President Trump said Friday that he may take away the security clearance of Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, whose wife worked for the firm that commissioned an opposition research dossier on then-candidate Trump.
"I think Bruce Ohr is a disgrace. I suspect I'll be taking it away very quickly," Trump told reporters on the South Lawn of the White House.
Trump's remarks follow his decision Wednesday to revoke the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan, a harsh critic of his presidency, claiming Brennan improperly politicized his former position.

He should revoke all securityclearances from all former employees. If one of tje former employees is needed for a particular job, then reinvoke tje needed clearance for that particular job. If he only revokes those who have opposed him, he does run the risk of obstruction of justice accusations, and whatever else they choose to levy on him. Strait across the board however is in line with policies even if it violates traditions. But no accusations can be made against him. He can even write an executive order to all intelligence departments to begin to clean out their files of former employees who still tetaon security clearances. If those clearances were abused or violated, then take the steps needed to prevent a reinstatement of those clearances. And that includes filing any legal charges if any as well as any financial abuse reimbirsements.
Just do it already and everyone else’s who’s no longer an employee.
If he does that means Mr Ohr will not be able to testify before Congress in a closed door hearing. He will not be able to discuss classified information since he is unauthorized to have it. Interesting twist. These criminals are shrewd. He will claim answers to any question as classified and he cannot address it without the proper clearance.
Proposed DRAFT
Presidential Executive Order
Effective IMMEDIATELY
ALL Security Clearances and access authority to secure government locations containing classified sensitive information are hereby recalled and void pertaining to any former military personnel no longer on active duty or in Reserve status or flagged for adverse actions, former government civil servants and political appointees in any capacity, former government contractors and former elected officials or elected officials who no longer serve on select committees where security clearances and access to classified sensitive information may be required.
Signed,
Donald J. Trump
POTUS
Trump should squash all rights and privileges of those not on the payroll. When people leave a business enterprise, they lose all rights to that organization. They same protocol should apply to government employees.
Ohrt needs to be arrested.
It will result in a tornado editorials denouncing him as a dictator
Oh wait they already did that
At this point in time, nobody needs to know Brennan. He is a nobody. Knowing him is not helpful.
Casual voters pay no attention to stuff like this. And what they do hear is Trump is now becoming Nixonian with an enemies list. Just quietly gut these folks from the roles.
What does Ohr have to do with Manafort’s decade old money issues?
I am hoping and praying that POTUS has a REAL LONG list of Ophonybama’s LIEberal “burrowed in” hangers-on who will lose their security clearances REAL SOON NOW!
And then be indicted, tried, convicted and sent to prison for a long, long, time!
Was responding to Darth’s posted link.
How else can you run a deep state shadow government.
The problem is what they are seeing is what live agents and those who really need to know see.
I can just hear Trump do that, list off who has already had clearnace pulled or otherwise been smacked down due to their own actions against USA and pause, then say “Ok, let’s see who’s next?”
