'Spies Who Lie' And Former CIA Boss Lose Security Clearance
Active CIA contractors see their access to secrets cease by Trump's orders.
Former CIA Director John Brennan whined Tuesday about President Trump pulling security clearances for 51 ex-intelligence officials including him — all of whom claimed in an infamous letter that The Post’s bombshell scoop on Hunter Biden’s laptop emails in 2020 was part of a “Russian information operation.”
“He misrepresented the facts in that executive order because it said that we had suggested that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation,” Brennan griped to MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell.“No, we said it was one of the hallmarks of Russian information operations, including the dumping of accurate information, which is what we said in that letter,” he added.Critics immediately tore into the former intel boss.
“John Brennan is a pathetic liar,” one X user posted.
“John Brennan, whined on MSNBC about the revocation of his security clearance for lying, and lied again,” independent journalist Glenn Greenwald snarked, pointing to Politico’s story on the letter. “He denied he and CIA goons said the Hunter laptop was ‘Russian disinformation.'”
