Sen. Rand Paul: ‘We Are Safer’ Now That John Brennan Doesn’t Have A Security Clearance
Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul alleged on Monday that the United States will be safer now that former CIA chief John Brennan no longer has a security clearance.
“I think John Brennan’s actually a national security risk to the country and we are safer because his security clearance’s gone,” Paul said. “The reason I say that is in 2012 he actually released information to other CIA agents who went on TV and said, ‘oh, we have a double agent in Yemen.'”
“Their life was put at risk because of John Brennan’s releasing information that he shouldn’t have,” Paul explained.
“He shouldn’t be within a mile of classified information because he’s a national security risk — he doesn’t know how to keep his mouth shut,” Paul concluded.
