Former CIA Director John Brennan called into MSNBC today to respond to President Donald Trump revoking his security clearance, something he found out about from the White House announcement.

After decrying the punitive move from the President, Brennan was asked by Nicolle Wallace about reporting that officials like Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats were out of the loop on this decision.

Brennan responded:

“I was called by a friend and associate when Sarah Huckabee Sanders was giving that statement. So I had no knowledge of it beforehand, no one contacted me. Nobody reached out to me over the past several weeks when this issue had first surfaced. So the first I heard about it was when I was able to turn on the television and listen to Miss Sanders, and I have not heard anything from any government official since then or before then.”

1. This makes America exponentially LESS safe.

If we are going to be so cavalier about Americas security, then theres absolutely nO need for the Dept of Homeland Security anymore. Time to abolish the whole shooting match. We had INS and etc before. That had been working for thirty forty years. Save the money, put it towards healthcare. 17 security agencies....we are top heavy. Cut the budget...start w DHS.

3. Considering that the top level of the government is selling us out wholesale

You make sense.

2. Such class from this administration

4. LESS SAFE.

We MAY have needed it after 911....not now. After wars, you down-size what you UP sized. DHS is vastly redundant, and is turning out to be the presidents homeland hit-squads. Even folks in DHS knew it wasn't forever. Wartime hoopla.

5. He revels in public humiliation. Unbelievable!!

7. But HE can't suffer the humiliation putin has in store for him, so 340 million

of us has to suffer bc his selfish sword of Damacles. No humiliation for him.
