This would not have been a story if it was not August and just about everybody in Washington is on vacation.

I thought Mcconnel had pulled the August recess? Or did he go back on that?

The senate is officially in session which is why I did not post "everybody".

His department should have pull "Clearances" when they fired his ass.
Trump should not have had to do it.    Someone needs to be fired for not doing it at the department.

Exactly! This should be SOP, just like it is anywhere else in the country.

Hey folks.  First real post here (other than my intro).  I have a clearance.  I do get it.  Former government employees can retain their clearances - that makes them employable to government contractors.  Big deal.  What gets you to lose your clearance is going off the deep end and starting to undermine the government.  Or lying to congress - that's a crime.  Criminals don't get clearances.  Duh!  Brennan lost his clearance because he's gone off the deep end and is undermining the US Government.  Plus he committed perjury to Congress - and no you don't have to be convicted first to lose your clearance.  Different issue entirely.  About time Trump starting taking some of these clearances away - especially if they don't really need it anymore. The only reason Brennnan needed it was to "consult" with the current CIA director.  Who the F*&k would listen to that putz, anyways?

You have to disclose any terminations on your clearance. Not sure if you would lose it for having been fired. I suppose it would depend In the reason.

Must not have lost it as Trump pulled his clearance. 

Like b o you can tell if he is lying, his lips are moving.

This guy is scum.

Whiney John Brennan Revoked the Security Clearances of Benghazi Heroes

Dozens of former CIA officials signed a letter in defense of John Brennan. It seems all of the elite at the top of the pecking order keep their security clearance so they can get lucrative jobs as private contractors. It's a perk they awarded themselves. The grunts don't keep it. How is this good for national security?

That being said, some are standing up for the President.

Kris "Tanto" Paronto, a former Army Ranger and private security contractor who was part of the CIA team that fought back during the 2012 Benghazi terror attack, leveled Brennan for putting politics before men in the field.

"He is lucky the security clearance is all he is getting away with," Paronto told Fox News in an interview on Friday in response to Brennan's incessant whining about his being taken away.

Responding a day earlier to Brennan's tweet that his "principles are worth far more than clearances," Paronto also tweeted:

"My principles are greater than clearances too John, especially when you and the @CIA kool-aid drinkers punishes us for not going along with the Benghazi cover-up story in order to protect you, @HillaryClinton's & @BarackObama's failures. You put your politics before us."

Yesterday on one of the leftist news show Brennan said he may sue Trump. Do you think Trump's lawyers would enjoy discovery of Brennan's actions?
