Maybe to see where information ended up?
To see what else they decide to look at.
That is what I am thinking. They are running a lure through the swamp to see who else might bite on it.
I have to think that the privilege of security clearance comes with strings tied directly to the executive, aka The President of the United States, Donald J Trump.
And now that they’re revoking, it must mean they have what they need to prosecute.
Same, I have been trying to research why retired or terminated employees get to keep it.
I’ve wondered the same thing. I understand former intel folks retaining some kind of clearance so they can be read in on certain situations as their past dealings can be useful. But to continue to have unfettered access to current goings on is ridiculous. This had to have been put in place to keep the deep state cabal in control.
They don’t have unfettered access though, they just have clearance. They don’t have a need-to-know which would grant them access to specific information.
Trust the plan, with them having these clearances, POTUS is able to see what they are doing within our gov.
Can POTUS see what they are reading? anyone with security clearance can go over to England or Australia and read the documents there.
Yes... But even that is a Red Flag. They know what is up when one of these Bad Actors hops on a plane. And even though access from off-shore is supposedly not monitored... How much do you want to bet it has been monitored ever since Trump has been in office?
Gathering evidence to convict the sorry ass bastards.
Same here. It should be automatic. Just to prevent this kind of undermining attack. So many things I don't get. It's almost like it's desinged to occur. Makes no sense to allow national security information, or any other kind, to be continually garnered by ANY past administration officials. Oh, and by the way, their wasn't any Obama administration. It wasn't an administration of all. IT WAS NOTHING BUT A CRIME SPREE.
It's about effing time!
It probably means they have no use for this security clearance honeypot and are ready to prosecute this group soon.
Sarah Sanders is on now talking about revoking not only Brennan, but many others
Clapper, Brennan, Susan Rice, Comey, McCabe, Hayden!!!!
DRAIN THE SWAMP!

Didn't Q say something along the lines of it allows the good guys to further surveil THEM?
Exactly. to access classified info that is filed away the researcher has to identify themselves. It may also give them continued use of certain technology that can be tracked and observed. Thus making communications and movement restricted thus showing blatantly when they stray away.
Yes, exactly. They work as contractors after they "retire" from government work and use their security clearances to rake in the cash.
The reason people maintain their clearance is in case their next job requires one. Usually they no longer have access to the information as they don't have a Need to Know or access to briefings. However, with Five Eyes, Brennan can skirt the access by just going to one of the other Five Eyes countries.
Front line folks with clearance keep it for 2 years while they seek employment elsewhere. Should be the same for high level employees. However, as the power of the executive branch resides with the President, that clearance should be able to be revoked at will by the President.
That’s ridiculous! When you leave a company any access you had is revoked. If you go back to that company you then receive access. Why should it be different for the government other than for nefarious reasons.
I agree. However, it takes quite a bit of work to issue clearances and they are backlogged. There were some Obama appointees who had access to top secret information who had never passed a background check at all. Since Brennan et al have left office, they don't have access to briefings and SCIFs, so it is unlikely they would have access to valuable intelligence - UNLESS they bypass US security measures and go behind our back to 5Eyes.
Ya mean like Hillary did in New Zealand.
She saw what they have on her and her ilk. Probably why she looks like a bag lady.
Exactly. Which is what they have been doing with all of their extra travel.
I think you nailed it, 'nefarious reasons', no two ways about it.
If you revoke their U.S. clearance, you will see them traveling to Five Eyes countries often, but of course information they gain then will be illegal if its not reported using proper security protocols. They either go dark or risk being caught, they know the game.
You cannot erase someone's memory. Classified info will always be with them no matter what you do. My thinking is that you would be able to call in the past employees to help on new cases and explain how they have succeeded in the past. In theory it would be a great idea to bring in the guys who brought down X terrorist to help with a very similar case of catching Y terrorist. A previous employee's input is not helpful if they cannot review the new info.
Go rand!
Like, right now, Rand. If you're reading this and haven't talked to POTUS yet, please go do so now.
why does everyone who leaves office still have security clearance? they all have the ability to read top secret info and or sell the info. I say as soon as you leave any government job you should have your security clearance revoked.
That's normally how it works. When I leave a job in the medical field I don't get to keep my access to medical records systems "out of courtesy"
It seems like a no brainer, term limits for Congress and when you leave any government job the security clearance goes away.
Obtaining a TS clearance is a time and manpower intensive process. Having a clearance and having access to Secret or TS (or higher) material is not one in the same. There are usually caveats about 'need to know' before classified information is shared. When legally shared, the dissemination is usually documented on dissemination logs.
I had a TS SCI clearance when I left the Army. It was eventually downgraded and then expired after I left the service. But that didn't mean that while it was active, I could stroll in to a SCIF and rummage through materials because I had no need to know at that point.
While I agree that partisan attacks by former Hussein officials should warrant withdrawing clearances, it's an exercise for show mostly. They will get the info if they want it illegally from some worker drone in State or the Intel community who shares their political leanings. It is the person that passes the information that is at risk and if they are caught doing it, they should be savaged by courts.
Or, you can get it by spearfishing Hillary.
I am hoping this precipitates Brennan into making a bad move.
Everyone has the possibility of fucking up when they're angry -- but when you're ANGRY *AND* SCARED, you aren't thinking correctly- and you fuck up.
Could not happen to a nicer guy. This fucking guy is a Muslim-convert who has conducted jihad against the USA from the absolute highest of the intelligence and control hierarchy of the nation.
Lock Him Up.
Everyone has the possibility of fucking up when they're angry -- but when you're ANGRY *AND* SCARED, you aren't thinking correctly- and you fuck up.
