Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) wondered aloud Monday, without offering any evidence, whether former CIA Director John Brennan was using his security clearance to spill state secrets to media outlets.

Paul said he would ask President Donald Trump, frequently the target of Brennan’s criticisms, to revoke his security clearance.

Paul’s office did not respond to TPM’s request for comment.

Brennan, who served in various positions in the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations and is frequently the target of progressives’ criticism, has attacked Trump repeatedly in recent months.

Last week, he said Trump’s press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin “rises to & exceeds the threshold of ‘high crimes & misdemeanors,’” adding that it was “nothing short of treasonous.”

Paul unsuccessfully filibustered Brennan’s nomination to lead the CIA in 2013.

November 2018 cannot get here fast enough....................we need paper ballots.....................vote

1. I wonder

when Rand Paul stopped raping puppies AND beating Mitch McConnell's wife?

[sandensea]

12. And if Bitchy Mitchy's father-in-law has stopped trafficking cocaine to the Netherlands.

If I were a betting man, I'd say no bookie would take it.

[bronxiteforever]

2. The Rand Paul Russian revolution n/t

[pecosbob]

3. The world wonders, with plenty of evidence

if papa made him read the Fountainhead one time too many...

[Freethinker65]

4. Nunes is. Maybe we should let Rand know so he can pass that on to Trump?

[matt819]

5. Okay, we can all play that game

I wonder if Rand Paul is a Russian asset doing Russia's bidding, and has since he was first elected.

I wonder if Rand Paul is having an affair with Mitch McConnell's wife.

I wonder if the fight with his neighbor was because Rand Paul was having an affair with the neighbor's wife.

I wonder if Rand Paul is the love child of Ron Paul and Ayn Rand.

I wonder if Rand Paul has his hair permed to keep those oh so attractive curls.

I mean, I'm not saying any of that is true. It's just that I wonder.

[kimbutgar]

10. That rats nest on his head is a toupee

[MurrayDelph]

17. I wonder

If he screws Nutria (aka Swamp Rats) in the hopes of breeding a toupee that looks more like his own hair

When he stopped raping warthogs

[iscooterliberally]

18. I wonder if Rand Paul suffered serious brain damage?

His neighbor knocked him off his mower and put him in the hospital. Maybe he's unfit to serve as senator now?

[dem4decades]

6. Have either of the Pauls taken any Russian money?

For elections or foundations?

[Scarsdale]

7. I wonder if Rand

started to "wonder" about this AFTER he golfed with the Orange Anus Sunday? I wonder why Paul's neighbor hit him? Why only ONE neighbor? I wonder if he snatched his toupe off during the scuffle?

[riversedge]

8. You have got to be kidding me. Rand Paul, are you compromised? Just asking for a friend...

In a tweet on Monday morning, Sen. Paul wrote:

The Republican Senator then added:

Sen. Paul’s comments about John Brennan come after Fox News host Tucker Carlson pointed out last week that the former CIA director still holds a high-security clearance, despite not working for the government anymore. But this isn’t unusual for a former director. They often keep their security clearance after leaving office. Current officials sometimes ask them for assistance during times of turnover.

The Republican Senator then added:

9. Rand is also a Russian asset who needs to be outed and convicted for treason

[edbermac]

11. I wonder if Rand Paul is a pedophile like his pal Roy Moore.

[vlyons]

13. Let's get clear about Rand Paul

He is an Ayn Rand lover. Damn his Dad, Ron Paul, even named his son after Ayn Rand. She called her philosophy, the virtue of selfishness. Politically, that would be best realized by unbridled capitalism. She saw the leading industrialists and oligarchs as heros, and socialists as scumbag moochers and takers. So is it any wonder that Rand Paul wants to obstruct any inquiry into the doings of his hero Russian oligarchs?

[sandensea]

15. Exactly. Randism is basically the proverbial snake eating its tail.

Which is why Putin wants it to govern America. Only the worst will do for us, as far as he;s concerned.

[MarcA]

16. Exactly, and their mafia wife supporters and enablers. n/t

[woundedkarma]

14. Considering how republicans work...

I would consider it absolute proof that rand paul is "using his security clearance to spill state secrets to media outlets."

After all, whenever they accuse someone of something it turns out they were doing that exact thing all along.

[dchill]

19. Randsky Paulsky.

[Honeycombe8]

20. DITTO! That's an outrageous claim. What "secrets" are being divulged in the media?

The same secrets that Trump gave the Russians when they were in the Oval Office? THOSE secrets?

[FreepFryer]

21. Rand Paul compiling the Trump enemies list? He will lose his seat for this, come a day. (n/t)

[Bob Loblaw]

22. Any real estate listings in his neighborhood?

He's in need of another ass whippin'.

[bucolic_frolic]

23. Rand Paul catching Trump disease - seeing things that do not happen, like a

witch hunt in reverse
