I’m fairly certain that the security clearance I held while serving as a USMC Captain and the S-2 (Intelligence Officer) of my last squadron was terminated on the day I was separated from the service.

Access to classified information, even when you have a certain clearance level, is also dependent on your “Need to Know”.

Anything Brennan, et al. “need to know”, they can get from the leaks published by the NYT, WaPo, CNN, etc.

No, pulling their clearances is just good commonsense policy. The punishment commences after the co-conspirators are prosecuted, convicted and incarcerated.

Comey the traitor should be in Gitmo being water boarded every hour on the hour.

Don't really if Comey identifies with any of the LGBTQXYZ letters, but in a South Park context, he is totally gay.

Such a moral scold. I wonder if he was that way in his elemtary school and middle school and highschool years ... ... ... and if he was a loner. Some kids EARN being loners and outsiders, because they are so hard to be around.

Imagine being around this guy ... ... ... the judgement and moral superiority bleeding out of his ... whatever.

Such arrogance and pride is a sin, I'm not talking about in the personal moral sense of right and wrong, although there's that too, but I'm talking about the way a chronic and continuous sin, one that is a moment to moment part of one's identity and every thought and action, especially one expressed through the prism of pride and ego as opposed to mere ignorance and lazy unawareness, engenders the silently accumulating disdain of the entire physical universe itself at the deepest level, attracting God's just punishment.

There is no joy even during the time the sinner is adding energy to the tsunami that will eventually crash into his life. While the tsumani is still travelling in the ocean, and in the case of chronic sin, collecting energy, it's 3 miles long and 3 feet high, you don't even notice it passing beneath your boat, but when it crashes on your shore ... ... ...

I don't directly wish Comey harm nor know God's intentions. But I do pray that God's will be done. I suspect there will be suffering.

Comey spelled "persecute" wrong.

I have suspicions that this asshole will still be getting his classified information from someone who still has clearance.

I am sure you are right. The difference now it will be a very serious thing for anyone to give him classified information. This move is a baited trap, hope they walk right into it. Normally I would think people would be smart enough not to, but this whole bunch is so arrogant I won't be surprised.

He sure takes a long long time to do it... this doesn’t sound like any kind of petty tit for tat.

“Moral scolds” are hate driven, not love driven.

And sometimes “moral scoldhood” gets confused with conservatism... actually I see that fairly frequently on FR and it’s just trite and ugly.

Electing comrade obama punished a nation. Some mistakes we never stop paying for.

Starring in the new version of “One Fly Over the Cuckoo Nest” is the rising star of cable TV and regular television, James “I’m a Raving Lunatic and Liar” Comey.

Get your first edition James Comey t-shirts that say, “Jail isn’t so bad” or “The bitch set me up”.

Every time these morons open their mouths we get converts. It’s like recruitment.

There’s Donald Trump working his ass off for the American people day in day out, not even taking a salary, and these elite twits come out with vitriol that makes no sense.

Comey, you can’t possibly be that stupid.

#5. Execute them first. Then revoke their security clearance, just to be sure!

Brennan called the sitting President of the United States a traitor, while helping try to destroy his presidency. He’s lucky he hasn’t been arrested, let alone have his security clearance revoked. Why does he need it anyway? He doesn’t work for the Federal government anymore. Logic/reason. Brennan and Comey - please go away. For the love of all that is good in the world.

AUGUST 29, 2016 : (HARRY REID SENDS LETTER TO ?COMEY?) The documents also reveal that former Senate majority leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, sent a letter on Aug. 29, 2016, asking former FBI Director James Comey to investigate the allegations, which were presented to him by then CIA Director John Brennan. Brennan had briefed Reid privately days earlier on the counterintelligence investigation and documents suggest Reid was also staying in close touch with Comey over the issues.
The documents, which include text messages from embattled FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and his paramour Lisa Page, also reveal that former Obama White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough was involved in the initial investigation into Trump’s campaign. Comey, Brennan, and McDonough were the “highest-ranking officials at the FBI, CIA and White House” and were working in concert to ensure an investigation was initiated, congressional members told this reporter....
In the letter from Reid to Comey, Reid cites information Brennan shared with him that Trump advisor, referencing Carter Page, and other “high ranking sanctioned individuals” in Moscow were meeting. Reid asks Comey to launch an investigation by the FBI into the Trump Campaign and the Kremlin.
The letter, which was obtained by this reporter, refers to reports briefed by Brennan but gives “almost no evidence” regarding the Trump campaign and Russia, according to congressional investigators.
READ: HARRY REID’S LETTER TO JAMES COMEY
For example, the letter only states that “questions have been raised about whether a Trump advisor who has been highly critical of U.S. and European economic sanctions on Russia, and who has conflicts of interests due to his investments in Russian energy conglomerate Gazprom, met with high-ranking sanctioned individuals in Moscow in July of 2016.”

I hope this is just the beginning of the punishment for these pukes. Comey is missing the fact that people who engage in unlawful coup attempts deserve to be punished much more severely than having their clearance yanked.
