"You have humiliated us"

[Lysistrata]

We need a strong intelligence community. Brennan and McRaven are seasoned professionals who have proven their faithfulness to the United States over and over. The future of this country is worth so much more than the desires of a washed-up reality TV guy who never served for the betterment of this country in any capacity.

I would never address this fool in the Oval Office as "Sir" because he does not warrant this respect. Brennan and McRaven warrant this honor.

Ret. Navy Admiral to Trump: ‘I Would Consider It an Honor if You Would Revoke My Security Clearance’

a Washington Post op-ed Thursday afternoon. Few Americans have done more to protect this country than John. He is a man of unparalleled integrity, whose honesty and character have never been in question, except by those who don’t know him."




ADVERTISING
McRaven gave 37 years of his life to the Navy before retiring in 2014 with the honor of being the longest serving Navy SEAL to still be on duty.



"Therefore, I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency," McRaven continues.



Admiral McRaven also served as the first director of the NATO Special Operations Forces Coordination Centre (NSCC), and ninth commander of the United States Special Operations Command, and just retired as chancellor of the University of Texas System.



"Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation," the Admiral continues. "If you think for a moment that your McCarthy-era tactics will suppress the voices of criticism, you are sadly mistaken."



The Post includes this short clip of McRaven calling Trump's attack on the free press as "the enemy of the American people," possibly "the greatest threat to democracy" in his lifetime.

I have the utmost respect for this man as he made it through hell week to become a SEAL.

He served for thirty seven years but if he's retired now why does he need a security clearance??

No retired anybody needs a security clearance unless they are still performing a duty to the Govt.

Trump made a banana republic kind of move.....Stifle free speech?? Trump is slime

Having a security clearance revoked isn't stifling free speech you dumbass.

You can say whatever you want even if you do have a security clearance. You just can't talk about what you learned using that clearance.

Jesus are you stupid.

If that was the case, then it would be justified to pull his clearance

But there have been no claims that he Compromised classified information

Oh bullshit. He's no longer the director and he doesn't need a security clearance. He's just a US citizen now.

Same as you and me. Do you have a security clearance??

I have a badge that lets me in and out of our secured area.

Guess you could call that a security clearance though its not the same as the one Brennan had.

He's just a citizen now and has no need of a security clearance.

Ain't rocket science folks.

 

[Erinwltr]

He's retired, he doesn't need clearance, revoke it

A Hole Alert is the new button that USMB needs.

Also a BS one

Says the faux trader who didn't know the difference between a day trader and swing trader lol. Priceless

Hey you know about as much about trading as you do clearances lol.

Eddie has a new hero...an Obama era crony admiral embarrasing himself and the US NAVY

Sassy you're an idiot A poor one at that
Day Change
+$68,005.37 (1.02%)

Lol typing obscure numbers means nothing troll. You've never traded anything but baseball cards and probably failed at that

Now back to your Obama crony admiral embarrassing himself

LOL! Looks like the POTUS apologists got plenty of sleep last night. Interesting how a respected patriot, retired Navy Admiral draws your ire.

With all due respect, the point is not whether he needs the security clearance but the use of presidential power to revoke security clearances to punish political opponents what has historically been a non-partisan issue. What we are talking about is abuse of presidential power for revenge and no other purpose.

And republican sheep remain silent ? Traitors
Washington (CNN)Former US intelligence chiefs expressed astonishment and condemnation Monday in response to President Donald Trump's comments at Monday's news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin, with former CIA Director John Brennan calling the US President's performance "nothing short of treasonous."

Following his one-on-one meeting with Putin in Helsinki, Finland, Trump declined to endorse the US intelligence community's assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 election over Putin's denial, saying the Russian President was "extremely strong and powerful" in his denial.
"Donald Trump's press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of 'high crimes & misdemeanors.' It was nothing short of treasonous," Brennan, a frequent critic of Trump who served as CIA chief from 2013 through January 2017, tweeted during the event. "Not only were Trump's comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???"

The point is if you are retired you don't need a security clearance. If you don't work for the Govt. doing secret shit. You don't need a security clearance.

You are just a US citizen like millions of others who don't have a security clearance.

Didn’t he do that with the deputy FBI Director?

Fire him days before he could receive a pension?

yes he did ,,it might have been just one day ,,,the payback president a pos

I just wonder how you would respond to the constant attacks Pres. Trump has had to endure from two scoops of ice cream to coveting your own daughter. Quit being a clown.

[Polishprince]

McRaven is fighting to take down our lawfully elected President and impose the socialism that people rejected in 2016. The idea of America returning to Greatness makes guys like McRaven sick to his stomach and makes him ready to fight back at we Deplorables.

The heck with him, he shouldn't have any clearance.

Ret. Navy Admiral to Trump: ‘I Would Consider It an Honor if You Would Revoke My Security Clearance’

The Post includes this short clip of McRaven calling Trump's attack on the free press as "the enemy of the American people," possibly "the greatest threat to democracy" in his lifetime.

Why didn't he lose his security clearance the minute he retired? That should have been automatic.

Because veterans with that much wealth of experience, are valued as important sources of advice and consultation. that only comes from years and years of empirical experience. If today's commanders are unable to consult with these valuable assets the military is weakened. Purging rhe best from the table is a fool's mistake.

He retired. Which means probably next to nobody is even asking him for input to anything. And if he's retired and not on the job the last thing he needs is top security information about anything. Go be retired. Your services are no longer needed.

He retired from a high ranking position
That does not mean he just goes fishing and plays golf

Most retired Generals and Admirals still get called in for consulting work which requires access to classified information

Most?
