Originally posted by The Sicatoka View PostI don't see why folks are in a tizzy over pulling the clearance of someone who no longer works for the Federal Government. I didn't retain mine when I left a clearance-required "need to know" position.
Mr. Brennan, no longer on the payroll, no longer has need to know. He's not in a position requiring clearance. If his historic knowledge is needed, he can be read-in on what he needs to know under a temporary clearance authorization.
As far as obstruction: He's not prosecuting; he's not investigating; he's not on the payroll; there's nothing about Mr. Brennan to "obstruct."
The other I've heard (CNN? MSNBC? One of those on S-XM) was "Brennan's First Amendment rights have been infringed." Really? In a word: No. He can still say anything he wants.
I put this courtesy of leaving top officials (either party) with clearance and access as something that never made sense to me. They're off the payroll. They no longer have need to know. (Need to know is the basis of all classified materials, even if you're cleared!) The justification I hear is "precedent". That's legalese for "there's no other justification than TTWWADI."
TTWWADI: that's the way we've always done it
All of the arguments "for" I've heard are that they are constantly being asked to advise, and they are also on the board of many high level government organizations that talk about national security.
Why would you intentionally want to throw all of that knowledge and experience away? Just because you may not agree with their assessment of a situation does not make them wrong. Just means you don't interpret it the same. And if you want a truly effective decision to be made, you should be looking for all sides of the situation.
Seems like the only reason you don't like it is because you can make a snappy acronym out of the procedure.

His main concern, as he says so himself repeatedly, is security issues. Has no comment on someone being able to record conversations in the WH Situation Room. Had a conniption that someone used a private server that was never shown to be compromised or hacked.What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

Military parade cost up to $92M. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/16/trum...estimated.html
It would be really nice if all of the soldiers gave up their pay raises to help for this. That would be good and patriotic of them.

Originally posted by Slap Shot View PostIf the reasons for the removal are the above why not just say it? Trump himself said it's retribution not protocol and I do believe it's not even protocol to remove the clearance that quickly.
But you're just asking right?
So just another "the president is above the law" actions taken by this joke of a president.What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

Re: POTUS 45.39: Dick Pictures for Everyone!!!!!!!
Originally posted by The Sicatoka View PostIt's far easier to disregard an argument than have to put up a legitimate argument to refute it.The whole reason for this is to create a council of advisers, of former CIA directors, who don't need to go through the extensive clearance process but they can then look at current intelligence.
And it's more for the benefit of the current administration, so the great irony is that this president is denying his own CIA and other agency officials access to the wise counsel of Brennan, now, and presumably the others who are on this list. - Andrea Mitchell**NOTE: The misleading post above was brought to you by Reynold's Wrap and American Steeples, makers of Crosses.

Originally posted by alfablue View PostSo what is your argument against TTWWADI when it comes to the CIA director?
He's not in the employment of the US Government. He no longer has need to know.
If something comes up, he can be read in.The preceding post may contain trigger words and is not safe-space approved. <-- Virtue signaling.
