President Trump on Wednesday revoked the security clearance of former CIA director John Brennan, citing his “erratic conduct and behavior.”
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, reading a statement from the president, said Mr. Brennan “leveraged his status as a former high-ranking official” to make false charges against the administration.
Mr. Trump’s statement began, “As the head of the executive branch and commander-in-chief, I have a unique constitutional responsibility to protect the nation’s classified information, including by controlling access to it. Today in fulfilling that responsibility, I’ve decided to revoke the security clearance of John Brennan, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency.”
The president said Mr. Brennan’s actions have “exceeded the limits of any professional courtesy.”
Mr. Brennan has been a harsh critic of Mr. Trump, and a network commentator, accusing him of treasonous actions in his dealings with Russia.
Mr. Trump said he’s still weighing revoking the security clearances of former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice, fired FBI agent Peter Strzok and others — all Democrats.

Brennan needs to go to the gallows , not just have a clearance revoked
I thought he worked for MSNothingButCommunists. Not like it matters.
Why would fired people like Comey, McCabe and Strzok have clearances? They should have been yanked immediately.
Why would any former employee have clearance?
I wanna know exactly how the hell a commie like him ever got one!!
It’s a start. The whole FBI gang is next.
Yank those clearances like you're starting a lawn mower!
And don’t forget Hilliary! When she isn’t Secretary, her Security Clearance should be terminated!
Once these people are not in their jobs anymore, the clearances ought to be pulled right there. Security trumps personal status of former workers.
My clearances were deactivated my last day. And smartasses, I had several high level clearances.
[I thought he worked for MSNothingButCommunists. Not like it matters.]
Same bulls**t, different wrapper.
Wait Strzok still has one? How? He’s fired.
GoFundMe in 3,2.1...
Totally agree. Bigly.
Makes no sense...heck, when I completed my contract on my last job, my company email was gone the next day...why would these bozos be allowed to keep their security clearance??
Gonna need a Double Gulp cup for the Liberal Tears this time

I sense a new phase has started. Strzok and now Brennan.
Guess he realized it was pointless to wait for Sessions nap time to be over.
There should NOT have to BE a REASON!! Reason is they don’t WORK for the President!
