Bring it on. I have one word for John Brennan – discovery.
Today National Security Adviser John Bolton on Sunday suggested that former CIA Director John Brennan might have misused classified information, and that the “unprecedented leaks” from the administration may prompt broader changes in how security clearances are handled.
John Brennan threatens to sue Donald Trump after president revokes his security clearance

By Chris Stevenson New York, The Independent:
Former CIA Director John Brennan is threatening legal action against Donald Trump after the president stripped him of his security clearance in an unprecedented move.
Mr Trump’s decision has sparked outrage among the intelligence community and more than 60 former intelligence officers have denounced the president. Mr Brennan has made it clear he will not be cowed by the administration’s actions, saying that he believes Mr Trump is trying to stifle his critics.
“It was a clear signal that if you cross him he will use whatever tools he might have at his disposal to punish you,” Mr Brennan told NBC’s Meet the Press.
Trump condemned by 12 former CIA chiefs
Mr Brennan called the move an example of Mr Trump’s “egregious” approach to his position and power.
“I am going to do whatever I can to try and prevent these abuses occurring in the future and if that means going to court I will do that,” he added.
Late last week, Mr Brennan wrote an opinion piece for The New York Times in which he wrote that Mr Trump’s repeated denials of collusion with Russia over meddling in the 2016 election are “hogwash”.
Mr Trump and the White House has sought to paint Mr Brennan – one of Mr Trump’s most vociferous critics – as a liar.
In revoking the security clearance, Mr Trump said that 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 and facilities, the very aim of our adversaries, which is to sow division and chaos.”
However, while the intelligence community backs Mr Brennan, some ex-intelligence officials have warned that the former CIA director’s escalating rhetoric with Mr Trump could become an “issue”.
“John and his rhetoric have become an issue in and of itself,” former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said on CNN’s State of the Union. “John is subtle like a freight train and he’s gonna say what’s on his mind.”
Mr Clapper said that he empathised with Mr Brennan, but that such fiery rhetoric could endanger the real message.
“I think that the common denominator among all of us [in the intelligence community] that have been speaking up … is genuine concern about the jeopardy and threats to our institutions,” he said.

5 years agoReply to IzlamDownpressesHumanityAgreed. If Brennan was any kind of “spymaster”, he would know the three simple rules of STFU to protect sensitive info:
1. Trust no one!
2. You can’t tell your friends without telling your enemies.
3. Those closest to you can do you the most harm.5 years agoReply to IzlamDownpressesHumanity& once we have all that info, a few More times, because he DESERVES it!!!
5 years agoBrennan is such a POS I can’t believe that this former commie actually achieved such a high-ranking and important position in the US Gov’t! Oh, yes, I almost forgot, BHO had a hard-on for Brennan’s Islamist beliefs as a convert to Pisslam! And he has the chutzpah to demand that his security clearance be reinstated even though he’s no longer in gov’t service and Trump needs him for “advice” like I need another hole in the head (my mouth, nostrils, eyes and ears are enough already!!).
5 years agoOnce you file suit against someone your life becomes an open book. Brennan has more to hide than some other public characters like, say, Stormy Daniels, and we already know what is under her little tutu.
5 years agoThe coming from the same goon who ran his version of “Fast and Furious” in the Middle East. See you in court, mother f***er!
5 years agoNow you see why I call them white Negroes. You can’t get rid of them without them blaming you for something. Taking you to court and SUING you.
5 years agoThis individual just does not know the American Constitution.
Very sad, that c r i m i n a l s actually run this country for awhile, very sad.
5 years agoReply to VladDon’t kid yourself….they know the Constitution better than the average citizen….it’s the object of their hatred and the impetus for all they do in their efforts to bring it down.
5 years agoHe is a dead man for he has had many people murdered and the gig is up!
5 years agoReply to James Stamulis….I’m thinking Seth Rich…and a couple of others since that DNC crapola…
5 years agoMan, what an evil-looking monster…
He can sue all he wants.. A security clearance is a PRIVILEGE and can be revoked for any reason whatsoever, including, but not limited to :communist ties, national security issues, questions with their polygraph, etc..
The administration he worked for is no longer in power… So why does Brennan still need it? He doesn’t.
