Good grief John Brennan is such a Drama Queen
The Trump Administration pulled security clearance from John Brennan yesterday.
Either that, or dad wouldn’t let his teenage daughter borrow the car.
It’s hard to know which happened because from the way John Brennan was acting, you’d think it was the latter.
This action is part of a broader effort by Mr. Trump to suppress freedom of speech & punish critics. It should gravely worry all Americans, including intelligence professionals, about the cost of speaking out. My principles are worth far more than clearances. I will not relent. https://t.co/TNzOxhP9ux

Oh for Pete’s sake. Can you believe this big girl was the head of the CIA?
He is such a Drama Queen.
I half expected him to shout, “I hate you, Dad!!!” Then stomp to his bedroom, slam the door and play his music loud enough to rattle the windows.
Shorter Brennan: I don’t want this stupid clearance anyway!! https://t.co/zKqYivlI6f

How in the name of sweet fancy Moses is yanking your clearance suppressing your freedom of speech, John?
It’s not like President Trump suspended you from Twitter.
Clearly.
"Silencing" @JohnBrennan would mean — well– making it where he couldn't be a TV personality or removing him from Twitter and social media or hitting him with an injunction. I don't think that's happened (nor should it). He isn't silenced.

If one needs a security clearance to exercise one’s freedom of speech, then I guess that means that hundreds of millions of Americans do not have Freedom of Speech.
We interrupt this post for this very special program:
“John Brennan, This is Your Life!”
Let’s look back on the noble and successful career of this “valuable public servant” shall we?

Lol. That time John Brennan illegally leaked classified intel about UK/Saudi double agent inside al-Qaeda to the US media trying (falsely) to take credit, blowing the whole operation. Mueller told Congress he would investigate. ? https://t.co/3tIbv71Y19

