First of all, "they" don't need it, "we" do. We need them to advise and share their expertise and knowledge with newer and less experieicned individiuals charged with national security.
At this point I have no doubt that Brennan has shared everything he knows about the Russian intereference in the 2016 election with Mueller's team, but should he called as a witness he won't be aboe to access his own classified notes, and I'm not sure he's even able to talk about classified information that he may be fluent in without his security clearance.
As perhaps the President's most important national security aide, Brennan has been a key general in the shadow wars that the U.S. has been fighting around the globe during the first Obama administration. He's also been in a position to disclose secrets surrounding those espionage, sabotage and paramilitary operations. And many of those secrets have in recent months leaked out into the public.
Of particular concern to some intelligence committee senators is a teleconference that Brennan held with TV counterterror pundits on May 7, after the U.S. foiled an attempt by al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula to detonate an underwear bomb. According to Reuters, Brennan said during the call that the attack was never a major threat, because the U.S. had "inside control" over the plot. Commentators took that to mean that the American government had a double agent within the terror group, and talked about a likely U.S. mole on television. That effectively ended what was arguably the most successful human intelligence operation against al-Qaida in 11 years since 9/11. The double agent had to be pulled from the terrorists' ranks.
It wasn't the only leak. White House officials began disclosing details – sometime erroneous details – about the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound just hours after the terror leader's death was confirmed. Over the late spring and early summer of 2012, minutiae about how the White House selects its targets for robotic assassination began appearing in newspapers and books. According to one of those books, Dan Klaidman's Kill or Capture, Brennan was one of three men at the center of that decision-making process, along with Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. "Hoss" Cartwright and the President himself. "The three form[ed] a kind of holy trinity or targeted killings," Klaidman writes.
It is just silly to think that Brennan could ever be trustworthy.
He shared all his information..end of story...he can spend the rest of his days as a MSM news contributor.

It's not like I've ever tried to hide that or denied that fact Foxy. You know we have history that goes further back than February 2016.
Are you attempting to out me or something.
Obviously the terms and conditions allows for people to "try again" or I wouldn't be here.
I believe this is not an encouraged topic.
I've been a practicing witch for twenty five years.
In case you're interested.

What happened to the peaceful transfer of power? The Obama Administration is not the enemy of the American people.
So, which is it? Is Brennan using his CIA connections to overthrow the president through a military coup, or is he using politics and his political free speech to affect public opinion?
What is dangerous or illegal about a former CIA director expressing political opinions and insight, as long as they are not exposing classified information? Fox News has no problem employing former high level government officials for commentary when it suits their agenda. Why should NBC be different?

you're talking about that election where comey went out shortly before the election day and announced to the world that they were reopening the investigation into hillary's email... but not a peep out of anyone about the investigation that was going on into the trump campaign and their connections to russians??? if they were out to tip the election to anyone, I would have to say they were wanting to tip it towards Trump!!
