Appearing Tuesday on CNN, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) slammed the intelligence community over a recent report claiming it defied an order from President Donald Trump to revoke the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan.
A partial transcript is as follows:
HOST BRIANNA KEILAR: I want to ask you, because you’ve been really a critic of John Brennan, who has been a critic of President Trump. You’ve not been a big fan of him. You’ve said that. He’s the former CIA director under President Obama. What do you think about this recent New York Times story that Brennan still has his security clearance? This was such a big, I guess, promise of the president’s, demand of the president. He said he was going to pull it, and he still has it.
SEN. RAND PAUL: Well, this is what worries me. People talk about the Deep State. Now the Deep State is actually protecting their own and not listening to the president’s orders. I was sitting in the White House when President Trump said, “I want his security clearance taken,” and I saw the order given. I saw the chief of staff was there, not the current chief of staff, the previous chief of staff.

All of Obama's Administration should have their security clearances pulled ASAP. This should include Clinton and her accomplices including Bill Clinton. They are all acting in a treasonous manner and should not have access to national security information.
Very telling, Obama visiting and supporting world enemies and subverting Trumps presidency, treasonous POS Obama needs to be in Gitmo with the rest if his administration.
The swamp looks after its own and screw the citizens.
Judicial Watch believes at least 25% of the ABC agencies are corrupt. Something Must be done to clean this up.
Most government agencies are run by liberals that answer to no one.
Trump has alot of his orders ignored. This has saved him from prison and saved our country from dictatorship
