearance.

I’ll bet that would stir up some people.

Warner is one of the most corrupt, lying and partisan members of the senate. Trumps actions were not arbitrary, nor is removing someone’s security clearance an assault on free speech. That argument is a talking point for the left to rile up the stupid Democrat and Leftist base. Those clearances are allowed for transition and for those individuals to assist a new administration. Brennan loses on both accounts: the administration is no longer in transition and Brennan sure isn’t trying to assist the Trump administration. He and every other Obama appointee needs to keep their clearance. Brennan is corrupt, a liar and anti-American and should never have been CIA Director, but weak ass Republican senators did nothing to prevent this avowed communist and later Muslim from serving in one of the most sensitive positions in our government. In addition to having his clearance removed, Brennan should be charged and tried for treason.

Ha! Can you imagine the screaming from the RATs if he tried that, it’d be a thing of beauty.

IN FACT, it should have been MONTHS AGO

Same for The Clap and Commey and other traitors

These bastards should keep their mouths shut. All they are doing is deflecting blame from their own misdeeds

BUSTED

"Mark Warner to reveal amendment to ‘block’ Trump from ‘arbitrarily revoking security clearances’"

Mr. warner please explain why people like brennan need a security clearance. Your welcome to use all of your alleged brain to answer rather than just sit on all of it.

Lol! You just gave me a link into the psych of every living democrat....

ld of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people of low ability have illusory superiority and mistakenly assess their cognitive ability as greater

Good move idiot. If someone needs to consult him they can just contact him. He doesn’t need security clearance. Every job I’ve ever had that required security clearance or for that matter any job I’ve had, once I was gone, I lost my access. As I should have.

Fine. Revoke security clearances on ALL ex-employees.

Nothing arbitrary about that.
**************
I had always thought that was normal procedure ,, or at least they would expire at some regular review time period... Absolutely no reason for clearance if you are no longer employed in an area that requires it...

Everyone seems on the same page. The chance of Trump signing a law that will not pass is between ZERO and NONE.
