Rand Paul: Brennan 2012 Leak āHelped Compromiseā Yemen Operation, Risked Agentās Life
"Rand Paul continued to make his case for revoking former CIA Director John Brennanās security clearance in a Thursday Breitbart op-ed, citing a 2012 leak that āhelped compromiseā an operation in Yemen and risked an agentās life.
Stating that Brennan is āno strangerā to the problem of āvital, secret detailsā being leaked by security clearance-holding television commentators, Paul hearkened back to 2012.
Brennan, then Obamaās top White House adviser on counter-terrorism, gave classified information to a group of former Obama advisers turned TV commentators about a Yemen terror plot that Washington had āinside controlā of through a double-agent.
After Brennanās briefing, one of the callās participants, Richard Clarke, went on ABC and broadcast the government implying that there was a Western spy inside the Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula bomb-making group.
John Brennanās careless leak to former intelligence officials turned television commentators helped compromise an operation and risk the life of a double agent, and who knows what other objectives it also hindered or outright prevented.
This is exactly why former intelligence officials who are now talking heads on television should not continue to have a security clearance."
...but he is a snowflake darling despite his perjurous part in the Obama 2016 Anti-Trump Election Conspiracy.
