So it sounds like President Trump is considering revoking ex-Obama officials’ security clearance. All I can say is what took him so long?
 
To the Left of course this is just more confirmation that Trump is a Nazi. In reality, it’s common sense. Not to mention self-preservation. CIA Director John Brennan, Obama Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Obama national security adviser Susan Rice, as well as Obama-appointed FBI Director James Comey, Andrew McCabe and the like, have done nothing but undermine this president since his first day in office. Remember these long faces after the election?
 
 

Senator Rand Paul is strongly encouraging the president in this action, especially with regard to former CIA director Brennan ~

Is John Brennan monetizing his security clearance? Is John Brennan making millions of dollars divulging secrets to the mainstream media with his attacks on @realDonaldTrump ?

What’s shocking about John Brennan is not just that he was given – and still maintains – security clearance, it’s the fact that he was ever actually approved as CIA director to begin with. The man was – and is – a communist sympathizer(!) as George Neumayr at The American Spectator points out ~

John Brennan, who supported the Soviet-controlled American Communist Party, meets the textbook definition of a useful idiot for the Russians. At the height of the Cold War, he was rooting for the Reds, casting his vote in 1976 for Gus Hall, the American Communist Party’s presidential candidate. If anyone is adept at serving as a dupe for the Russians, it is John Brennan. To paraphrase John Kerry, he was for them before he was against them […]
 
Anybody familiar with Brennan’s past, which includes not only supporting the evil empire of the Soviets but also the evil empire of radical Islam (his time as Obama’s CIA director was marked by apologetics for the thugs of the Muslim Brotherhood, ludicrous attempts to sanitize the concept of jihad, and nonstop whitewashing of the problem of Islamic terrorism), can only laugh at his anti-Trump antics. That the media gives this fulminating fool and fraud a platform is a measure of its own lack of seriousness and absurdly sudden hawkishness.

 
Neumayr sums up the travesty of Brennan’s career quite nicely ~

He once said that he feared his support for Soviet stooge Gus Hall threatened his entrance into the CIA in 1980. This sounds like a wild satirical parody, but it isn’t: a dupe for the Soviet Union rises to the top of the CIA, uses his position to shill for Islamic radicals, eggs the FBI into spying on the Trump campaign, then leaves the CIA only to resume the radicalism of his youth, calling for civil disobedience and the overthrow of a duly elected president. Brennan’s only expertise on treachery comes from his own.

 
And yet this charlatan – who refused to take his oath of office on the Bible – served as CIA director from March 2013 to January 2017. Brennan was chief counterterrorism advisor to U.S. President Barack Obama. His responsibilities included overseeing plans to protect the country from terrorism and respond to natural disasters, and he met with the President daily.
 
Instead, he was surreptitiously subverting U.S. security. And now, working as a senior national security and intelligence analyst for NBC News and MSNBC, he’s actively subverting Trump’s administration, outrageously characterizing the president’s performance at a press conference with Vladimir Putin as “treasonous.”

Rand Paul explained why he opposed Brennan’s appointment five years ago ~

“I filibustered Brennan. I tried to keep Brennan from ever being the leader of the CIA. But realize that Brennan and Clapper are known for wanting to expand the authority of the intelligence agencies to grab up everyone’s information, including Americans. So I don’t have a lot of respect for these people. Even before they decided to go on hating the President, I disliked these people because they wanted to grab up so much power and use it against the American people.”

Progressives are squawking that this is political – but they’re the one’s who have leveled the ongoing partisan attacks on the current administration. The Russian Collusion farce has been a hoax since day one, engineered to cover-up the Left’s attempt to undermine Trump’s election.
 
And politics aside, Why should this even be a problem? Lower level employees immediately lose their security clearance when they’re no longer working in a particular administration. National security should be such a huge priority that access should strictly limited – not passed out like parking passes. Pull their clearance – yesterday!
