Revoke them all, please. Noone who no longer works in government needs one, it's a national security risk, and it creates an insider/outsider culture.

That's not true. For decades, former FBI & CIA officials have often kept their security clearances after leaving the job so they can be called back to consult or offer advice on national security issues. So stripping him of his clearance actually puts us at risk.

Still violates the Constitution. Should never have been done. What's wrong with current FBI and CIA officials? BS. Creates a ruling lcass.

Please show us where it "violates the Constitution"...

She can't.

Just did.

No... you didn't. The Constitution addresses protocols surrounding security clearances exactly nowhere.

If anything it raises questions like is that constitutional? And unless you provided the exact section of the constitution or screen shotted it, you provided no actual evidence to support your claim. You sir nailed it.

McRaven has tarnished his legacy by supporting that disgrace, Brennan. I get it, you know him, worked with him, but he is a deeply flawed person prone to power not principle. Keep your uniformed mouth shut and let the American people judge Trump's actions free of your temerity.

"Prone to power not principle" You just nailed Trump there.

Trump was ELECTED, people knew his character and still wanted him. Brennan? He was APPOINTED to his position and GRANTED security clearance. He has been dismissed by his commander and has had his clearance revoked by the same. Do you have a problem with due process?

Trump got in via the electoral college so he was kind of appointed too.

That's a pretty weak position, Claire

Losing the popular vote is a weak position. Starting a trade war against your allies is a weak position. Saying publicly you trust a foreign power over your own countrymen is a weak position.

Considering that not only has the the US GDP increased this past quarter (so has Canada's and Mexico's), it a war with few casualties. NOT renegotiating from a position of strength, like Trump is obviously doing, is as weak as your rhetorical ability.

Only a few casualties. Nail company in MO; Carrier; Harley-Davidson; Soybean farmers; tourism for the entire US; Caterpillar; Construction Industry; Hmmmm, I know I’m forgetting a “few” casualties. Glad you care about your fellow Americans. But keep on loving tRump

Actually, when I received my Top Secret clearance, the briefing officer said that the fact that I HAD the clearance was not to be shared with ANYONE except those with a "need-to-know" and any change was also a secret. Trump violated standard policy just by going public.

and this tweet is also in violation of national security for the same reason. I hope I'll be excused since I only had the clearance for a few months 45 years ago.

Wouldn’t worry- rules don’t apply during this administration.
