President Donald Trump has revoked the security clearance of former CIA director John Brennan, saying he helped to “sow division and chaos” while criticizing the Trump administration, the White House has announced.
The Trump administration is also looking into revoking the clearances of a number of former officials, including former FBI director James Comey and recently fired FBI agent Peter Strzok, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters on Wednesday. Brennan “has a history that calls into question is objectivity and credibility,” Sanders said, quoting a statement from Trump, adding that his conduct “facilitates the very aims of our adversaries, which is to sow division and chaos.”

According to the statement, “any benefits that senior officials might glean from consultations with Mr. Brennan are now outweighed by the risks posed by his erratic conduct and behavior. Second, that conduct and behavior has tested and far exceeded the limits of any professional courtesy that may have been due to him.”

Last month, after Brennan accused Trump of “treason” over the Helsinki summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the White House announced it would look at revoking the clearances of the former CIA chief and other senior officials who have parlayed their status in the Obama administration into jobs as media critics of Trump.Brennan joined NBC News as “senior national security and intelligence analyst” in February. His criticism of Trump on air and on Twitter has gone beyond questioning the president’s policies, instead focusing on claims he is unfit for office.

“It’s astounding how often you fail to live up to minimum standards of decency, civility, & probity. Seems like you will never understand what it means to be president, nor what it takes to be a good, decent, & honest person,” Brennan tweeted on Tuesday.

Sanders lashed out at Brennan and other former officials last month, accusing them of politicizing and monetizing their public service and security clearances in order to provide “inappropriate legitimacy to accusations with zero evidence” against Trump.

Retired senior officials customarily keep their security clearances as a courtesy, in case the current officials need their help or advice.

and now Rand is saying publicly that Assange should receive immunity for and he should testify to congress. He will get this to Trump as well.

[Aratus]

Assuming everything Hillary C wasn't directly handed to
Mister 'A' from Putin's hacker friends on a gov't payroll...

[Aratus]

What if Mister A and/or his close friends did not do the initial really big & total hack?
If what he did is not even icing on the cake,jist a tad more like a Johnny come lately
afterthought, RAND is suggesting something that is very generous with FEW results.

[Aratus]

A while back, a thread here had an article about a spy that was on the staff
of an influential (D) senator, quite often political operatives can go from one
campaign to another, or even be borrowed. When Ms.Hillary tapped the loyal
Democrats for her POTUS run, assuming Russian spies go by KGB/NKVD "3s"
still, is there any way the senator's spy had one or two contacts on Ms.H's fall
campaign? Exactly who did Ms.H and her people let on that server? The struck
guy's 9 to 5 job inside FBI had him spyhunting for real, not just speechifying...

[Aratus]

Ms.F's spy evidently was spying for at least one of the two China's...

Dr. Rand Paul Applauds President Trump for Revoking John Brennan’s Security Clearance


WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) released the following statement after the White House announced President Donald Trump has revoked the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan:

“I applaud President Trump for his revoking of John Brennan’s security clearance. I urged the President to do this. I filibustered Brennan’s nomination to head the CIA in 2013, and his behavior in government and out of it demonstrate why he should not be allowed near classified information. He participated in a shredding of constitutional rights, lied to Congress, and has been monetizing and making partisan political use of his clearance since his departure.”

Assange shouldn't be prosecuted for publishing leaked material anyway, Trump should give him a blanket pardon, you are letting your TDS turn you against Rand.

Glad the communist lost his security clearance. Now I hope he will go to jail for the fake Russia investigation on Trump.

Be interesting to see if DGP 1.0 would react to this in media as he was his right hand man during drone freedom dropppings that reportedly killed/maimed thousands of civilians and children of various races.

And was bit surprised to hear widely respected host Dana Parino of Fox's Five suggest that this was announced today to divert attention from Omarosa tapes scandal.

My brother told me that maybe Trump should take Obama's clearance as well.

