William McRaven, commander of the U.S. Navy SEAL raid that killed Osama bin Laden, condemned President Donald Trump on Thursday for revoking the security clearance of former CIA chief John Brennan – and asked that his be canceled as well.

Few Americans have done more to protect this country than John,' McRaven wrote of Brennan. 'He is a man of unparalleled integrity, whose honesty and character have never been in question, except by those who don't know him.'

'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.'

I stole this from another thread:

quote:

Director Brennan’s recent statements purport to know as fact that the Trump campaign colluded with a foreign power. If Director Brennan’s statement is based on intelligence he received while still leading the CIA, why didn’t he include it in the Intelligence Community Assessment released in 2017? If his statement is based on intelligence he has seen since leaving office, it constitutes an intelligence breach. If he has some other personal knowledge of or evidence of collusion, it should be disclosed to the Special Counsel, not The New York Times. “If, however, Director Brennan’s statement is purely political and based on conjecture, the president has full authority to revoke his security clearance as head of the Executive Branch.”


This does not sound anything like a man of integrity, and I hope President Trump honors Admiral McRaven's request to remove his security clearance.

They're all members of the same clubs, so of course they'll come to the aid of each other.

Never trust anyone above O-6 or field grade except under extenuating circumstances.

All I've ever seen is a man of integrity, therefore he must be one! Nobody has ever fallen into that trap!

If/when Brennan is exposed I wonder if the Admiral will have the integrity to admit he didn't know him as well as he thought he did.
