Actually, he should never have had a security clearance because in a sane world he should never been in any position in the government. Let alone director of the CIA!

Based on that, I'm going to say that Bathhouse Barry is the sponsor of Brennan and the rest of the former Obama officials who still have clearances. And what is Obama's need to know? I say that in all honesty and it applies to Bush and Clinton too. The nation wasn't founded on the idea that Presidents have an entitlement to a lifetime of access to state secrets for their own purposes. They are in office and need that data, no question. But when they are out they go back to private pursuits and that need is over. If they choose to work for a thinktank then that's their right but they don't have a right to pull current intel data to advance that pursuit just because they feel entitled to it.

Rand Paul would make a great POTUS during times of civility. And now, during times of discord, he makes a great ally for POTUS Trump.

The democrats will then demand all former Republican officials with clearances lose their clearances, too.
So Don Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, Brent Scowcroft, etc., etc. will be stripped of their clearances.
Note: I am not opposed to this.

Didn’t several of obozo’s staff and Hillary’s staff keep their security clearances? It seems that Jarrett did and also Abedin...heck, probably Hillary did also...
Nothing would surprise me!

“”And Clinton STILL thinks (c) was the third part of the sequence of lettered paragraphs:””
HA - she wouldn’t have liked Bill Gates any more than I do when you ended up in an old WP program with (c) because you entered (a) and (b) and he thought you needed a (c)
. You will have a (c) whether or not you want it!

I do not know why ex-Presidents have this ability, but they do. Maybe it only extends as far as their personal papers in the National Archives, but it exists and while the National Archives claims they don't give the same privileges in the aftermath of Sandy Berger's smuggling and destruction of incriminating documents that allowed it to occur, the damage was done there and all because Berger kept his clearance through Clinton.
As an aside, I don't believe the Archives for a second. Just let Valerie Jarrett or Susan Rice march in there and demand to get documents and be left alone, and they'll puddle the floor and say, "Yes ma'am. Sorry ma'am. Here are the keys. Please lock up when you're done."

Yep. That’s the question. And, while we’re at it, are there any others from the obama gang who still do?

Brennan and Clapper have pals on the senate intel committee. Remember how that committee keeps declaring that they agree with the 2016 "assessment" from the 17, er, 4, or hand picked members of 3 agencies? Brennan and Clapper testified for the same committee.
I'll bet one thing Trump considers is whether he wants to tangle with the RINOs before the midterms.
I left a comment on the WH phone to yamk Brennan's clearance. That's not the only one that needs to be removed, but it's a good start.

I actually talked to a human being after waiting about 10 minutes. Also told one of Rand Paul’s office workers by phone that I had called the WH.

Brennan's a two bit thug with delusions of grandeur... and the damn “Intelligence Bureaucracy’ thinks they're a branch of government rather than a “Department” - no different than the Post office or Houseing and Urban Development.
Someone needs to get a grip on reality. Yes, revoke Brennans security clearance and the rest of the former thugs who ran these nuthouses.
