Biden tweet on Trump revoking Brennan's security clearance: "If you think it will silence John..."





In the time I have known him, John Brennan has never been afraid to speak up and give it to you straight. Revoking his security clearance is an act unbecoming of a President. If you think it will silence John, then you just don't know the man.

It will not hold up under scrutiny. He got away with that in the case of McCabe because McCabe had not fully vested yet.

The rest of these men are well beyond his grasp to take away pensions earned.

tRump can do anything he wants because he is an unchecked dictator. There never is any real blowback, just words of condemnation. Time to be civil is over, time to obstruct, break rules, turn everything upside down.

When we can watch every nasty act of 45 become undone once this nightmare is over and sanity returns to the WH?

Trump goes after people who are far stronger than he is.

Brennan has seen the evidence from intelligence agencies. He knows and will now be more vocal.