Golly. What a great American!
Of course, we can’t forget that this hateful little prick orchestrated an attempted coup against a duly-elected President.
He deserves a security clearance about as much as Bradley Manning.
Let me tell you why John Brennan is acting like a Drama Queen.
Two reasons.
Number one: he is still attempting to oust President Trump by carrying on a media-funded disinformation campaign. And so everything Trump does has to be treated as “unprecedented” and “abnormal.”
Back in February, Daniel Greenfield explained the “Abnormalizing of President Trump” beautifully. Read it HERE
Here’s a snippet:
The #resistance has declared that its mission is refusing to ‘normalize’ Trump. That means it won’t accept that he won the election, that he has the right to issue orders or even exist. The violent protests, the marches, the judicial activism and the political sabotage all stem from that refusal to ‘normalize’.
Instead of ‘normalizing’ him, the left has ‘abnormalized’ him as aberrant in every possible way. And the media has built a profitable business model of catering to the radical left by pretending that normal behavior is a shocking outrage. That’s why CNN treated President Trump having 2 scoops of ice cream as a news story. Or why the media was certain that Trump had to be in poor health no matter what a doctor who had been vouched for by top Obama officials told them to their faces.
Abnormalization means that everything that Trump does is extraordinary and bad. Even down to eating ice cream or a cheeseburger. His health must be bad because he is a bad person. Nothing is too petty to be treated as an outrage. Including Melania’s shoes. And everything he does is bad because he did it.
Brennan is part of this effort to paint every action of the President’s as somehow the most egregious and horrible thing ever.
He can still do that without a security clearance.
Second, without a security clearance, John Brennan just became less valuable to NBC News.
That’s why the folks from NBC News are carrying on like wet hens.
He was their inside man.
They are paying him because he has access to classified information.
And he doesn’t need a security clearance for any of it. Carry on with the criticism … totally fine. https://t.co/00XMsMImna
— Harmeet K. Dhillon (@pnjaban) August 15, 2018
Sure, he can continue attacking the President on NBC without one.
But now he is of less value because he doesn’t have one.
Rand Paul was right.
John Brennan was monetizing his security clearance.
And NBC News – eager to get access to information they shouldn’t have – hired him on because of that clearance.
Now he’s useless to them.
Well, not entirely useless.
As Harmeet aptly points out, he can still attack the President without it.
But then he’d just be yet another NBC “pundit” screaming helplessly at the sky.
And really? How many of those do they need?
Brennan: President Trump “is very badly mistaken” if he thinks revoking my security clearance will silence me.
— MSNBC (@MSNBC) August 15, 2018
Oh, for crying out loud.
See what I mean? He’s a total drama queen.
The guy has gone full-on fussy girl.
“I will not be silenced!!!” says every single butt-hurt Democrat woman on the planet.
From Elizabeth Warren to Kirsten Gillibrand to Kamala Harris to John Brennan.
I will not be silent about a nominee for AG who has made derogatory & racist comments that have no place in our justice system.
— Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) February 8, 2017
You cannot silence me or the millions of women who have gotten off the sidelines to speak out about the unfitness and shame you have brought to the Oval Office. https://t.co/UbQZqubXZv
— Kirsten Gillibrand (@SenGillibrand) December 12, 2017
I am not going to be silenced by attacks from the NRA or anyone else – and neither will my Senate colleagues or the students from Stoneman Douglas. It's time to stand up to the gun lobby and keep our communities safe. #NeverAgain
— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) February 22, 2018
Never have so many screamed so loudly about not being silenced when nobody is trying to silence them.
It really is hilarious.
Just imagine how angry the media would be if President Trump called John Brennan a dog.
— Dianny ?? (@DiannyRants) August 15, 2018
And, of course, the other drama queens from the Obama Administration were quick to toss in their own hissy fits.
Like this one:
Sign me up for the John Brennan list. Happy to lose my clearances to stand with those who love our country, fight for our country and put our values above petty proclamations and a disregard for institutional knowledge, history and respect of others.
— Wendy R. Sherman (@wendyrsherman) August 15, 2018
Honey, you were instrumental in both Clinton’s ridiculous nuclear deal with North Korea and Obama’s disastrous nuclear deal with Iran.
You shouldn’t have a security clearance – if for no other reason that the country would be safer with you home knitting tea cozies.
The problem with this security clearance meltdown is once again, right on cue, the Left and the media are pushing too hard and too far.
And the more Brennan screams about his right to free speech, the more Americans are going to wonder why someone supposedly deprived of the right to free speech never shuts the hell up.
John Brennan isn’t looking like the bigger or better man here.
He’s looking like a petulant woman scorned.

there is not enough Tylenol in the universe to mute the headaches their screeching gives to the average citizen….but I hope it goes into the range only my dog can hear it come Nov
It’s President Trump, not Mr. Trump johnny. If we had a real president in those years before President Trump instead of a feckless soy-boy little johnny would have never even been appointed. I’m glad his clearances were revoked, what disturbs me are the many that have not yet been revoked.
Brennan has been silenced only in the sense that no CIA employee can have anything to do with him anymore (at least not legally). They call it a burn notice, he’s officially a non-person in the intel community. That humiliation has gotta hurt.
But I want to know how this cold war commie ever got hired at CIA, let alone how he rose through the ranks to become the Director.
One last point. When I was in the military being a vocal critic of the president was strictly forbidden. And when I was discharged, whatever security clearance I had was cancelled, as it should be. No reason these big-wigs should get to keep theirs.
Whoopie, I totally agree. You move out of a house, you turn in your keys. You leave a job, they change all the passwords and take your keys/keycards. There is NO reason why people no longer working in their official capacity on behalf of the American people should retain their clearance.
I could really use a little more silence from all these harpies that won’t be silenced.
John Brennan will persevere! #hepersevered.
I was furious when that POS subversive commie scum was confirmed. I’m still ticked about it.
Ironically these scumbuckets all scream about being silenced when they came from an administration that did its best to silence people. Just so you know the IRS is settling in the millions on that score.
I hope Trump revokes all of their clearances and kicks them to the curb.
What a miserable, nasty, awful man. No reason on the face of the earth he should retain clearance. None whatsoever.
On Hannity last night, Levin really, really rip into Brennan. It was beautiful to watch and hear.
