And some people tell me that my sense of humor is to subtle.

He got it from obama. Brennan was/is a communist and yet he was appointed and got a clearance. He should not have gotten one... does not make sense to the sensible.. but to the obama crowd, they were lawless and put out country in jeopardy.. along with hillary who did not care who saw all her clasified information.

But they are after.... Trump!

How did this POS even get HIRED by the CIA after voting for Gus Hall , American Communist Party candidate for president in 1976? That’s what I want to know.

John Brennan: [I’ve seen] “the goodness and beauty of Islam.”

My animosity toward Brennan was his support of Islam; and his intimidating CIA operatives who spoke ill of Islamic theology.
It is the old story of hiding the real problem , and you are left attacking the symptoms.

Unfortunately for the non-Muslim world today, we have top politicians and the Pope doing the same thing.

He voted for the Communist presidential candidate Gus Hall once. That is sufficient to disqualify anyone else. He was someone’s useful tool.

Recently, Brennan said he was discussing security matters with the FBI. I thought during the Clinton Administration, Jamie Gorelick had put a stop to information-sharing. Thence, 9/11.

Brennan was a natural pick for the Deep State that has been running this country for a long time.

More than likely he was cleared in the 80’s when he joined CIA. More than likely, every job he held at CIA required TS, including being President’s briefer, which is considered a plum job no matter who is President. It was probably renewed every 5-7 years like it is for everyone in these sorts of positions.

Whether he should have retained it after leaving the government is a different issue, but I don’t believe there is anything sinister about HOW he was cleared.

Further, thousands of federal and military people retain their clearance when they leave and become contractors or federal employees (in the case of military). Whether they should or not is debatable but it happens all the time.

That being said, I totally agree that President Trump is perfectly within his authority to cancel the clearance.

Look up Brezenski, Bin Laden, and Brennan. Interesting that Obama was well known to our INTEL types.

>>Hmmm, clintons again.<<

No it’s not the Clinton’s fault. It is the fault of those who failed to stop him all those years.

Or, "too subtle" - recall usage "too" as "also".

"Two bee oar knot too be" is not seen often anymore.
