Former CIA Directors Going back Decades Come to Brennan's Defense!

[Truman62]

Former CIA directors and another half dozen of America's most senior spies have issued an unprecedented condemnation
of President Donald Trump, after his decision to blacklist their colleague John Brennan.

In a statement, ex-CIA bosses appointed by Republican and Democratic presidents -- including Robert Gates, George Tenet,
Porter Goss, Leon Panetta and David Petraeus -- denounced Trump's decision to strip Brennan of his security clearance.

"The president's action regarding John Brennan and the threats of similar action against other former officials has nothing to
do with who should and should not hold security clearances -- and everything to do with an attempt to stifle free speech," the
statement read.

Describing Trump's move as "inappropriate and deeply regrettable," they insisted "we have never before seen the approval or
removal of security clearances used as a political tool, as was done in this case."

Two of those who signed the statement -- former director of national intelligence James Clapper and former CIA director Michael
Hayden -- have been cited by Trump as on a list of people who could lose their clearance.

Really good line...  [this] has nothing to do with who should and should not hold security clearances -- and everything
to do with an attempt to stifle free speech

Donnie becomes more and more of a Dictator every day.

And his Frumpettes support it.  So sad.

true...and more than 96% of the republican gutless cowards in office are too chickenshit to condemn this asshole for such a completely third world banana republic tin horn dictator move. 

[Truman62]

GOPpers here have no clue who these people are.  So sad...

[dont-blameme]

And the majority of them worked under democrats administrations so that in it's self beings their creditability into question!

Not much going for you on that level is there stupid62!

[chuck_curtis]

They won't get his security clearance back.   Tough luck for the traitorous swamp creature.  No one needs his advice.

[Truman62]

Doesn't want it back.

Getting it pulled is a badge of honor from this disgraceful and biased administration of liars and incompetents.

From the CIA manual--I will paraphrase:
Former CIA Directors will keep their security clearance for the remainder of their lives, subject to review every 5 years--contingent on acting in the parameters as a current CIA employee. With the aforementioned in mind, is Mr. Brennan acting like a current CIA Director, ms/mr davik62?

Just how exactly are his free speech rights being stifled?

[wmdn_bs]

Trump's will be pulled in January 2021, with much fanfare around the world.
