From the moment that President Trump revoked former CIA Director John Brennan’s security clearance, the mainstream media, the intelligence community, the Democrats… the entire Deep State, if you will — has been attacking Trump as if this is an unprecedented act. Anytime a member of the military leaves military service, his or her security clearance is revoked. It’s standard procedure. They no longer have a job that requires them to have a security clearance, so it’s revoked.
It doesn’t work that way in DC, however. High-ranking officials keep their security clearances and they turn that access into a lucrative second career. Brennan is an unmitigated, foaming-at-the-mouth, Obama First Before Country loyalist. On top of that, he’s a world class jerk.
After President Trump’s historic diplomatic victory in meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Brennan starting barking like a dog from his new mainstream media desk that Trump had committed “treason” — a crime so serious that it can carry the death penalty. In response, President Trump threatened to start yanking security clearances from all of the Obama administration has-beens.
That would be a good start. An even better option would be a new bill passed by Congress that automatically revokes security clearances once a bureaucrat leaves public service. The Swamp would hate that!
Lou Dobbs offers a great analysis of the real reason why President Trump revoked Brennan’s security clearance, and it has nothing to do with Russian collusion. Check out the video below for some of Dobbs’ trademarked ‘truth bombs!’
