I am still confused on how stripping someone's secret clearance is hindering and suppressing their freedom of speech...

I think the argument is that he lost his clearance because he exercised his first amendment right and this is to silence him. That's the argument.

However, when you have a clearance everything you do is under a broader microscope.

Clearances are privileges not a right. He can still say what he was saying nothing changes. He'll have to reapply for a clearance if he ever needs it again.

I was told, no it was demanded - by liberals that the American intelligence aparatus is most dangerous and responsible for bloody revolutions, collecting information on innocent Americans, and intelligence failures throughout history.

And, well, they aren't wrong.

So, I have as a good honest person after reviewing the information support the idea that our American intelligence apparatus is dangerous and something that should be questioned, heavily. Thank you liberals for opening my eyes.

Then, suddenly, Trump wins the Presidency and liberals are all like "American intelligence is unassailable! It's dangerous to question them! Trust Brennan and Comey and the Dossier! Security clearances are important."

I’m beginning to be skeptical of the whole enterprise from liberals. It's almost as if they are team over country.

What's scary is that I think they actually believe their bs. So many of these people are delusional, dembots lacking in common sense or any sense of their own ridiculousness.

What I find most amazing is that they have chosen as a paragon of virtue someone who has lied under oath to congress.

If the purpose of the clearance is to be able to give advice on national security issues, and the current administration does not want his input (he's not to be trusted). Why does he need a clearance?

To paraphrase Rumsfeld: You go into political/media battles with the spokesmen you have.

The CIA tried to get the Benghazi operators to sign NDAs after that disaster.

And Brennan had them try to do it DURING the memorial service.
