Rand Paul to ask Trump to revoke Brennan security clearance

[Poiuyt]

Republican Sen. Rand Paul tweeted Monday that he will ask President Donald Trump to revoke the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan, who criticized Trump's performance last week at the Helsinki summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In an unusual move, Paul wrote that he will meet with Trump on Monday to discuss allegations that Brennan is "monetizing his security clearance" and "making millions of dollars divulging secrets to mainstream media." Paul added that he would ask Trump to revoke Brennan's clearance.

They can dish it out, but they can't take it.

1. KGOP republicans out to silence critics, following the kremlin model

2. Putin's minor lapdog to ask Putin's major lapdog to revoke Brennan security clearance

3. Like a good little Russian asset. He's just as much of a shitbag as his uber-racist dad.

He's just too chummy and sycophant-ish with Drumpf these days, and I don't understand why. There's got to be something there.

6. He's angling for something. All of a sudden he's all pro-trump.

I don't know what it is—maybe a SCOTUS appointment, maybe to replace Pence, or maybe Sessions?

Or he may just want to be there to scoop up deplorable support when trump and Pence go down.

4. It has become abundantly obvious

that someone gave Trump pictures of Rand with little boys or something. Here's another guy who was totally against Trump until the heat of the Russia investigation flared up.

13. Seems like Paul was recently approached with damaging "compromat".

I can't see there's any other way to explain his behavior.

5. Wow!

This certainly sounds like a panic move. What exactly do the Russians have on Rand Paul? And how much does our IC know about those connections? This move would imply: a lot!

7. Rand's MAGNITSKY NO VOTE was his dogwhistle to Putin..

His alliance to the Kremlin is secure.

8. There seems to be more evidence every day that Rand is on the Russian payroll.

9. If that's the standard...ALL the trums need to lose theirs as well.

Making hundreds of millions of dollars already, and setting themselves up for contracts and kick-backs until eternity via the "wall" and other stuff. Brennan is the peoples voice about the intel. If he loses it, he should get re-hired by an intel service as a private contractor and get it back. Brennan is a good man.

10. What a shock

No wonder the Jackass Trumpcicles love them some Rand Paul.

11. wait - monetizing his security clearance?

isn't that Jared Kushner?

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

15. And him w putin? He thinks we are a stupid as his family and friends.

Monetizing that security clearance INDEED. How much did we pay for all the secrets he gave away in 2.5 hours? How many people are going to get killed now in russia or elsewhere bc they've been "Plamed"?

12. Paul hasn't anything better to do with his time.

14. Why is Rand Paul jumping around like a fool for Trump

Did he take Russian Money too?
