Stocks lining Pennsylvania Avenue would be nice as well. We could throw feces at the traitors and those guilty of sedition. I vote that we out all the Obama traitors in every office, agency, and department in DC.

Sounds like we hit a chord. Sounds like we may need Trump to remove more clearances.

Trump must be a much more nicer, patient guy than I am. If it were me, I would have jerked these SOBs clearance the first day in office.

Whenever anyone else quits a job, all keys, etc. must be turned in and all computer access and copy machine usage is canceled.

How does one’s access to sensitive and classified information silence their ability to speak or challenge others verbally?

Mine was suspended, not revoked, when I made an employer change. The new employer
didn’t require one. Two years later
I was again employed by the DOD. My
clearance was reinstated. A secret level
clearance goes up for review every ten
years. A top secret clearance (Brennan’s
level) is up for review every five years.
If there is no request for review, the
clearance expires. The thing that is
going to hurt Brennan is the revocation.
He can’t apply for any future positions
that may require a clearance.

Not for nothing but when is this old broad going to drop dead? She's been hanging around like a raccoon in a garbage dumpster behind a Burger King. I can't imagine millennials even knowing who she is or voting for her.

He’s not “silenced”. He can still open that big ugly mouth anytime he wants. He just won’t have access to classified documents to use to try and overthrow the sitting President. Brennan = garbage.

When I left my job at the DIA, I lost all of my clearances.

That's exactly what I thought Brennan has been saying for several weeks. But the Dems seem to chuck verbal hand grenades at anything.

They'd even chuck verbal hand grenades at Santa Claus... err, that's probably how "Happy Holidays" got started.

The president is rolling up his sleeves and getting to work for America. The Democrats are too busy throwing spitwads and excrement all over the place to worry about the American people. Have faith folks. The real America knows who’s on their side and who’s not. The Dems are in for another licking in November.

Brennen will be tried for treason and if found guilty, killed or face 20 years in GITMO.

Hey hypocrite Pelosi, I never heard you say anything against Lois Lerner when she was shutting up conservatives.

I do not give a phuck who the government employee is but all government employees should be subject to immediate removal of any and all security clearances upon retirement, firing, or leaving said government position, PERIOD!

So exercising your first amendment rights requires an active security clearance? Who knew?

infringing on Brennan's First Amendment rights by taking this action

This is such bs. The clearance is a privilege not a right. If you're not working you don't need it.

Why should this asshat get to keep a clearance if he is no longer an employee?

Exactly!

Since when do critics need access to classified to have their free speech protected? Nancy is even lower IQ than Mad Max-ine....
