#4 Brennan, the Communist and Muslim, doesn't like when others play rough?

#6 Ref #5: “It was a topic of conversation within the office,” Mr. Bigley told The Times. “What is Halper doing, and why is he being paid astronomically more than others similarly situated?”

Halper's 'job' was very likely a cover for action (vehicle for payment) for other services not mentioned.

#7 @#2: Excellent post.

Now, if only its essence could be brought to a 5th grade level so the USA GenPop could understand it.

#9 That MESH link is great. Nausea-inducing, but great. I get the feeling I am looking at an op, but not a home-grown op.

#10 I don't like MI-6, Russians and Ukrainians all over the MESH op. I suspect Brennan and O and Hill are owned by those 3. Clinton's old witch All-Dim is all through the conspiracy too.

#11 MESH - sounds like a bunch of low level crooks, hacks, sleazoids, frauds, bullshit artists and con artists got together and call themselves a "high–level source network with a sophisticated investigative capability".

#12 Why did he still have a clearance? You leave the job, you get read off, and thats it, no more need to know = no more clerance. Thats how it worked after leaving the service, thats how it worked after leaving a contract job that required an SSBI type clearance. Why should he retain a clearance when he has NO NEED TO KNOW?

#13 Brennan as quarterback for the operation according to Rudy.

#14 As visceral as these guys are to Trump, what we are finding must only be scratching the surface...

#15 Why should he retain a clearance when he has NO NEED TO KNOW?

Once your 5 year PR (Periodic Re-Investigation) is completed, your clearance is good for another five years, unless it is suspended or revoked.

#16 But upon separation of federal service (retired big shots aside such as flag officers), your clearance is still "in scope" for two years if the investigation anniversary date has not passed. Two years ought to give people enough time to find a Beltway Bandit job.

#17 Pretty obviously this asshole will NOT be consulted in the future by this Admin. He's a treasonous cancer with known Islamic/Commie links. Why ANYONE thought he should be in intel is beyond me
