President Trump on Wednesday revoked the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan.

"As the head of the executive branch and the commander in chief, I have a unique constitutional responsibility to protect the nation's classified information, including by controlling access to it," Trump said in a statement, read by White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders at Wednesday's press briefing.

Trump also said he is still reviewing access to classified information for several former intelligence officials, including James Clapper, James Comey, Michael Hayden, Sally Yates, Susan Rice, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and Bruce Ohr.

Each of those individuals has made statements critical of the president in the past.

Petty, vindictive & thin-skinned, as usual.

More grasping for straws from the left... why am I not surprised?

Of course they aren't. But those crying about the revocation of clearances like Brennan act like they think he is entitled to keep a clearance.

Well it is established protocol for former directors to keep security clearance after they leave to assist and give advice to the new director.

But hey, if you think it's fine that a President chooses to harm a private citizens future career path because they dared criticise him, then good luck to you.
 
This was a correct decision.
 
So... Don jr. should lose his?
