CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 17, 2018
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS REVOKED THE SECURITY CLEARANCE OF FORMER CIA DIRECTOR JOHN BRENNAN. BRENNAN HAS BEEN A NONSTOP CRITIC OF THE PRESIDENT SINCE HIS ELECTION. HE NOW SAYS TRUMP’S CLAIMS OF NO COLLUSION WITH RUSSIA IN THE 2016 ELECTION IS “HOGWASH.”
THE FACT IS NO EVIDENCE HAS BEEN DISCOVERED THAT PROVES COLLUSION OTHER THAN ONE MEETING AT TRUMP TOWER AT WHICH A RUSSIAN HAD PROMISED DAMAGING INFORMATION ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON, INFORMATION THAT WAS NEVER FORTHCOMING. IN ANY CASE, THAT IS CALLED OPPOSITION RESEARCH AND BOTH PARTIES DO IT. DEMOCRATS PAID FOR THE BOGUS STEELE DOSSIER ABOUT TRUMP IN A MOSCOW HOTEL WITH PROSTITUTES. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT THE RUSSIANS TAMPERED WITH BALLOTS. PRESIDENT OBAMA SAID THAT WAS NOT POSSIBLE.
NO FORMER CIA DIRECTOR HAS GONE TO WAR WITH A SITTING PRESIDENT. THIS PRESIDENT IS RIGHT TO REVOKE HIS SECURITY CLEARANCE. HE SHOULD DO THE SAME FOR OTHERS WHO PUT THEIR POLITICAL GOALS AHEAD OF THE COUNTRY. I’M CAL THOMAS.
