NBC security analyst and former CIA director John Brennan is doubling down on a threat to sue President Trump after the outspoken former Obama official was stripped of his security clearance.
Brennan appeared Friday night on MSNBC and told Rachel Maddow he is exploring litigation against the president. This follows Reps. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) and Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) saying Trump stripping Brennan of his security clearance is illegal.
“As you can imagine, a number of lawyers reached out to say that there is a very strong case here, not so much to reclaim mine but to prevent this from happening in the future," Brennan said. "So, I am thinking about what it is that I might want to do. At this time, I’m trying to make sure that the principle is what is going to be defended and supported and this is something that should not be repeated."

Security clearances are granted on the premise that the clearance granted to an individual benefits the US federal government. How does granting a clearance to someone opposed to the head of the government assist the government in carrying out its duties as led by its lawfully-elected head?
more evidence that it was the right thing to do. these people retain their clearance to benefit the administration, past and present...not for personal benefit.
Great point. Brennan will NEVER follow through on this.
The courts are going to help you John.
Oh John, do you remember William Colby?

Not so. He's muslim. If he can reason that it is for the purpose of spreading the faith it is morally OK to lie to infidels.
“John Brennan is doubling down on a threat to sue President Trump”
Please! Pretty please! Sue away, you treasonous, traitorous fake newser.
Amen. Declassify it all as now moot for purposes of national security, but relevant to discovery in his lawsuit.
Thanks to Donna for the above.
and get caught on cross-examination and clapped in arms for perjury just for starters.
What is “stuff we’ll never see in the press” for $200, Alex.
Easy. The guy he worked for was a deranged dummy too. Couldn’t take a leak without a teleprompter telling him how. “..How this deranged dummy ever got confirmed as head of CIA ...” Easy.

People keeping the clearance is so that they can consult with the government in a way that benefits the country and administration, not so that they can make money trashing the country's agenda.
You wouldn't let a retired cop keep his gun if all he used it for was shooting police officers.
Moochelle to Obummer:
“Thas right. Whites aint got no natural rhythm. Sho nuff true wid dis bunch o’ honkies. Lordy.”
Security clearance is not a legal right.
A strong case... from a loudmouth who disrespects the Commander-In-Chief...
Nothing illegal what the President did and it’s not a free speech issue.
