"This action is part of a broader effort by Mr. Trump to suppress freedom of speech & punish critics. It should gravely worry all Americans, including intelligence professionals, about the cost of speaking out. My principles are worth far more than clearances. I will not relent," Brennan tweeted after the announcement. iam McRaven, the man who oversaw the 2011 Navy SEAL raid that killed Osama bin Laden, issued a stunning rebuke of President Donald Trump's decision to revoke the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan on Thursday, defending the former spy chief as "one of the finest public servants I have ever known."

Anyone who wants to give up their security clearance for Brennan is welcome to do it... And if they’re still working - they’re also welcome to quit their jobs and retire.
The day I retire after 40 years of faithful work, I will turn in my key, clean out my desk, return my ID, and thereafter walk through the security station like everyone else. Freedom of speech my ass Brennan.
Thank you Admiral!....consider it done!..
“Draining the Swamp” takes volunteers as well...
Thank you for your service!
He didn’t “oversee” the raid. He was commander of the Joint Special Operations Command at the time of the raid - which means HIS butt was in Washington DC. No way was he the “Architect of bin Laden raid”! Just a politician in uniform - a 3-star admiral at the time.

AS with Benghazi - the loss of all these high value special operators , and the air crew , of Extortion 17 has NEVER been settled or addressed . McRaven , on behalf of Brennan and Obama , was a major player in throwing up as much smoke and mirrors as possible in the aftermath . Like Obama and Clinton lying into the faces of the families of the fallen ,McRaven went and directly lied into the faces of the families of the fallen . The Vaughns at least . People forget this shit . I never forget and I call upon President Trump to do the right thing and bring the miscreants , who’s orders and policies resulted in the lose of all these good men . INCLUDING former President Barack Obama . Ignore the media , do the right thing . Justice for the heroes of Extortion 17 . Prosecution for Bill McRaven for his role in the cover-up . A sickening Brennan crony . It does not surprise me a bit that the POS pipes up about Brennan now .Good ! We know where he (still) stands . Where does he live ?
Kinda reminds one of Shinseki. Lobbying for a job in the next administration.
Is this chump still on active duty. I dont think military officers are supposed to publicly criticize the CIC. John K Singlaub.
Yes to all you say.
And I doubt the admiral had any role in the raid but a peripheral one in the logistics.
SEALs ? Remmeber Jesse Ventura , aka James George Janos, was a Navy SEAL (UDT). The pinheads that act as bodyguards for Michael Moore are supposedly Navy SEALs ...I think it’s time for the REAL former Navy SEALs to start policing the ranks of their retired . Shitheads like this McRaven guy . Do the right thing gentlemen . You know the code ....
This ‘hero’ admiral has nothing to do hang his hat on. Where is the body of Bin Laden? Like everything else about the Obama presidency, nothing big graft, smoke, and mirrors .
McRaven has some role with University of Texas .
He is an Obama fellatior 1st Class
Architect of Pearl Harbor raid issues stunning rebuke of Roosevelt (Adm. Yamamoto)
sadly, that ahole part might be very, very, very true....
This Swamp Creature tried to tell the public that Brennan was an honest, patriotic public servant while ignoring the fact that Brennan ordered the CIA to spy on Congress, lied about such and then was caught red-handed. That should have been grounds for firing, and if not that, impeachment and removal. The fact that the douchebag who wrote this editorial can pretend that such never happened and to act like we are too stupid to not drink from the vat of Kool-Aid he served up is telling. They all think they can lie with impunity and never pay a price. And given past history with Holder, Lerner, Clapper, Brennan and Mueller lying to Congress, the sad truth is, he’s probably right. Until Congress and the DOJ gets serious about prosecuting official lies, the Republic is in dire danger from these miscreants.
Political affiliation is what I smell here, not patriotism or love of country etc. etc.
These Trump Trashers will stop at nothing to put their politics ahead of everything else.
RIP DevSix
