    No. Brennan should never get anywhere near confidential information again.
    TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!

    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?

    You really don't get it? Trump has a Nixion type enemies list. He is taking clearance away from people who spoke against him. He is trying to stop their free speech. Talk against me and I will punish you. Not a very compelling argument. And done crappily again. Most of those people lost clearance when they left the FBI. The right cannot evaluate. If Trump says it, you buy it without question. You guys are showing such ignorance.

    It’s a first Amendment issue only in the sense that it’s punishment by the government for crictism.

    Which makes it one. He is punishing people for speaking against him like any other tinpot dictator would.

    So is Brennan now unable to speak?

    Nonsense. There are a variety of reasons for continued clearances. Any testimony before Congress requires a review of classified notes taken by the retiree. Under a normal administration, it's very common for the current intelligence agencies to consult with past members of an agency.


    Given that this administration prides itself on incompetence, it doesn't surprise me that trump wants to limit his intelligence agencies' ability to perform their jobs.
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    He hasn't silenced Brennan, he's just made it more difficult for Brennan to get information. How does it impact speech to cut off information?

    When you put it that way, it certainly silences the speech of those that could previously talk to him, doesn’t it?

    But it’s actually about abuse of power and obstruction of justice.

    Brennan and anybody else can talk all they want.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    the more he talks, the more unhinged he gets. I'm waiting for smoke to start coming out of his ears

    Brennan has been an open critic of the President and has said many derogatory remarks, even lies about the President.

    Would you explain why his security clearance was needed to say any of those thing?

    You can't.

    Because Brennan's security clearance or lack there of has nothing to do with his 1st Amendment Rights.

    You are parroting fake news.
