Knowing the terrible record of the "Intelligence" people under Clinton, Bush, and Obama, it isn't surprising that these "Intelligence" people are upset.

Did you see the list of signatories?
Maybe, just maybe, trump is wrong on this.
And maybe he is right and they are wrong.
It's not like they haven't been wrong before.
Naaaah. They can only be wrong when Democrats think they're wrong.

IMO the way these different people who were all parts of different political administrations are sticking together on this show a kind of weakness in how our "intelligence" works.
Does it mean that although they served under different Presidents, their basic "Intelligence" remained the same?
Shouldn't they all have had different perspectives?

Not in the case of Brennan..that rabid dog needed his revoked asap.

I'm going to tell you this from first hand experience... this is not the military I know - where commanders take sides, and so overtly. Trump may be wrong on a lot of things, but he is the Commander in Chief and doesn't deserve this sort of disrespect. The commanders that signed this letter give our military a bad name. What sort of military produces political hacks?
And let's point out something else... This is only 12 people out of hundreds. A pin prick. But they don't recognize that the president has this authority. What they also don't recognize is Trump is not one of them - part of the establishment Trump is trying to get rid of - and I'm all for it. We are a weaker nation because of people like this - people that are supposed to show an air of neutrality in their politics. It's very sad to see people that held so much power would abuse this power and influence to destroy a duly elected and sitting president.
So, they can bitch and complain all they want about their precious security clearances and how unprecedented this is; while they are also committing unprecedented acts by condemning a sitting president.
EDIT: and another point on this... I suspect the reason former CIA directors jumped on this is because it breaks up their little club. I mentioned in another thread that all former and sitting CIA directors hold a conference every year to discuss ongoing and past intel. It requires having this clearance because of the classified nature of what they discuss. Brennen would be exempt. This breaks the club up, and they don't like it.

That has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. These are supposed to be highly intelligent people, and make such ignorant statements. Again, these people are having their authority within the establishment stripped away; something they've had control over for decades; and they are lost as to how to deal with it. The other part is, they are slowly getting caught with their hands in the cookie jar regarding the whole Trump collusion bit.

When he went to saudi Arabia and converted to Islam his clearance should have been terminated at that time.
Instead another Muslim made him spymaster.
i hope Trump can straighten out Obama's mess's in 8 years but I doubt it.
Really? Because I think we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg.
The real damage started in the 90s.

That makes a lot of sense as long as you aren’t looking for logic or reason.
Coming from someone who is capable of neither.
