If the press didn't chase after this Brennan story like six year olds after a soccer ball, it would disincent Trump from making this a trend.

Navy v. Egan, btw, is the SCOTUS precedent that says POTUS has fairly broad authorities to revoke someone's security clearance. It's what WHes use to claim they can classify or declassify at will. Was used to justify outing Valerie Plame and leak Iraq WMD to the press.

Brennan would prolly have a pretty good case to challenge Navy v. Egan (reminder, NAL). But if he succeeded, it would make it easier, say, for
@JasonLeopold to FOIA CIA.Show this thread -
Anyway, this is more interesting, IMO, bc it's the second very public humiliation of Dan Coats (after learning Trump wanted another Putin meeting while on stage at Aspen).

Any number of whistleblowers will tell you security clearances were already politicized. Or you could ask David Petraeus about it.

Hero or Bigmouth?

Sorry. Human. But possibly you're a bot? Generating a response like that because you don't agree with a point of view? Because it doesn't take thought to just put out the word bot!

Yes, I issued a 1-word dismissal of your tweet "Hero or Big Mouth" Funny how your assessment of a complex political situation (w/both historical precedent & myriad future consequence)& involving this much pathology on CIC's part, could be delineated/parsed in just 4 words by you.pic.twitter.com/gN3nrpSkbO

We really need to know what Brett Kavanaugh thought about Navy v Egan and whether he has been in touch with the WH recently regarding revoking security clearances or anything else

After you'll retweet about how he lied to Feinstein and lied about the CIA spying on her committee.
