Architect of bin Laden raid issues stunning rebuke of Trump (Adm. McRaven)
CNN ^ | Aug. 16, 2018 | CNN

"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."

One problem: national security classified info is NOT subject to "freedom of speech". When people get a security clearance they promise to guard the info and only release it on a need to know basis to others who also have the same level of clearance.

Brennan committed serious security violations, for which people normally go to jail. And he should too.

Sounds like the Admiral needs to be added to the watch list, a friend of Brennan’s is no patriot

Nice, everybody is putting their cards on the table, claiming sides ...

Makes things easier

The ‘new’ issue is this fella who wants his security clearance removed. Grant him his wish. It’s about as important as suspending Bill Clintons law license.

Alright, what is McRaven’s angle. Corrupt? Blackmail? Angling for high paying job?

The swamp continues to strike back. The target has been growing day by day.

It’s called culling the goats from the sheep. Lately they have been self-identifying.

Sorry, it’s Adm. William McRaven. My cut and paste got screwed up.

But indeed, McRaven needs to be added to the watch list.

From the same asshole who gave that scum a muzzie burial at sea. Should have put his head on a pike, bathed it in pig’s blood and used it decorate the US embassy.

If this Admiral McRaven dufus thinks Brennan is “one of the finest public servants I have ever known,” than he is as big an ahole as Brennan.

Brennan plotted with others to undermine and overthrow the duly elected President of the United States.

What part of that treason does this McRaven loon not understand?

The "architect"? Isn't that what Karl Rove claimed to be? Ha ha. Rather a tarnished handle, I would say. Maybe McRaven was also the "architect" of the failed Tora Bora fiasco too.

I'd love to see him on the same ticket as Egghead: McRaven/McMuffin 2020!

I wish this ***hole architect would fill us in on why that old commie bastard Brennan needs a security clearance and why I can’t have one. Anybody ever heard of this clown? I’ve read just about every SEAL book that has ever came out and I’ve never heard of him.

Thanks for that info.

You can bet that CNN did their Censorship by Omission on that one.

And it is probable that Bin Laden was dead a long time before this sorry assed Admiral “took him out”. This sorry assed Admiral is Deep State.
