On the topic generally - everyone besides these Beltway elites who ever held a security clearance had theirs revoked the instant it was no longer needed for them to do a job that required it. I had a BI Top Secret back in the day, and literally the day the job ended that required me having that clearance, it was revoked.
It's standard operating procedure for like 99.9% of the people who ever get a clearance. The instant the government no longer needs your services, you have that clearance revoked.
Brennan and his ilk are pissed because of exactly what Rand Paul has said - they had monetized that clearance and it was the primary source of their income. Trump took away their golden goose. But security clearances aren't gifts, rights, or anything of the sort, so Brennan was indeed long overdue to having his clearance yanked.
Brennan uses his voice a lot, and he uses it to lie.
Brennan lied about hacking Senate Intelligence computers, later admitted he lied about it and apologized (oh what a gentleman), he lied about drone strikes killing civilians saying they hadn't taken out a single civilian, he briefed President Obama to the opposite, and is either lying about not knowing who paid for the Steele Dossier or is incredibly incompetent about his CIA of which he was Director- not! Then he lied about them not depending on the Steele Dossier for anything important.
This guy should have been arrested long before now.
He lied about Harry Reid & John McCain's part in the Dossier.
The arguments as to the right and wrong of this action we can carry on til doomsday
This much can be said -when people are clearly hostile to him -mr trump defends himself
With what means are legally at his disposal
On a national level that is now seen as immoral behavior
Prior administrations did not stay within the law in their use of power
That was somehow acceptable
In a recent statement 15 senior former senior intelligence officials expressed their strong opposition to actual or threatened removal of security clearances from former government officials. All of us believe it is critical to protect classified information from unauthorized disclosure. But we believe equally strongly that former government officials have the right to express their unclassified views on what they see as critical national security issues without fear of being punished for doing so. Our signatures below do not necessarily mean that we concur with the opinions expressed by former CIA Director Brennan or the way in which he expressed them. What they do represent, however, is our firm belief that the country will be weakened if there is a political litmus test applied before seasoned experts are allowed to share their views.
But nobody has lost the right to express their unclassified views on anything. I have a hard time believing that those of you on the left are really this stupid. There is no litmus test, everyone is still free to share their views.
