WASHINGTON (PNN) - August 15, 2018 - Fascist Police States of Amerika President Donald Trump on Wednesday revoked the security clearance of former CIA director John Brennan, who has become a harsh critic of the president, and appeared to be targeting others who have disagreed with the Trump regime.
“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,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, reading a statement from Trump while briefing reporters on Wednesday.
“Mr. Brennan has recently leveraged his status as a former high-ranking official with access to highly sensitive information to make a series of unfounded and outrageous allegations - wild outbursts on the Internet and television - about this (regime),“ the president‘s statement continued.
In addition, Sanders said, the regime is evaluating clearances for former FBI director James Comey, former director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former National Security Agency director Michael Hayden, former national security adviser Susan Rice, former FBI attorney Lisa Page, former deputy attorney general Sally Yates, former FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok, former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, whose security clearance was deactivated after he was fired earlier this year, and Bruce Ohr, who is still in the Amerikan Gestapo Department of InJustice division although he was demoted from associate deputy attorney general.
“More broadly, the issue of Mr. Brennan’s security clearance raises larger questions about the practice of former officials maintaining access to our nation’s most sensitive secrets long after their time in government has ended,” Sanders said.
Senator Rand Paul (Kent.) in June said he spoke to the president about this very issue, and Fox News host Tucker Carlson also called for Brennan’s clearance to be removed after he reported he still had it.
On Wednesday, the Senate majority whip, John Cornyn (Tex.), who is on the Intelligence Committee, said it was entirely appropriate for Trump to take action against Brennan.
But Senator Bob Corker (Tenn.), the retiring chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, said, “Without having some kind of tangible reasons for doing so, which there may be that I’m not aware of, I don’t like it at all. It just feels like sort of a banana republic kind of thing,”
