On Thursday evening I kept my regular date with "Tucker Carlson Tonight", talking about, of course, the removal of John Brennan's security clearance. Brennan, a man psychologically unfit to be either CIA director or "former CIA director", is now the darling of the left - the people's spook, on whose behalf Senator Blumenthal is arguing that America's founders had cannily foreseen the need for a security clearance. Click here to watch:
Incidentally, that New York Times column by Brennan bears the headline "President Trump's Claims of No Collusion Are Hogwash". The only evidence the ex-Director of Central Intelligence adduces to support his confident declaration is as follows:
The already challenging work of the American intelligence and law enforcement communities was made more difficult in late July 2016...when Mr. Trump, then a presidential candidate, publicly called upon Russia to find the missing emails of Mrs. Clinton. By issuing such a statement, Mr. Trump was not only encouraging a foreign nation to collect intelligence against a United States citizen, but also openly authorizing his followers to work with our primary global adversary against his political opponents.
As anyone who saw that moment on television will know, Mr Trump was making what those of us outside Brennan's "intelligence community" call a "joke". It is a joke rooted, as all the best ones are, in cold reality - in this case, that due to the indulgence of Brennan and the rest of the Obama Administration, Mrs Clinton's homebrew email server was hacked by foreign intelligence agencies.

To Brennan and the rest of his LEFTIST cabal: Put up or shut up.
I have said before the muslims and the LEFT are simpatico even though they are diametrically opposed to each other in policy.
They are both totalitarian ideologies. However, God forbid, they ever realize their goal of a totalitarian state, the muslims will eat the LEFT alive. And we will end up with an islamic state.
My knowledge is dated by some 30 years, but I know back then a retired three star who had commanded a numbered air force was still offered monthly briefings for as long as he wanted them. I would assume that the “brain trust” then included any 3 and 4 stars that kept an active interest. This probably extended to other branches of the Executive, also.
And we, the taxpayers, would have the privilege of renewing their clearances every 5 years. Brennan’s muzzy so he’s afraid of not getting classified into to America’s enemies. Same with Hellary. Same with the rest.
If he’d ignored it, the msm would have ignored it so there wouldn’t be any public embarrassment. Sure, there’s plenty of enemies of the US who could get him the info but he’d have to go through them and perhaps pay for it.
Liberals certainly love to wax eloquent on things that they have absolutely no knowledge of. The Bible. The Constitution. Morals. Honor. Integrity. Guts. Patriotism. Just to name a few.
Liberals should be taught to understand that “it’s better to be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt”.
Bless their hearts.
“...the muslims and the LEFT are simpatico even though they are diametrically opposed to each other in policy.”
Someone on FR called this unholy axis the “hammer and crescent”. Fits; both are totalitarian, anti-West, and hate Christianity, the U.S., and Israel.
Brennan needs it to make money.
All the more reason to yank it.

Yes. He voted for Gus Hall for Pres at 21. Claims he was young and in college. At his age of 21 I had a TS and was in combat. Commie/Muslim converts like Brennan always have an excuse for lies/misdeeds.
Insiders have reaped the benefits of this continued security clearance and exposed it to the public.
Many people are now asking the obvious question. Why should anyone who no longer holds a position in security departments retain their security clearance after they leave?
Brennan has brought unwanted attention to this questionable and difficult to justify practice.
It's time to have a conversation as to why this happens, the alleged benefits, RISKS, dangers, and personal motives.
Drain The Swamp.

Trump did not know, at the time of his joke, what Brennan claims to have known about Russian influence. So Brennan’s logic is both misleading and deceptive in his pathetic attempt to criminalize-in-hindsight Trump’s joke.
that's because the USMJ code applies to retired brass as long as they live. That is, there are punitive regs specifically addressing what retired brass can and can't do or say.
Leftists LIE as Easily As They Breath
made up shit/falsehoods - people NEED to remember who these liars are so that they can get what they are due for BETRAYING the American People
Seems to me the system worked the way it should. I had clearances when my job required them, and didn't have clearances when I no longer had those jobs.
