Sorry for using wrong word by mistake. I knew he wasn’t fired but my brain faltered. I can’t walk and chew gum.

45 didn't fire Brennan, he revoked his security clearance.
McCraven's honor (and request) will likely be ignored by 45 here. But it would be interesting to see what would happen if McCraven became as vocal a critic as Brennan.

Revoke security clearances for all in positions during the campaign and hobble those same people when they testify. They can no longer review their files.

McCarthyism.
Absolutely, seeing the Red Menace in every level of the administration, every policy, every move.
Imagining Russians everywhere and everybody being in cahoots with the Russians.
Seeing Russian hand behind every inconvenient argument, Russian agents behind every inconvenient discourse.
You are right, sekker, it is pure McCarthyism .....

Those signing the letter were former CIA Directors William Webster, George Tenet, Porter Goss, Michael Hayden, Leon Panetta and David Petraeus; former CIA Deputy Directors John McLaughlin, Stephen Kappes, Michael Morel, Avril Haines and David Cohen; and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.

Who should we believe, max and Trump, proven liars and spreaders of fake news, or a man who is the former director of the C.I.A, the former United States Homeland Security Advisor, and the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center?

Observed, not invented. Nothing to do with McCarthyism at all. Once again, max fails miserably.
