White House: Donald Trump May Revoke Security Clearances for Former Obama Officials CHARLIE SPIERING 23 Jul 2018President Donald Trump is considering revoking the security clearances from former intelligence officials who served under former President Barack Obama, according to White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders. “Not only is the president looking to take away Brennan’s security clearance, he’s also looking into the clearances of Comey, Clapper, Hayden, Rice, and McCabe,” Sanders said during the White House press briefing. The list features prominent critics of the Obama administration who had access to top-secret intelligence. Sanders said that the president was concerned that former officials were politicizing their institutional knowledge from the country’s top intelligence agencies. The list includes: Former FBI Director James Comey Former CIA Director John Brennan Director of the National Security Agency Michael Hayden, (former) Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe Former National Security Advisor Susan Rice Sanders responded to reporter questions after Sen. Rand Paul floated a suggestion about Trump taking away security clearances from Brennan. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/07/23/sarah-sanders-confirms-donald-trump-may-revoke-security-clearances-for-obama-officials/ Add to that list, others who should have their security clearances lifted. Samantha Power Eric Holder Ben Rhodes John Kerry Hillary Clinton.... and every other former employee of the US Government.

Bibles can't be stacked high enough for Comey and McCabe to swear on that I would believe anything they say. Let's wait for the "official" report on who has security clearances...and who doesn't. IP: Logged |

Trump pulls security clearance of ex-CIA Director John Brennan ‘Mr. Brennan’s lying and recent conduct characterized by increasingly frenzied commentary is wholly inconsistent with access to the nation’s most closely held secrets.’ REBECCA MORIN 08/15/2018
In addition, Sanders said, the administration is evaluating clearances for former FBI Director James Comey, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former National Security Agency Director Michael Hayden, former national security adviser Susan Rice, former FBI attorney Lisa Page, former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, former FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, whose security clearance was deactivated after he was fired earlier this year, and Bruce Ohr, who is still in the Justice Department although he was demoted from associate deputy attorney general. “More broadly, the issue of Mr. Brennan’s security clearance raises larger questions about the practice of former officials maintaining access to our nation’s most sensitive secrets long after their time in government has ended,” Sanders said. http://www.politico.com/story/2018/08/15/trump-pulls-security-clearan ce-of-ex-cia-director-brennan-778791

Brennan was a registered member of the Communist party. And you answered your own question. Why should former employees retain their security clearances?IP: Logged |

Actually no, he wasn't. He voted for a communist candidate once while in college. Do you understand the difference? Like people who voted for Stein or wotsisname because they didn't like T or C.These on the list are people who will be questioned for the russia investigation. Security clearances will help their testimony's accuracy. More and more your fearless leader looks like a man peeing his pants.. instead of a man who wants to hear facts. Some have already lost those clearances...SO why threaten them? Just to look tough? His favorite posture innit IP: Logged |

This partisan hack goes on MSNBC every day making far-fetched claims about President Trump, so his clearance had to be revoked to prevent it from looking like he had some kind of special access backing his nonsensical claims.IP: Logged |

You mean because he's in a position to know things DT wants to remain under the rug. Tho i know it's inconceivable to you a lot of people honestly think he's not fit for the job. And they have the right to say so. Anyone who believes the partisan hacks on Fox who tell them who is a partisan hack, well... condolences IP: Logged |

I don't know what he says on msnbc but i hear he thinks the Prez is a serious security risk. How would he know, after decades in national security? 🙄😳😱🤪One thing is apparent..DonWan is a terrible judge of character. One after another his "best ever" cabinet members and aides turn into cowards in his own eyes and words. So is he negligent or ignorant? IP: Logged |

He's already abused his position and lied to Congress about it. He doesn't deserve to flip burgers and drop fries, much less be entrusted with our nation's classified secrets.IP: Logged |

That's just the problem with Brennan. He pretends he knows..from his intelligence contacts...things his audience doesn't know about the President. Yet, when Brennan testified in front for congressional committees...he knew nothing, nothing, nothing. His security clearance lends a patina of credibility to his bloviating nonsense which is totally false. Further, Brennan broke security clearance RULES. In order to hold..or keep a security clearance, the holder must abide by the same rules of conduct as they would have in the government job they held. That conduct does NOT include going on CNN or MSNBC and calling the President of the United States a Traitor. Give it up. Brennan, the drooling, incompetent press, leftists and you are not going to win. Trump has full authority to yank security clearances...on his own authority and more are going to be yanked beyond Brennans'. IP: Logged |

It is no one's fault but DonWan's that this looks like spite and muzzling. Leftist or not. I tend to agree with McCarthy on this... many of these people have already lost their clearances and the rest could have been terminated as a matter of course 18 months ago.. however they are being used as punishment of critics, the only reason to threaten people already gone... and because nothing so competent as taking care of business occurs to this administration. Its all about appearances and ratings and backpatting. http://www.nationalreview.com/2018/08/john-brennan-security-clearance-revocation-ju stified/ IP: Logged |

BS Brennan is free to drag his soap box down to any corner in America and continue his ranting, raving and incoherent, hysterical babbling. He's also free to go on any network..so called news show, and do the same. What Brennan cannot continue to do is pose as a person with a top secret security clearance to bolster the credibility of his hysterical bullshiiite on the public airwaves. IP: Logged |

Here is full transcript of Brennan interviewed by Maddow about the whole schtick. Please quote anywhere that he is abusing his inside knowledge or lying about the President.

Ok, here one:"BRENNAN: Well, if these were formal times, I would have expected it. But these are not normal times. These are quite frankly very frightening times. So, I didn’t expect any adherence to process, any adherence to the steps and measures and regulations that exist by order. I think Mr. Trump has demonstrated time and time again that he believes that just because he has the authority to do these things, that he has, in fact, the right to do it irrespective of what is truly the appropriate thing to do. That's right Brennan. The President has the authority to yank your security clearance and that authority confers the RIGHT to yank your security clearance. Further Brennan, the President sets the rules and processes for all Executive Branch Agencies. Everyone in the Executive Branch works for President Trump. He doesn't need your approval, doesn't need the current DCIs' approval, doesn't need Homeland Security approval...or anyone else's approval to yank your security clearance. Your continued access to secret or confidential information through your security clearance was predicated upon your conduct conforming to rules found in the agency handbook. You violated those rules and lost your security clearance. Boo Hoo! IP: Logged |

Where is he lying or giving away sensitive info? Answer, he isn't. Even you agree with him factually.Oh wait I forgot. There's facts, and WH facts. You might want to be careful admitting Brennan spoke factual truth... IP: Logged |

Maybe if you listened you would understand people a little better. He said he's not in a position to comment on whether DT colluded with Russia to win the election.. or anything else..or not. I realize the prompts from the right tend towards demonizing all criticism of their champion... but he didn't say thatIP: Logged |
