As always, soliciting FReeper comments, observations, and opinions on the shows.

Yer dam hunnert Larri.

FOX News certainly is not 'fair and balanced' on Lefty Chris Wallace today. They all seem to have amnesia on the vast sins of disgraced former Clown Director Brennan.

Here is a 2012 artcle on the leaks regarding the underwear bomber.

Brennan was giving CNN advice based on his knowkedge of state secrets....paraphrasing: "If you only knew what I know, you idiots would all be screaming for Trump's impeachment, arrest, and execution."

When the CIA head lies to Congress, has spied on Congress, sets up Harry Reid to leak the Pee Pee Dossier (along with NoName's collusion), leaked about a double-agent in the underwear bomber case to the media, and engineers a method to abuse foreign intelligence agencies to help spy on political opponents, then uses his reputation to monetize his knowledge to do sensational news stories as a newly minted media celebrity, SURE...a reasonable person would say his security clearance should be revoked. A reasonable person would think he committed crimes.

As far as Trump suppressing the free speech of this crook, the minute his clearance is revoked, Brennan Tweets, writes a op-ed for a flagship icon of the MSM, and appears in multiple interviews. I didn't see him muzzled, suppressed, or silenced. Quite the opposite; he exploits the revocation by speaking louder as the prime spokesmodel of the Resistance Movement (on par with low IQ Maxine Waters) and gains sympathy from other Deep Staters who should also have their credentials pulled.

Brennan needs to be arrested for many reasons.

Not surprised, but disappointed by Admiral Mullen’s responses today on FNS. They are all sticking together on this issue of removal of security clearances:

Admiral Mike Mullen (ret), Former Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff told Wallass that pulling security clearances was reminiscent of Nixon and McCarthy eras.

WTH?

Best Tweet of the day! Gov. Mike Huckabee ‏Verified account @GovMikeHuckabee 2h2 hours ago Media going crazy over why @realDonaldTrump doesn't have a dog. Can't say, but I do know why he doesn't have a parrot: some liberal publisher would offer it a book deal!
