Great piece Jon. With DOGE exposing the corrupt bureaucracy on a daily basis, it becomes clear why the left went to such lengths to protect it. In 2016, Trump sounded like a conspiracy theorist when he said he was getting spied on. With DODE’s work, I hope the majority of American’s now understand what many of us have known for years; The democrat party is built on lies, corruption and an anti-American belief system. They will stop at nothing.

Yep. US bureaucracy is also built on lies and corruption.

Exposing the corruptness? Lmao. There are ways to expose corruption under the law. By ignoring law, you ignore the very fabric which the freedoms we have provide. But this grab of power, and ignorance of people that continue to think this is the way to go about show how lost this country is. We have misinformation being spread faster than the speed of sound, and each side is focusing on the latest craziness while the entire govt is dismantled - which will dismantle the entire freedoms we have. I’m all for rooting out waste, but any looney tune that thinks Musk is the person for the job should read some history books before they are all banned. The constitution was already removed from the whitehouse.gov website. I wonder why. And another writer with a title of “Christian”. The latest buzz word in the country. I’ve been a Christian for 53 years, served as an altar boy for 8 years and nothing about your article or opinion is anything that resembles Christianity. Not even close. You are a disgrace to Christianity

Brennan is too much. Here’s the game he’s trying to play. You see I never said that the laptop was Russian disinformation. I said it had all the hallmarks of that. Okay there is a distinction there. So when it was obvious that the news media was interpreting this statement to mean that this was disinformation , how come Brennan never pointed out , that isn’t what I said. How come, when it was clear the laptop wasn’t disinformation, Brennan never pointed out that while it might have had the hallmarks of disinformation, it wasn’t. Well the answer is obvious. Of course he wanted people to think the laptop was disinformation, even though he probably never believed it was but when the truth came out, he wanted to claim it was disinformation. A kind of plausible deniability strategy , that actually isn’t that plausible. I’ve always been intrigued by the fact that the head of the CIA was at one point- 1976- a supporter of the Communist Party. I mean after the Khrushchev speech, the Hungarian Revolution and the 68 invasion of Czechoslovakia, this guy supported the resolutely pro Russian CPUSA? And he became head of the CIA ! There’s something wrong with that picture. How did that happen?

@John Kelleher

Are you talking about this?

"George HW Bush served as Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) from January 1976 to January 1977, just ten days shy of one full year" at https://www.cia.gov/stories/story/george-h-w-bush-the-11th-director-of-central-intelligence/

Why not name the dude?

They deserve to lose more than their security clearances.

That’s a slap on the wrist. They should be prosecuted.

The question should be this: When will the mainstream media stop acting like every human being alive has such short memories that they think they can lie their way into and past anything? They've literally lost their sanity - They've been outsmarted and proven wrong, which has, in turn, hurt their credibility. But it seems like MSM is intent on putting their credibility into even more jeopardy that it's already in, while they still have it in their heads that they're telling the truth.

If you want any real facts here, it's that they're going to spit out whatever the intel community tells them to, get caught, lose more credibility, then do it again. Sooner or later, even their most ardent defenders are going to turn their backs on them, and they'll somehow blame it on Trump, climate change, fascism, or a combination thereof. That's pure arrogance on MSM's part.

Retire them all because they misused their credentials to handle a political matter when they should have kept quiet. I’m glad the President is sweeping up the dust and taking out the trash that is the deep state.

Brennan is political slime and has been for far longer than he has held a top secret clearance. His penchant for lying publicly and loudly is well known and his only relevance is to the shrinking percentage of the public dedicated to Trump's downfall. In short John Brennan can be trusted to buy groceries from a list his wife might give him. Beyond that he should be given a wide berth, as should Mark Milley, and a sizable number of former Joint Chiefs.

Except for Senator Wyden being a Marxist himself, I agree that Brennan would seem to be talking way too fast in attempting to obfuscate his agency’s spying on Its own cohorts.

The price should not only be that they lost their security clearances, but that they be prosecuted to the full extent of the law for the crimes they committed. They sought to deprive us of our right to vote. They sought to suppress the vote. They used the mere possession of a security clearance to give the imprimatur of legitimacy to their lies and now they dissemble the plain meaning of their words. A rope about all of their necks is the correct solution to the problem.

I agree on prosecution, but I feel like the left is looking for a reason to be validated in their narrative that "Trump is going after his enemies" . This is preposterous because if his "enemies' broke the law they SHOULD be prosecuted. However, with the legacy media covering for them, this false narrative looks like truth to the uninformed and to the left.

All lied to Congress which is a felony. Not very intelligent to put such lies on paper and sign off

In my opinion, once you do not work for the government anymore, you should not have a security clearance and that should be automatic.
