    Falsely calling people Communists, socialists, fascists, reactionaries, or liberals is often what people who do not have a clue about an issue say.

    What utter BULLSHIT.

    How has the Mouth of BRENNAN been silenced?

    He is ALL OVER the Fake News BLATHERING ABOUT HOW HE LOST HIS "FREE SPEECH".

    The logic-challenged left, naturally, FAILS TO NOTE HOW RIDICULOUS that is....

    Yeah, we see how Brennan can no longer speak freely. Der....

    Illogic, elevated to an ARTFORM, is one of the left's "Special Gifts".

    He IS NOT ENTITLED to a SECURTIY CLEARANCE. He is free to keep SPOUTING HIS BULLSHIT, without one.

    Saying he is a communist sympathizer is not "assuming" anything.

    Siding with our ENEMIES at the height of the Cold War is what he did.

    "the opposition candidate was someone who needed to be stopped".

    SAYS WHO? YOU?

    Siding with our enemies was how to "stop" him/her?

    WHAT NONSENSE

    The Cold War was grossly overrated. The Mossadeegh wasn't a communist. Neither was Nasser until we drove him into the arms of the Soviets. Joe McCarthy was a drunk.

    We made a lot of mistakes.. just like the damned invasion of Iraq..

    Once again...he is free to practice his first amendment rights AS HE IS DOING, NONSTOP.

    Having a security clearance is irrelevant to it.

    Makeup some more bullshit.

    Please cite the "RIGHT" to a security clearance the proven liar, caught spying on Congress and the American People, communist sympathizer Brennan has.

    He should have NEVER HAD ONE in the first place.

    Another OBAMA **** UP fixed by Trump.

    Tell that to the tens of millions slaughtered by the communists, during the "overrated" Cold War.

    I have several friends who managed to escaped the Iron Curtain who would love to clear up your GLARING LACK OF KNOWLEDGE on this matter.

    Let's see. Don't you agree that the Russian hacking is a hoax? Brennan is hardly a strawman, whatever that means. Oh, I am in full support of our institutions that have served our country well and resent con men like Trump who denigrate those institutions to cover his tail. Are mistakes make? You betcha. Trump swallows his tongue every day.

    You all all over the place.. You claimed i was never critical of him.. You here wrong.. All this to cover for your Hero and your lacking of knowledge that he spied on Congress.

    Brennan is one person he is not an institution.... Slow down and try again you are making less and less sense.

    The only person making no sense is you. Try what again? Trump denigrates individuals and those affiliated with those institutions every day. We don't know who in Brennan's CIA hacked the senators, but as the chief, he is ultimately responsible. So get off your high horse. You didn't like his hiring of Pompeo? That is not being critical of Trump's conduct.

    Former CBS News Reporter Delivers Kill Shot to Liberal Media Narrative That Trump Is Silencing John Brennan; UPDATE: Brennan...Security Breach?.....


    Former CIA Director John Brennan no longer has a security clearance. It’s been revoked. He’s out of the club. Oh, and you bet the liberal news media was all over this, once again going into meltdown mode over something that was perfectly within the president’s authority. But like with anything that Trump does, we're always on the verge of a total constitutional crisis…in CNN-land. Guy also wrote that Brennan’s pervasive partisan antics warranted his clearance being revoked. Oh, but it’s all politically motivated, you see (via Politico):


    Wait, you’re saying there’s a campaign to silence you, yet you can still say whatever you want, right? You just did. And the anti-Trump media are going to give you even more media its and exposure over this security clearance nonsense. Former CBS News investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson also torpedoed this absurd narrative.


    Our friends at Twitchy captured the fun:



    Uh oh......snip~

    Brennan should have been fired and his security clearance revoked when he was caught lying to Congress.

    Obama was president when Brennan was caught lying to Congress. Do you even know why the Intel Committee was investigating the CIA?

    (2018-08-16) — Former CIA Director John Brennan said President Donald Trump yanked his security clearance to silence his criticism of Trump. Brennan’s influence and voice has been eliminated, he said in an op-ed in today’s New York Times and on MSNBC.

    Trump pulled the Obama administration official’s clearances because the president believes Brennan deceptively instigated what became the Mueller investigation, and has kept up a relentless attack against the president, which The White House said has national security implications.

    In his Times column, Brennan calls Trump’s claim that there was “no collusion” between his campaign and Russia, “hogwash.”

    “Like a dictator, Trump shut me down and squelched my voice,” Brennan wrote in the globally-distributed news source. “No one can hear me now. Free speech is dead, and Trump will run amok.”

    “I don’t know why I go on,” the former CIA chief added, “since no one reads The New York Times or watches MSNBC. Hello…is this thing on?”
