John Brennan, the former Communist and suspected secret Muslim, has had his security clearance revoked by President Trump to the consternation of most of the chattering class and poison peners. Brennan had been the head of the CIA under Obama and is now one of the vindictive chatters on MSNBC ... clawing Trump has impinged oh his freedom of speech. No, no ... it his on his freedom of listening.
It seems abundantly clear that Brennan and the others mentioned by Trump as possible losers of security clearance had formed the core of a cabal opposing Trump in the most pernicious ways. Had they succeeded in their evil, Hillary would be president and their actions would have been rewarded ... at the country's peril.
We escaped this national disgrace by a whisker ... and the price of this perfidy will likely be that all former intelligence operatives will lose their security clearance (including, hopefully, Hillary and maybe even Obama himself if they can be linked to this plot).
I concur with the opinion posted in the Boston Sunday Globe: "Security clearances should terminate with government employment"
ReplyDeleteIncluding Barack and Hillary?
DeleteYes. Including Steve Bannon and Beckah Mercer.
DeleteI'm not sure they ever had security clearances ...
DeleteBannon was on the Nation Security Council so you'd expect security clearance req there. And it is unclear whether he has had it taken away.
DeleteThere is no legitimate reason that a security clearance should extend beyond the tenure of the official. I agree: revoke 'em all.
ReplyDeleteWhat is abundantly clear is: the "deep state" myth is wearing thin. All the Kool Ade in the world will not save him from Obstruction of Justice and eventual disgrace.
Obstruction of injustice ...
