Kaitlan CollinsVerified account @kaitlancollinsThe date on President Trump's statement about revoking John Brennan's security clearance? July 26. Three weeks ago. I guess it's just a coincidence that the White House decided to announce this as they struggle to deal with the fallout from Omarosa's book. pic.twitter.com/c6TvfmOD9e2 replies 42 retweets 92 likesShow this thread -

John O. BrennanVerified account @JohnBrennanThis action is part of a broader effort by Mr. Trump to suppress freedom of speech & punish critics. It should gravely worry all Americans, including intelligence professionals, about the cost of speaking out. My principles are worth far more than clearances. I will not relent. https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1029803310444892162 …3 replies 41 retweets 101 likesShow this thread -
Brennan: "I am very worried about the message that Mr Trump is sending to others. ... Is this an effort to try to cow individuals [in and out of government] to make sure that they don't say anything critical of Mr. Trump?"