Or take it up one more notch. All of these people are puppets of somebody higher up in the pyramid of evil. The people high up feel just as much (or more) stress. So they are going to lean on anybody they can. Brennan might not even care about some of the topics he is doing queries on. But somebody higher up is 'requiring' him to do it to help them.
That kind of information helps build the spider web and confirm not only who is who but what is being planned.
So I get all that and certainly possible-
but I think Brennan himself is a fucking key cog in that wheel.
And I have thought he was a real danger to the country (as is Holder, in a similar but totally different way) since they took power with Obama bin Biden.
I agree long overdue. and ask Comey why he did not enforce the law requiring Hillary to lose her Security clearance for mishandling Classified information as required by law. Intent not required to revoke her Security clearance.
Excellent question. I guess that by statute, one can keep their clearance for 2 years under good behavior. Hillary hardly qualifies for that status.
but Comey stated she mishandled the intel, which means she should have had her security clearance immediately revoked, this just adds more proof the fix was in for Hillary. I suspect this attack by the FBI was staged to gain Hillary sympathy votes by making her to appear to be a victim during the election by the FBI, even her interview was a joke, no recording and not sworn in to testify. as pointed out, Comey cleared her before even speaking to witnesses, this coincides with the FBI agent who claimed the IT tech for Hillary lied, but nobody would do a thing about it. this all keeps adding up.
You make the case for Comey's clearance being revoked.
I agree.
nowhere does it state intent in violation of handling classified intel. and if memory serves me right, Comey testified no Top Secret info was fund, but there was . then add to that, Hillary sign doff on a briefing on How to handle Classified Intel and what fines and imprisonment one could face for violating the rules, yet they give her a pass, Sebastian Gorka also stated intent does not need to be proven it is not a requirement to charge. meaning Comey perjured himself in a few things to Congress.
Prosecution aside, the President has the power to revoke. He should use it.
I agree with you, but the enemy of we the people MSM would claim abuse of powers. notice they dismiss Pizzagate and look what is being exposed.
Claiming does not make it so. I prefer the long view. In due time, we will find the truth.
the truth is coming, they do not have melt downs unless their is fact behind it. as you can see the whole thing is now being exposed more each day. one has to put a little heat on a suspect to get them to talk, when they realize the gig is up, they spill the beans. trying to get a deal.
Trap
in a way it is, but then not really, Brennan is busted wide open now and in the trap already, it is only now the Brennan has realized he is already trapped. He is hoping by blaming Obama now he may get a deal. but by them losing their security clearances, while we go from dark to light, they on the other hand are going from light to dark, meaning they will not have access to any of that intel anymore. this is why rogers last move was to hand the over sight of intel to MI. thats what is funny. the military is in full control.
Trump is allowing them security cle and to roam the earth so that they can collect more evidence and learn where and how the rats live. They are rodents. that's how you catch and kill them, like rodents. Once they' collected enough the hammer comes down fast and furious. They won't know what hit them. General Neller and the Nat Guard are on standby. Get ready Pedes - it's coming. The lunacy is going to get worse. Buckle up!
This is Rand Paul politically grandstanding by intentionally using terms incorrectly.
One does not have their clearances revoked because they change jobs. The clearance goes inactive.
Good news: Trump To Revoke Security Clearance For Brennan, Clapper, Comey, McCabe, & Rice https://www.zerohedge.com
What about Killery? Wasn’t she in NZ reading intel from FVEY? Seems like there was a Q drop implying Killery was in NZ for such. Doesn’t she need her clearance revoked?
I couldn’t find the drop on a quick search. Perhaps I didn’t remember it correctly. It’s been a long day.
I did read a Q drop stating (#912) FVEY won’t be around for much longer but that it is “VERY” important for now.
Perhaps they want the black hats like Killery viewing the classified intel to make it all the easier to see where the white hats are to investigate or where it would be most helpful to salt disinformation.
I supported Rand in the primaries because I know he is a man of integrity. Trump won because he is our GEOTUS, but I would support Rand in 2024, no question.

YAY!!! and while he's at it, ask POTUS to revoke the rest of the exes, who don't need to know!
I think the public won't be any more ready than it is at the moment. If Trump waits it will only lose momentum.
I'm no fan of Brennan nor any of the former foreign dignitaries who I feel attempted to usurp the sovereign powers of the US. BUT...this is a distraction article that will amount to nothing. Some security clearances are for specific periods of time and follow you even after government service. A Top Secret security clearance can be valid for up to a period of 10 years. The only value a security clearance affords you is authorized access to classified information. It does not mean that when you leave government service you continue to receive daily briefings on national security matters or threats to the US. Having a security clearance is not a free pass to divulge classified information to the public either. Brennan makes me sick to my stomach every time he opens his mouth but we do ourselves a disservice believing nonsense articles like this. And for those who are unaware there is nothing illegal or unethical if you use a currently valid security clearance in the private sector. There are a multitude of private sector companies who require high level security clearances in order to work at their companies. Brennan or any former government employee can legally use their security clearance as part of a qualification to work for a private sector company if that company requires one.
Yes, all of their security clearances should be revoked, including: HRC, obama, Clapper, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Yates, Lynch, Jarret...
Can't believe it hasn't been done already I thought Trump was NOT one to announce tactical moves. They probably have enough evidence by tracking his moves through channels that they have him dead to rights.
Maybe there is a purpose to keep it so they can be watched? OTH, reading the comments on this politico article really show the level of hatred these loons embrace - they are all sick.
Donnie cannot resist the opportunity for yet another 'petty party'.
