Bolton suggest Brennan may have misused classified info.

National Security Adviser John Bolton suggested on Sunday that former CIA director John "Verbose" Bolton may have misused classified information and that the "unprecedented leaks" from this administration may be the catalyst for broader change in how security clearances are handled.

It's about time.

Bolton was in the Jewish State for the first time in his role as a Trump administration official. He was there to discuss national security issues with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu along with other top officials.

"In terms of what [Brennan] said, since he left, a number of people have commented that he couldn't be in the position he is in, criticizing Trump, unless he did use classified info," Bolton told the leftist ABC's "This Week" on Sunday. "I don't know the specifics, but I do know when he was [CIA] director, I was troubled by comments in public, and the politicization."

The mustachioed Bolton added: "My opinion is that he was politicizing intelligence," and saying that Brennan failed to keep intact the "wall of separation between intelligence and policy."

POTUS revoked Brennan's unnecessary security clearance on Wednesday, saying [Trump never suggests, he says] that Brennan has politicized his security clearance and misled Congress about CIA spying in the Senate.

He also voted for the Communist Party and called Trump treasonous, which is a death penalty offense.

Bolton suggested that a broader review of who should retain their security clearance after leaving government service may be needed.

"I think it's certainly appropriate in a time of unprecedented leaks of classified info," he said. "I don't see that there would be anything wrong if it were determined to go that way to review the policies about former officials having clearances. Sometimes it can be useful."

H.R. McMaster says there's more than 1-way to go with NoKo's threat

President Trump's national security adviser H.R. McMaster said Wednesday that the administration is considering additional strategies on how to deal with North Korea. The military option is still very much on the table.

In a security conference along with Homeland Security Chief John Kelly, McMaster said that "The threat is much more immediate now and so it's clear that we can't repeat the same approach--failed approach of the past."

Using Einstein's famous quote in paraphrase he said it would be insanity to continue to do the same thing the U.S. has done for years and expect a different result.

McMaster's words come just a day prior to Trump meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in. The new South Korean leader vowed to stand firmly with President Trump against North Korea, mainly because he'd be a fool not to. Moon downplayed his past desire for a softer, gentler, weak approach toward the hermit nation.

"Together we will achieve the dismantlement of North Korea's nuclear program, peace on the Korean Peninsula and eventually peace in Northeast Asia," Moon said, as he took a deep drag off a fat one.


The talks between Tweetin' Trump and Moonbeam Moon begin tonight and then there will be formal talks tomorrow, Friday.

China wants Trump to negotiate with Kim. That's about as likely as Kim doing a TV ad for Nutri System in spandex biking pants. Trump is frustrated with China's anemic effort to pressure the North with economic pressure.

And corpulent Kim is showing no signs that he wishes to restart talks on giving up his nuclear aspirations. He'd sooner give up his favorite testicle than give up his nuke program.

Moon told liberal newspaper The Washington Post that North Korea's Kim Jong Un is "unreasonable" and "very dangerous." The Washington Post didn't know that.

Moon believes that North Korea needs to be pressured to get compliance from them and bragged that he got a B+ in Political Science, which was obvious when he delayed the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense system the U.S. was going to deploy to the South. It would protect the citizens of South Korea as well as the 28,000 U.S. forces on the peninsula from ballistic missile attacks by the North Koreans.

No big deal, right Moon?

Moon ordered an environmental review before allowing additional launchers for THAAD because not only is he an idiot, he is also worried that shooting off a missile disturbs the hearing of some species of frogs.

White House may sanction N. Korea

As a response to its constant nuclear threats, the Trump administration is considering broad sanctions against North Korea and would cut it from the global financial system. The penalties would target the Chinese that do business with Pyongyang, specifically going after the banks and firms.

North Korea has carried out illicit trading through small Chinese banks. The sanctions proposed would have to threaten to prohibit those banks from the international finance system and make it undesirable for them to do business with the North.

In addition, the U.S. may try to seize additional assets from Kim and his family outside North Korea.

Mr. Trump is scheduled to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping next month, and North Korea is expected to be high on the agenda.

The President met with H.P. McMaster, his national security adviser on Saturday to discuss the situation about North Korea. He came to the conclusion that the North is "acting very, very badly," after the country's rocket-engine test believed to be part of their missile program to have the capability of reaching the U.S.
