    You mean like when Obama illegally authorized illegal spying on Trump and company? That sort of autocratic state attempt? When he essentially weaponized the FBI against Trump or when he weaponized the IRS against the Tea Party? Good point.

    It's not. It's mind-bending whataboutism.

    These are all just claims blowing in the wind. What Trump did today is an, on it's face, fact elucidated and explained at the podium by his own press secretary.

    It's also more driveling whataboutism. Even if you could prove with 100% alacrity that the claims you make about the previous administration were right that wouldn't make what happened today any more correct.

    A truly great leader would recognize (the hereby only conspiratorially alleged) failings of his/her predecessor and vow never to repeat those transgressions again.

    Trump's ability to take the political high-ground is almost legendary and will have only positive influence on our nation's political discourse going forward. :roflol::roll:

    So you admit it’s just trump punishing him for speaking out. How has he abused the privilege?

    What I'd like to know is why hasn't the president revoked clearances for all former employees, both democrat and republicans, instead of picking and choosing. IMO It reeks of partisanship and only further reduces his credibility with the American people.

    Imprisoning them is the first step.

    The second is to execute them.

    Although sending them to re-education camps might be an option for some, even if we all agree that leftism is incurable.

    Oh look. The Emperor of the Internet is here.

    Hallelujah.

    I get to write whatever the hell I choose to. Period.

    I reiterate: Brennan has no legitimate reason for access to classified data. PERIOD.

    Care to attempt to refute that, with some REAL REASONS why the communist sympathizer should have access to our classified data, Your Majesty ?

    Is he still a federal employee?

    Go ahead, justify him still having a security clearance when he no longer works for the government.

    Let's see if you have the guts to answer that.

    NOT A ONE of them can come up with a legit reason for the communist sympathizer Brennan to have access to our classified data, other than to mount further TDS attacks on the sitting POTUS.

    Of course not. All I have seen is a bunch of crying that Trump finally revoked a clearance that piece of trash should never have had once he left his government job.

    Crooked John Brennan’s CIA knew there was no collusion, so they didn’t need a surgical, focused, silent CIA field operation.

    This was a political hit job on Presidential politics. They wanted the noise and the hum of activity, the smoke, rumors, leaks, and innuendo of a Headquarters-run operation. All this noise, combined with the fraudulent Steele Dossier, led to relentless media attacks on Trump, an unlimited budget for Mueller and his team, and even to ongoing demands that Trump kowtow to the intel agencies.

    The deep state left a sloppy trail behind. They figured Hillary would win and so it wouldn’t matter. Big meetings about these operations meant people like Peter Strzok and Andrew McCabe from the FBI piled into cars to head over to the CIA. Once there, they sat around the Nirvana of bureaucracy, a big conference room table. (McCabe spent $70,000 of your money to buy his own table.) Each agency and office would have been at the table. Each senior person brings along a herd of minions. The senior people talk while the minions sit there like potted plants. These potted plants will be willing to talk to investigators.

    CIA employees document their activity exhaustively in records that are sent to lots of other offices to keep everyone informed. These documents are cross-referenced, so if a deep stater tries to delete them, it will be obvious. A Horowitz-style investigation will find a treasure trove of information plus a trail of accountings that will show wasteful spending and possibly fraud. Headquarters-run ops are expensive extravaganzas.

    Democrats seem to understand that these ops are easy to unravel. Their only defense is to scream that details must be kept secret to protect national security. Yet they are the ones who did the leaking of identities of people involved, which is a felony.

    Trump probably won't get to imprisoning and executions until his second term.

    With his whining and criticism.

    Previous administrations didn't try to undermine their subsequent administrations.

    You were the the one who started with the whole period, end of story, schtick "Your Majesty".

    If he'd said something nice about Trump, he'd have his own private plane, an alien proof phone box and a season ticket to Mar-a-Lago. This has zilch to do with his competence, patriotism or future value to the country's intelligence services and everything to do with the Dear Leader's, in the moment, bruised little ego.
