An embarrassment to the CIA
American Thinker ^ | August 17, 2018 | Silvio Canto, Jr.

Posted on 08/17/2018 9:28:18 AM PDT by jazusamo

From Rear Adm. Sidney W. Souers, who had the job for a few months in 1946, to the current CIA director, Gina Haspel, selected by President Trump, it's a long list of names that most Americans would not recognize.

In other words, we don't see the CIA director in the headlines that much, unless there is something going on like September 11. We definitively have not seen former CIA directors doing politics on partisan cable news shows.

Enter John Brennan, who just had his security clearance revoked.

In the past, these clearances have been a courtesy to former officials, who may have to be consulted at a moment's notice on an issue that they worked on.

It's a good idea, but it's a two-way street.

Brennan became another voice of the resistance, and that disqualifies him from a security clearance. It's not unreasonable for the Trump administration to believe that Brennan's nightly performances on MSNBC were irresponsible.

I agree with Jim Henson:

I would add that as a commie sympathizer Brennan should never have been confirmed as CIA Director.

He’s also a Muslim sympathizer and by all accounts he converted to Islam himself. In Zero Dark 30 he was depicted getting up off his prayer rug.

President Trump, thanks for removing the security clearance of the Jihadist/Commie Brennan.

Please remove the security clearances of the FBI/DOJ thugs shown below. That will eliminate any job opportunities in the DC swamp by these anti America thugs, where they need a valid and up to date Security Clearance.

Each day as more of the DOJ/FBI attempted coup of President Trump is revealed.

The more valid and outstanding is Travis McGee's jpg, which shows and tells us, what was happening in the DOJ/FBI months before all of these emerging reports.

Months, ago Travis Mcgee started posting his Smug Thug shots of the seditionist thugs in the DOJ/FBI shown below.

James Angleton, who was chief of CIA Counterintelligence from 1954 to 1975 (his job was to catch spies within the CIA) would have been shocked beyond belief had he ever known that someone who voted for the Communist party ticket for President of the U.S. would become Director of Central Intelligence.

Does that sound like a responsible man to you? Can you find another example of a former CIA director who was that partisan after leaving office?

Yep...Michael Hayden has been every bit as disgusting as Brennan.

When Brennan wrote there was collusion then he is making an assertion Trump can know to be 100% unfounded.

Trump has the duty to safeguard the nation and Trump could only reasonably conclude that Brennan is of unsound mind and should not hold a federal security clearance.

Trump won because he reached out to the voters in Michigan and Ohio.

The people of Michigan have not forgotten how Democratic National Committee head Howard Dean kicked the state when it was down in 2008.

Communist muslims like Brennan would only be appointed by ineligible usurpers like Obama.

Smellie Ohr is a Russian CIA Expert. I think I see the plan. They all expected Trump to react, and Smellie was going to reach into her bag of double spy contacts to get people to verify claims against Trump. Trump has taken his time, and all these names are becoming household words. Look at Strzok and Brennan and tell me they are not disturbed individuals. And remember, Bill Clinton protested against America during college years while in Russia.

I think George HW Bush could be considered partisan.
