Of course, the left has a “constitutional” right to everything, including the right to deny you your rights and to have rights you, “the little people” are not entitled to.
Makes one wonder why Brennan is so scared of losing his clearance. What does he need it for, huh???
—from the WaPo, 2014-—
When I left the assignment that required the TS, I signed a termination acknowledgement (forget the form number) along with the understanding that I had a travel restriction on me for some time... I believe it was 5 years. There is no right for anyone who no longer needs access to continue to have it. It’s basically been a plus for the senior executive positions to leave government and move into the board rooms of major corporations. They need to terminate them all and reinstate only in those cases where absolutely necessary.
Proposed DRAFT
Presidential Executive Order
Effective IMMEDIATELY
ALL Security Clearances and access authority to secure government locations containing classified sensitive information are hereby recalled and void pertaining to any former military personnel no longer on active duty or in Reserve status or flagged for adverse actions, former government civil servants and political appointees in any capacity, former government contractors and former elected officials or elected officials who no longer serve on select committees where security clearances and access to classified sensitive information may be required.
Signed,
Donald J. Trump
POTUS
The God given right.
The Constitution is merely an affirmation that is routinely ignored.
What Government job do you have that requires the Top Security Clearance ?
The left clamors for islam.
By its very nature, classified information is not covered by any First Amendment protections.
Meantime, he is free to say anything else that his butthole can emit...
Over time, some things that the government gives out have been declared to be “property”, which, once given, require due process to take away.
For example, a license to practice medicine of a chest surgeon can’t be revoked because a competing group gets a majority on the Professional Practice Committee.
I gather that these “security clearances”, which I assumed would end with one’s government employment, are in fact bargaining chips in the billion-dollar lobbying and consulting industries.
> “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.”
Spot on. Candidate Trump could have called out in addition to the Russians, the spy kids at American University, the swarm of Chinese computer hackers, the kids in Nigeria tinkering around ... basically, anyone that could take an email address and try to sign in under some really weak password like “password”, and go from there.
What absolute lunacy Brennan and his progressives are stuck on to rant that Americans would think their President was colluding with Russians to hack Clinton’s illegal, unauthorized, unsecured network, and yet not even mention one word about cyber incompetence.
These people are indeed stupid.
To Brennan and the rest of his LEFTIST cabal: Put up or shut up.
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.
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.
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
