At war with current and former intelligence officials since before he was elected, Donald Trump on Wednesday moved to strip Barack Obama’s CIA chief of his security clearance, though worse may be in store for John Brennan, says Ray McGovern.
There’s more than meets the eye to President Donald Trump’s decision to
revoke the security clearances that ex-CIA Director John Brennan
enjoyed as a courtesy customarily afforded former directors. The
President’s move is the second major sign that Brennan is about to be
hoisted on his own petard. It is one embroidered with rhetoric charging
Trump with treason and, far more important, with documents now in the
hands of congressional investigators showing Brennan’s ringleader role
in the so-far unsuccessful attempts to derail Trump both before and
after the 2016 election.

many of us readers and viewers are concerned with former political hacks being allowed to retain their security clearance. they do so as a potential resource to future "leaders" in those leaders decision making. they are used to establish some continuity of policy which would not be available if they weren't able to be kept in the information loops.
ReplyDeletesome people, while it isn't legal to just shoot them out of hand, are kept as far as possible from the information loop as possible because they just won't shut up and keep their mouths shut. a public trial would be more damaging to the national interests than not trying them for treasonous activities.
that said, does any one think that Hildabeast still has her security clearance???
I am sure.
