Something HAS to be done about him at this point...

Good luck with that. The rule of law is dead, as a twitter follower says.

One per week.

Remove security clearances from one Deep Stater every week.

Make a big show of it.

For what purpose would Brennan need a security clearance since he has become a private citizen????

Former high ranking members of the intelligence community often retain their security clearance so that current members can talk with them about issues and get their input on important on going cases.

That said, anyone stupid enough to ask Brennan his opinion should be fired and lose their security clearance as well!

Struck / Stroke (pronouciation). Some like Struck/Stroke were mainly bagmen but did the bulk of the dirty work. The idea could have originated anywhere and there won’t be much if any papertrail for conspiracy.

Remove the clearances ASAP. It's not about making a show of it, it's about the security of our country.

That is a great idea. Perhaps Clapper has already thought of that which is why he started to nudge Brennan in the general direction of the bus. Not enough of a nudge IMO. Strip Clapper!

This appears to be a warning shot. Perhaps the co-conspirators are concerned that Brennan will reveal too much and are thinking of some kind of "intervention."

Clapper and Burr are telling Brennan to be more "discreet."

You know when the most dangerous time of a bank robbery is..?

After it’s all over and they’re whacking up the loot:

BAM..!

And suddenly it’s all black.

“The widely criticized move was seen as a punitive measure against one of Trump’s most outspoken critics.”

Let him criticize all he would like (as in freedom) — but he’s nothing more than a commentator now, with a leaky mouth.

There’s no good reason for him to have access to anything to do with national security.

In my opinion, whenever a person leaves the service of our country, be it military, intelligence, state or otherwise, the security clearances they have been awarded should be withdrawn as was mine when I left the military.

It doesn’t matter if you are of the highest rank or the lowest order, it should be withdrawn and if a clearance is needed in your future, you should have to reapply...PERIOD...

Brennan is ventilating because he knows he should go to prison.

He also knows, because of his crimes, he will be standing before a military tribunal at Gitmo.
No resort prison for him.

Brennan must be a bigger problem than we realize if Flapper/Clapper is saying this about Brennan!:

“Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said Sunday that he thinks former CIA Director John Brennan’s rhetoric is becoming an issue “in and of itself.”

“John and his rhetoric have become an issue in and of itself,” Clapper said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “John is subtle like a freight train and he’s gonna say what’s on his mind.”

Clapper’s comments came in response to an op-ed penned by Brennan in The New York Times this week, in which he wrote that President Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 election.

Clapper said he empathized with Brennan, but voiced concerns for Brennan’s fiery rhetoric toward Trump and his administration.”

“Wow, where was that published?”

I received the letter in an email from a friend, but a little research (GOOGLE) turned up this link:

Open letter to Mr. Brennan by Charles Faddis.

That will leave a mark. Not sure any paper will publish it though.