5 years agoMark Levin addresses this nicely. His key points are:
1. How did Brennan get a security clearance in the first place when he knowingly voted for a Stalinist?
2. Brennan is perfectly free to speak – and he has been doing so. This is not a 1st Amendment issue.
You don’t need a security clearance to talk.
3. A security clearance is a privilege NOT a right.
4. He was in charge of the CIA when all this Russia hacking business took place. Why was it allowed to happen if he was competently doing his job of protecting the USA?5 years agoReply to CreoleGumboAnswer to the first question: Papa Bush, followed by GW Bush…known Dhimmis for Islam.
Second point: You don’t get paid big bucks by the Left if you don’t have access to inside intel.
Answer to question #4: He was not and never was working for the USA’s interest. He was working for the highest bidder that would help his Marxist goals….along with his third enabler…the Muslim Marxist Obama.
If Brennan ever gets indicted….we have to indict his co-conspirators….Papa and GW Bush, Killary and Bill Clinton, Obummer, Rosenstein, Strok, and a few other shadowy characters….what a great and glorious day for America if that were ever to happen.5 years agoBring it on! And find a new definition of “Executive Privilege” in the matter of presidential hiring and firing practices when an administration is changed.
That is if there are any Constitution following judges remaining on the Federal Benches.
ANY suit of this nature SHOULD be dismissed at the outset as “frivolous.”
5 years agoReply to WillikHe will never do it….it’s just bluster for headlines at CNN….gives Waters another talking point to send out ghouls to harass and attack people.
5 years agoSOOOooo! The “intelligence” community is COMPLAINING??????
IS this not called an:
OXYMORON?
Here is the solution:
When an individual is issued a “top security clearance”, that “clearance” MUST be withdrawn when:
that individual is REASSIGNED,
that individual is DEMOTED,
that individual is PROMOTED,
that individual has BROKEN RULES,
that individual has BROKEN LAWS,
that individual RETIRES,
and finally,
that individual is FIRED.
This is how all “top security clearances” are to be handled.5 years agoThank you Mrs. Geller for the many enlightening articles which the PRESSTITUTES REFUSE to publish.
5 years agoGreetings!
The revocation of Mr. Brennan’s security clearances, by President Trump, was not only appropriate, but essential, as his unfettered access would not only restrict a complete and through investigation, making it virtually impossible to be conducted, by these various agencies, into the EX-CIA “head’s”, [JB], involvement and leading role in the “fake” Trump/Russia dossier and the undermining and illegal assault on the last presidential election. This “maneuver” by the President, will “free” the agencies “whistle-blowers” to speak openly without fear of retribution, by an individual whom by any estimation is ruthless, antagonistic and vengeful, to the point of being extremely dangerous. MAGA!! Clean the “SWAMP”!
NEXT!
Regards5 years agoObama’s boy. Also a convert to Islam
5 years agoSue for what?
ALL “former employees” from ALL previous administrations should have security clearances revoked. They are targets for being used by foreign governments.5 years agoBrennan is today’s Voldemort….Clapper, Comey, McCabe, Strok, Page, Mr. and Mrs. Orr, Rosenstein, ….all part of that group of criminals….and Killary their Queen….when do we get to see prosecutions of those doing the real COLLUSION?!
When does President Trump fire Sissy Swamp Sessions and put in a real US Attorney General? I’m thinking he’s going to do it after the Midterms…
5 years agoThanks to Trumps victory, the light is shining on all this dark, loathsome scum
5 years agoHis (Brennan) protests are way out of proportion to reality which inidicates that he has something horrendous to hide. This is where the AG must step up.
5 years agoCan I sue to get my clearance back that was cancelled once I retired from the Navy?
5 years agoNow you are a crying baby.
Exactly what I thought….
After you sold your clearance to the enemy.
.5 years agoWTF is chris douchebag stevenson, lol?!!! Using james ‘the LIAR’ clapper to attempt to bolster john ‘the Bigger LIAR’ brennan’s verbal diarrhea, hahahahaha?!!!! F Off chris, you stupid A-hole!
5 years agoBrennan is a Communist-Islamic sympathizer, he provided American Troop movements to ISIS, while in the Obama administration. He should be charged with TREASON and EXECUTED.
5 years agoTrump is a bully! It’s not going to end well. He will try to take the whole country down with him.
