Dump Sessions. He is a long time swamp dweller.
Maybe some of these a holes have consulting jobs now because of their clearance. F them. Let them get to Trump if they want them back. Good call Rand!!!!!!
Pull their SECURITY CLEARANCES!!! What aren’t these people in prison?
January 20th, 2017 should have been the cut off date for ALL swamp dwellers.
WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙁 🙁 🙁
Their security clearances were left in place in order to allow them to hang themselves with their own rope.
Timing is everything.

“I don’t know what to say.I think this is just a very, very petty. A petty thing to do. And that’s about all I’ll say about it.” . . . calling the continuing clearance a “courtesy” for former intelligence officials.

Why would any former official need to keep their security clearance?
I recall in the Air Force being sworn in and out and signing off on never giving out info on information that I had had access to. Later with a civilian job, I had to reapply for the clearance. Why do these folks get a different treatment?? Oh, wait they are special people, I think not.
Rand never got a nickname from Trump, did he? Somehow, he avoided all that primary mudslinging and Trump’s sharp elbows. And just before he announced his candidacy, he filibustered the nomination of John Brennan for CIA director.
I think Rand has been a low-key ally of Trump since Rand figured out what the Deep State was up to, He and Trump shared some common enemies,and Rand may be a key player in the unraveling of the Deep State. Maybe that brutal attack by his neighbor was meant to send a message, Brennan-style.
The penalty for Treason used to be death.
Now it’s a debate about security clearance.
My, how we have fallen.
Clapper is a KNOWN PUBLIC liar (before Congress: the Moslem Brotherhood is a secular organization).
I haven’t followed Brennan, but I’m fairly sure that he is, as well.
Not lies like: “No, Mrs. Clinton, that muu muu doesn’t make you look fat.” But serious lies intended to weaken our resolve against the sworn enemies of our country.

Remember who lost his security clearance last month, a couple of weeks before his Congressional testimony? MSM sure did spike that nugget of news, didn’t they? Only people who read right-of-center news sites would know.
It’s Swamp Courtesy. One party loses and install their people and then the other party wins and they reinstall the same people as before. So why revoke – they’re just going to end up back in there in 4-8 years.

If Sandy Berger hadn’t died, Hillary would have given him his clearance back. So she had to settle with continuing to honor his right to vote.
Ryan take on this.
