Trump strips ex-CIA director and sharp critic of security clearance
Nope...Trump doesn't understand his job at all...utterly freaking clueless. He is stripping Brennan's clearance because Brennan says bad things about Trump and his Administration??? That's the kind of BS they pull in Russia. That is not how things work here.
I bet all the ignorati types will be cheering for this...while they claim to be students of the Constitution, Patriots and steadfast supporters of the "rule of law"!!! Oh also piss and moan about some athlete or kid taking a knee for the national anthem or pledge. You all see nothing but horror in those actions but will applaud this inept, incompetent and unfit President for essentially doing the exact same thing.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump moved to penalize an outspoken critic on Wednesday, revoking the security clearance of Obama-era CIA Director John Brennan for what he said was “a series of unfounded and outrageous allegations” about his administration.
Trump, in a statement read to reporters by White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders, also announced he was evaluating whether other former high-ranking officials - all of whom have criticized him - should have their security clearances withdrawn as well.
The decision came a day after Brennan, who headed the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency under Democratic President Barack Obama, leveled a blistering attack against Trump for the president’s tweeted criticism of former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman, who wrote a book critical of Trump.
“It’s astounding how often you fail to live up to minimum standards of decency, civility, & probity. Seems like you will never understand what it means to be president, nor what it takes to be a good, decent, & honest person. So disheartening, so dangerous for our Nation,” Brennan wrote.
Trump, without mentioning specific comments made by Brennan, said the former CIA leader had engaged in “frenzied commentary” and had sought to “sow division and chaos” about the Trump administration.
“Mr. Brennan has recently leveraged his status as a former high-ranking official with access to highly sensitive information to make a series of unfounded and outrageous allegations – wild outbursts on the internet and television – about this administration,” Trump said.
