If I had Brennan's background, back in the 70s, I could have never gotten any security clearance at all.

He was a political operative (a commissar), not an intelligence operative.  Not unlike Attorney Generals who are not competent prosecutors, but are personal friends of the President (see John Mitchell).

Many Trotskyites migrated to the Republicans back in that time frame ... for general historical perspective:

You must mean the 1870s...
