Thanks for the offer to join the liberal collective.
I realize any voice outside of that collective the left wants to censor and silence to install a one party government. Its disturbing for those on the left to hear views they don't approve of.


Brennan has proven he is blinded by hate and a partisan. What ever he sees is worthless.
There is no one person that has intel or keeps a secret no one else in the CIA has knowledge of.
That would be a failure of the intel community.
When ask about collision between Russia and Trump, Brennan stated he didn't have any evidence of it. Why not take his word for it, if he is so important. Don't you trust Obama's intel people ?

So talked with cousin who has worked for several international companies over his 40-year career negotiating contracts.

He stated that it was not unusual to be contacted by former colleagues about any number of matters.

According to him, at the level Brennan was operating, there would be all sorts of information that he possessed that those currently doing the job might find valuable, such as reliable back channel communication partners, ...

Shrug.

Republicans should expect nothing less when some of these traitors leave the White house.
Political payback and deflection from the bad news, eg. Omorosa and Manafort trial. And it seems to work since this is one of the longest threads we've had in a long time.

"The White House has reportedly already drafted documents to revoke the security clearances of more former intelligence officials critical of President Trump—and plans to strategically release them to distract from negative news stories, according to The Washington Post. A senior White House official cited by the Post late Friday said White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and deputy chief of staff Bill Shine have discussed what times would be best to drop the new revoked security clearances in order to deflect from unfavorable news. Trump reportedly wants to sign “most if not all” of the upcoming revocations."

For them to do that, brennan would have to know a lot about what was being done.....


The problem with that, you can have the highest security known to man, but you still have whats called "Need to know"...which means because you have a clearance, does not mean you need to know everything.


It's pretty obvious that people who have never had a clearance are responding.....(I'm not pointing you out directly, but to others in this thread and others....)


I've had my clearance now going on for over 30 years.....

Oh, now I have TDS?

How about those 70 prior intelligence officer's that have spoken out about Trump's taking political payback on Brennan? All those guys have TDS too?

Please.

Trump admitted he revoked his clearance because of the Russia investigation.

End of story.

I have a real problem with Brennan throwing out accusations of 'treason,' claiming there is evidence of 'collusion,' but in 2017 when he had an opportunity to proffer such evidence, he said there was none. This tells me all I knew to know about this guy; I don't care how many people admire him or appreciate his 'service.'

And Paul Ryan can go straight to hell. Have a nice retirement.

Like Bruce Ohr backchanneling the Russian information into the justice dept. and through media into the public to frame Trump. That's likely to cost Bruce and Sally Yates their clearance too.

I thought they left security clearances in place so if there is an emergency and they need former agents they don't have to go through the red tape to get their help & input immediately, am I wrong?
