Sen. Rand Paul on Friday became the latest senator to call for CIA Director John Brennan to go, concluding he should "be relieved of his post."

The Kentucky senator has been a persistent critic of the Central Intelligence Agency, famously filibustering Brennan's nomination to lead the agency in 2013 on the Senate floor for nearly 13 hours.


Paul said Brennan should step down after inspector general report revelations this week that the CIA improperly accessed computers being used by Senate staffers to research the agency's interrogation and detention practices.

"I not only voted against Brennan, I filibustered his nomination. It is illegal for the CIA to spy on Americans and an affront to our Republic to spy on the Senate. Brennan told the American people that the CIA did not spy on the Senate but now he admits that they did. Brennan should dismiss those responsible for breaking the law and be relieved of his post," Paul said in an emailed statement.

Rand Paul is one of the few members of Congress standing up for our civil liberties.

And most Americans don't care. More reason for an IQ test to vote.

Most Americans don't even know that the CIA isn't supposed to operate on American soil

Obama came out in support of Brennan. Didn't some high-ranking Rep Senator defend him too, saying they'd been told what was going on?

It's a party in the CIA these days. Time to rein that in.

We need to get the CIA back to inel gathering. Leave the direct action crap to the military.

So far, the only Senators I know of that are openly criticizing Brennan and calling for his ouster are Rand Paul, Mark Udall (D-CO), and Martin Heinrich (D-NM). Haven't looked into it very deeply though.

Will never get off the ground....smacks of 'bi-partisan' which is a big no-no....let's not look at anything but the letters behind the names before rejecting.
