A former aide to Hillary Clinton slammed President Trump on Twitter Wednesday after he revoked former CIA Director John Brennan’s security clearance.
“Trump just revoked former CIA Director John Brennan’s security clearance,” Philippe Reines said in a tweet. “What a vindictive little b*tch.”
Shortly before Reine’s remarks on Twitter, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders read Trump’s statement announcing the move during a press briefing on Wednesday afternoon.
"As the head of the executive branch and the commander in chief,” Trump’s statement read, “I have a unique constitutional responsibility to protect the nation's classified information, including by controlling access to it.”
The move came just one day after Brennan, who has long been critical Trump throughout much of his presidency, ripped Trump on Twitter in response to his tweet calling former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman a “dog.”
“It’s astounding how often you fail to live up to minimum standards of decency, civility, & probity,” Brennan said in a tweet. “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.”
The president also said he is still reviewing several other former intelligence officials’ access to classified information, including former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former FBI Director James Comey, former National Security Administration Director Michael Hayden, former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, among others.
Each of those individuals also have a history of making critical statements in the past.
Followed by a great scotch and a cigar.................
Pure Leftist Projection.

Dems are used to their “entitlements.” they’ve never had them revoked. big smile.

THIS is vindictive
These SHOULD have been removed the day of the election!!!
surely no one will cite the cause to revoke - erratic behavior.
Elections have consequences.
Philippe Reines is an expert at knowing whiny Bitches.
He sees one every time he looks at a reflective surface.
If it weren’t for his political associations he’d be giving blowjobs on the vegas strip for food to survive.
Phillips is a vindictive little girl!
Just like he promised, I love it. How refreshing.
Traitorhillary's security clearance should be revoked with extreme prejudice.
Suck it, Brennan.
I am looking forward to the MSM’s reporting on this tonight. They have a bit of a tightrope to walk in trying to slam POTUS, hail Brennan, and try to convince the American people that it is in their best interests to have security clearances for EX-government officials just hanging around out there indefinitely.

Yeah Brennan, it’s getting closer and closer to pinning you inside the plot to overthrow the President. There is already evidence you were involved. Let’s see what you have to say when your indictment is unsealed.
I think it depends on what you do after you leave. My clearance was picked up by my employer when I left the military. I didn’t have to fill out the entire packet to get it transferred.I don’t think the clearance all the way away when somebody leaves the military, just inactivated. I was told by a security guy that it could be reactivated within a couple of years after you leave the military before it goes all he way away.
Plus.... this makes ALL the ex officials who still have any access, start sweating and wondering when they will be cut off. I like how he’s drawing it out, as it inflicts more mental damage.