He should do a blanket revocation of anyone who isn't presently in a position that requires one and then assign someone to review everyone who is.

Assange is a publisher who had a part in exposing the disgusting nature of the Demoncrat party when he was given leaked info, he is being persecuted for that and for publishing other leaked material exposing US government corruption.

[Aratus]

I thought the court cases were chickens that came home to roost, some of 'em.
The word "persecuted" is hyperbole. Both our two BIGLY parties are corrupt. I do
think Mister A faked things, claimed to walk the walk and talk the talk. Conman!

[Swordsmyth]

As expected, former CIA Director Brennan has taken to Twitter to express his dissatisfaction with the President's decision, claiming that Trump's move "should gravely worry all Americans" as it is "part of a broader effort by Mr. Trump to suppress freedom of speech & punish critics." "I will not relent," he concludes...

This action is part of a broader effort by Mr. Trump to suppress freedom of speech & punish critics. It should gravely worry all Americans, including intelligence professionals, about the cost of speaking out. My principles are worth far more than clearances. I will not relent. https://t.co/TNzOxhP9ux

Brennan immediately ran to his 'safe space' at MSNBC and raged hard...“I do believe that Mr. Trump decided to take this action—as he's done with others—to try to intimidate and suppress any criticism of him or his administration,”

“I do believe that Mr. Trump decided to take this action, as he’s done with others, to suppress any criticism of him or his administration … it’s his way of trying to get back at me.”

*BRENNAN ON MSNBC SAYS TRUMP BEHAVIOR IS 'TYRANT' LIKE

*BRENNAN: TRUMP'S 'DISHONESTY' IS NOT SUITABLE FOR AMERICA

*BRENNAN: TRUMP LETTING AMERICA DOWN WITH HIS BEHAVIOR, ACTIONS

*BRENNAN: CRUCIAL THAT MUELLER INVESTIGATION CONTINUES

Additionally, Brennan seemed surprised that he was not informed ahead of his clearance revokation, saying he “was called by a friend and associate when Sarah Huckabee Sanders was giving that statement. So I had no knowledge of it beforehand. No one contacted me. Nobody reached out to me over the past several weeks when this issue had first surfaced."
And then states that he is "not sure if there is any recourse to take on Trump's move," quickly shifting the narrative to claim that this move was to distract from Omerosa.

If he has the BR@$$bALLz to return to the u.s. 2 testify...honestly
And then meekly ask for a pardon AFTER we get an idea of his sources,
if Doctor Randal Paul is an honest man, he will get his pardon, eventually.
Why be nicer to Assange than Obama was to poor Chelsea Manning?
Maybe I am old and cynical. Heard it all before. Trying to be fair.

He shouldn't need a pardon, I only suggested one because it would put an absolute end to all thoughts of prosecuting him.



Why be nicer to Assange than Obama was to poor Chelsea Manning?

Because there is a difference between what they each did and because Trump is supposed to be better than O'Bummer.

Sadly, neither Donald Trump or Barack Obama have ever at all been moved by the same Christian

[Swordsmyth]

President Trump said he expects to "quickly" revoke the security clearance for the Justice Department official whose wife worked for the firm involved in producing the dossier on Trump's ties to Russia.
Mr. Trump, speaking to reporters on the White House South Lawn, said the official, Bruce Ohr, is a "disgrace."
Asked about Ohr's security clearance, Mr. Trump said: "I suspect I'll be taking it away very quickly. For him to be in the Justice Department and doing what he did, that is a disgrace."

The White House has drafted documents revoking the security clearances of current and former officials whom President Donald Trump has demanded be punished for criticizing him or playing a role in the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to senior administration officials.
Trump wants to sign "most, if not all" of them, said one senior White House official, who indicated that communications aides, including press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Bill Shine, the newly named deputy chief of staff, have discussed the optimum times to release them as a distraction during unfavorable news cycles.
