Why is this different in government?

It isn't.

I think this move was just for show. After all, as long as O’Vomit still has access, they all have it. He’ll just send it down the line through his back channel set up right down the road from the WH.

Comey, Gates, mccabe etc. etc.

Can't believe Comey and Gates have not had their clearances revoked already.

Is he a former communist, or has he paid his dues?

If I remember correctly (IIRC), the President had a 50% approval rating from a Rasmussen survey yesterday. It’s 49% today. Not bad at all, considering... If it were adjusted for quite a few realities, it would show Mr. Trump leading in an election by far. There are signs that Democrats are abandoning their usual candidates in some areas to favor President Trump & Co.

He can grant or revoke access to any and all classified information and does not need a clearance himself. His election to the presidency is his clearance. People used to ask during the Obama administration how he was able to obtain a clearance. He didn’t need to. Henry Wallace was pretty much an avowed communist. If he had succeeded FDR he wouldn’t have had to worry about that either.

Trump is not a politician... they are a different breed and have their lies all ready to spin. Trump is a businessman who is open and up front. I don’t know if one can become a politician and know all the ins and outs of how they do things... of which is to be anything but honest to the people.... but Trump doesn’t seem to want to become one.

He made the mistakes of giving some opportunities to those he wanted to be kind to... being kind in Washington DC can come back to bite you.

The mistakes he made in some of his appointments were from trying to help those who would not and did not appreciate it. He is smart enough to learn from every misstep.

There isn’t a man alive who could come in from never being in politics, and not make mistakes some where along. Trumps are being made mountains of from the media. If he got the same coverage obama had, Trump would be 75% approval. He is fighting the largest and most heard voices in the world... the &*%^ media!

All you need to know about Mr. John Brennan, is simply this. This fool is a KNWON Communist and a Muslim Convert.

He is also a Obama @$$kisser and is on record to do anything to undermine the current President and everyone associated with him.

Just another lying Muslim Communist trying to continue to lie and deceive us.

He has too many insider buddies still that will give him information.
I don’t think this means much to him, but it’s still should happen.

This is what accountability looks like. The deep state can only survive, if they are allowed to freely communicate classified information. Knock 100 or 200 out of their clearances and DC becomes healthier overnight!!!

I know it's frustrating, but Trump has immense patience and superb timing.

Yesterday I read the chapter in Trump's book, Art of the Comeback.

He was eager to acquire the iconic property, 40 Wall Street. It was widely coveted across New York, and a firm from Hong Kong won the bidding war. The building was worth $130 million before the bubble burst and the Hong Kong firm bought the property for $8 million.

But the firms were newbies to New York and the contractors ate them alive. But Trump kept in touch with them and three years later they came to Trump for a rescue.

Trump ended up buying 40 Wall Street for less than one million dollars!

Speaking of which, Brennan’s sec clearance was revoked less than 2 weeks after Ovomit hosted a big meeting at his DC digs in the World Wildlife Fund building

I believe as long as he had top security, employees could share info with him without committing a crime.

I may be wrong.
