Why? He's still a security expert.

Whose knowledge isn't current, is cut off from his network, and thus has an expiring level of relevance.

He doesn't make his living "peddling" privileged information - he's not allowed to sell classified material to other people no matter what his clearance.

He, along with the other 50 arseholes, used their positions to insinuate there was Russian influence behind Hunter's Laptop.

They used the prestige of their former positions to drive home the implication that the whole thing was a nothingburger and they did it to explicitly sway an election. Why were they able to do that? Because of the implicit trust that Americans place in the people that are charged with assembling, seeing and comprehending secret information.

They abused that trust, and now they need to pay.

It's worth noting that Trump did not end up revoking Brennan's security clearance.

Which says more about Trump and the degree of ruthlessness that he should have...but doesn't.

The democrats are lucky *I'm* not President. Were I so, the next 10 generations of dems would know not to mess with the spirit and the fabric of our Constitutional Republic. Believe that.
