As Twitchy readers know, John Brennan's security clearance has been YANKED ... and there has been great rejoicing.
Except from Brennan himself who is not dealing well with it. Suppose he got very comfortable with the amount of power and information he had access to even though it sounds more and more like he abused it for political reasons.
*cough cough*
After whining about it online the pushback has been, shall we say, MASSIVE.
Almost as if there is some sort of MANDATE against him and everything he did.
Ahem.
John Brennan has lied to Congress about spying on them, lied in the Hunter Biden letter, & is once again incredibly full of sh*t in his explanation of how he wasn’t lying in the Hunter letter. He’s lucky his only punishment is the security clearance. pic.twitter.com/lkt7KaHdzN

What she said.
Jonathan Turley took him apart:
John Brennan is lashing out at the "misrepresentation" of the laptop letter and Trump's removal of clearances of the signatories. https://t.co/0NAqwUWSQ0 I happen to disagree with the decision to rescind the clearances, but Brennan's defense only undermines that position...

Aha!
Keep going:
...There are a variety of arguments against the removal, including hampering discussions between current and former officials. However, the letter was clearly arranged by Biden campaign supporters with the intent to influence the election... https://t.co/ra0vecU76O

Who knew?
Oh right, we all did.
...The letter contradicted the view of the intelligence agencies themselves and signatories like Wise later acknowledged that he assumed that many of the emails were likely authentic. Biden then used the letter, as intended, to deflect questions on the influence-peddling scandal.

Read that again.
... to deflect questions on the inlfucence-peddling scandal.
And then Joe pardoned his son for a HUGE amount of time and crimes.
Huh.
When former government employees use their security clearance maliciously, they deserve to lose it.

They are Trump haters they go on all of the far left news, outlets, and leak information, admitting, sometimes or adding other times, untruths, that would be lies, and because…
They deserve to lose it.
Indeed.
John Brennan should be drinking water out of a bowl on a prison cell floor for the rest of his life. https://t.co/aIKSX7c1QZ

Yup. Brennan is definitely privileged to ONLY lose his security clearance which he clearly abused and misused.
Not seeing any people feeling overly sorry for Brennan, even a little bit.
