      Note regarding those who already have said that their security clearances were revoked. This review would include, per Sanders, the ability to reapply for security clearances in the future.

      The 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/c6TvfmOD9e

      Warner said revoking John Brennan’s clearance is an effort to “distract” the American public and called it an “eerie memory of an enemy’s list” and said that it “smacks of Nixonian types of practices.” He said he believed Mueller’s team’s clearances could be next

      This 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.

          What new law? There is no existing law. These clearances are retained beacuse the historical knowledge of threats is ongoing. This transcends party. It is how we cover all aspects of keeping our country safe. It is not a toy to snatch away from an errant child.

          If you weren't so completely ignorant on the subjects you discuss Don't Stop (as in Don't Stop trying to bring us back to the stone age) you'd see that Trump had valid reasons listed for revoking his clearance. Among these are Brennan's partisan nature and erratic behavior.
