Is a national security clearance really a 1st Amendment issue?

[Bourbon]

right. so this bs about first amendment rights is hackneyed garbage.

I'm perfectly fine with Trump being on his own and flying blind in the mountains ...

I'm perfectly fine with him surrounding himself fools and "yes" men.

I say, go ahead, and let Trump stick his head out of the foxhole ... the more times, the better.

[Bourbon]

links?

I don't need a link when it comes from their own words.

... and personally, I don't care if anyone doesn't believe it.

Donald Trump's welfare is not my concern, I say, don't pay any attention to the experts.

[Darth Omar]

Nope, there’s no law.

Yep, it’s obvious Brennan is a special case. Trump made sure he was.

Well, go pound sand with Brennan then lol.

[domer76]

make up your minds what it is.
There cannot be an abuse of power if it's presidential purview. The IC agencies are delegated by POTUS

I don’t need to “make up my mind”. It’s been clear tome from to get go. He is clearly trying to intimidate anyone related to the Russian investigation. That, pally boy, is obstruction and there’s a pattern of it, starting with the firing of Comey.

I am merely amazed at how fucking stupid Orangetweet is.

So the spin from the left (heard it on PMSNBC this morning) is that John Brennan having his national security clearance revoked is a violation of his first amendment right to free speech.

Can someone explain that? Using that logic, we should all have national security clearances. How is John Brennan's ability to speak being limited right now?

Anyone?

Thread bans revoked because I want to hear leftardiot spin

What it is is an attempt to govern through intimidation

[domer76]

Well, go pound sand with Brennan then lol.

Look at it this way ... taking someone's Security Clearance Away won't stop ANYONE from going on TV and Voicing their opinions.

Now he's just talk more and more ...

How'd that work out?

Yep and as soon as he let's one classified piece of information slip out he should be toast.

[Bourbon]

Yep and as soon as he let's one classified piece of information slip out he should be toast.

Wait ... now you believe the intelligence community?

You guys need to make up your minds, are for or against the intelligence community?

can't have it both ways.

[Old Trapper]

"Clearance to classified information is granted based on a “need to know.” Brennan has none, so there was no reason to allow him continued access." Brennan is no longer associated with government service and now works for MSNBC/NBC. In fact when leaving government service every clearance holder is required to sign a security termination statement. If the big boys are allowed to keep their clearances that should be a violation of the law.

I understand how hard it is for your kind to deal with reality, and truth, however, there are many reasons why one may keep their security clearances after leaving a job such as CIA director. It is more likely that a subservient peon such as yourself would not have a need for such a clearance upon retirement, however, that does not apply to all. As to a link, which your kind are too lazy to research for yourself, here is one example of where ex-directors do talk to each other. What they do in private is another matter:

He’s done that already, you can take it to the bank.

[domer76]

Really? How did that work with Orangetweet giving the Russians the classified stuff that outed the Israelis?

Security clearances are given to people and retained by those who are friendly and helpful. They are not intended to be given to domestic enemies. The Damned deep state is Public Enemy Number One and mainstream news media Outlets are deep State Productions, thus they are domestic enemy agents of Public Enemy Number One. The revocation of oxygen permits is pending upon Public Enemy Number One. Confounding and ever increasing confusion is upon them all until the end.

Not a surprise that conspiracy theory MSNBC thinks its a 1st amendment right. I guess they don't believe in NS secrets or clearances.

I agree, trump should not have a security clearance.

Tell us again, who had clearances in Orangetweet's club? A domestic abuser, his son-in-law, who tried to secretly open s back-door at the Russian embassy, and Junior, who tried to conspire directly with Russian agents? Those kinda people?
