President Trump on Wednesday revoked the security clearance of John Brennan, the former C.I.A. director under President Barack Obama, citing what he called Mr. Brennan’s “erratic” behavior.

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

No, you are right.

It is crazy how can first amendment rights be broken when Brennan can not discuss anything about his security clearance. ..Trump is not silencing anyone the security clearance already does that

We have common ground on that belief.

With regard to what is doing on with Trump right now, we haven’t seen anything like it before.

McCain was the big voice trashing Bush every step of the way.

He would hit as many talk shows on Sunday morning as he could accommodate.

The silence from the Bush family has been deafening.

The whole RINO contingent was silent. Rove never had a bad thing to say about Leftists. It was always the most sane person on our side who he kept his ammo ready for.

I exited the Navy in 1970. As I understand it, I still have my TS C/W clearance but, for the life of me, I don’t understand why.

I’m in favor of ending clearances at the time the individual separates from their job which required such clearance.

The silence from the Bush family has been deafening.

During a speech in New York (and in the spirit of Michelle Obama), the younger Bush eviscerated the president without mentioning his name. “We’ve seen nationalism distorted into nativism, forgotten the dynamism that immigration has always brought to America,” Bush said. “We see a fading confidence in the value of free markets and international trade, forgetting that conflict, instability and poverty follow in the wake of protectionism. We’ve seen the return of isolationist sentiments, forgetting that American security is directly threatened by the chaos and despair of distant places.” He went on to denounce “bigotry” and “white supremacy” in any form as “blasphemy against the American creed,” echoing the joint statement he released in the aftermath of the violence in Charlottesville, which the president largely failed to condemn.

Mindless slander...

Those are all mischaracterizations or total fabrication.

He should be in the gallows.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

Of course I don’t agree with Bush on this. It does show, I think, that Bush is closer to the Left and the part of government I despise than I once thought.

[DoughtyOne]

Two things telegraphed who Bush was for me.

One, when he fixed education in Texas, he did it by tossing $30 billion dollars at the problem.

Two, he advocated for Amnesty.

I didn’t vote for him the first time around.

I didn’t want to give Lurch as shot at the Oval Office, so I felt compelled to vote for him the second time around.

I took a pass on McCain too.

There’s only so far I’m willing to go when it comes to backing Leftards from our side of the isle.

WTF, The average Joe Meatball or Betty Housecoat can’t be seen in a photograph in social media holding a red, white and blue plastic drinking cup on the Fourth of July out of the real fear that people responsible for deciding who gets hired and who gets kicked to the curb, will assume that those cups were filled with an alcoholic beverage, and that it may not have been their first and only cupful either...(prescription drug abuse and addiction is more tolerable?) while these ex-government agency creeps assume that they, their skullduggery, subterfuge and generally dysfunctional attitudes towards the population are supposed to not just be tolerated, but appreciated by their fellow Americans. Not me, though...I say LOCK THEM UP! Lock ‘em up, monitor and scrutinize every last piece of correspondence sent and received, and in order to send a strong message, we should probably execute at least one of them so that the people who need to be reminded can have the chance to think twice before they go as rogue as the Deep State has gone.

I tried to believe in Bush/McCain/Romney. Maybe Dole would have tried to do better than those guys, but he wasn’t the campaigner nor manager that Trump is.
