    No. Not illegal. He has the power to revoke Brennan's clearance.

    It is an abuse of his powers to do so. From what I have read, no president has EVER done something like this, and no former CIA director has had his clearance revoked like this before.

    He is using his powers to stifle criticism. Don't you see that? It is an abuse. Not illegal.

    I won't disparage this guys service bet he was a brig gen, 1 step above full bird. Nothing to sneeze at, I'm sure he served our country honorably, but this man doesn't appear to have any insight whatsoever into the matter he's commenting on. Hell, every post and base in the country has at least a 1 star commander.

    There are none so blind as those that refuse to see...

    Again, a "transparently political move"... end of story..

    Whether he needs this access is moot.. he's had it in the past, might need it again in the future, and has done nothing to warrant losing it...

    This has everything to do with free speech. Holy moly you guys are dense. When one is punished for speaking out against the POTUS you have clear evidence of trump trying to limit free speech. duh...

    You do realize that the administration said that it was abandoned as we gave them notice. And we purposely avoided the runways.

    Are you calling Trump a liar?

    Well said... I wasn't disparaging this guy or his service, just his "insight", as you pointed out...

    LMAO!! Why don't you trump disciples get a damn clue before you spout off? Having a security clearance does not give you access to classified information!

    He violated his first amendment rights. You know, that paper we call the Constitution?

    And clearance does not equal "access". He didn't have the ability to walk into a CIA building and review classified documents on his own.

    Trump pulled a mans clearance not because he mishandled classified or had inappropriate relationships with foreign nationals but because he dared speak out against trump. This behavior is simply indefensible.

    For those of you who think Brennan is worthy of his security clearance, perhaps you should watch Fox News more often where they quoted CBS numerous times about this issue.

    It's actually the people who try to remove a legally elected sitting president by means of a manufactured meme they have all colluded to
    pull off. And their enablers and supporters, that would be you, are just as bad, and perhaps worse, because they give cover and a
    constituency to the folks that attempt to hijack our government.

    He's regularly on MSNBC. What clown pretends his free speech rights have been threatened? Ridiculous!

    Brennan is a documented liar and his promotion of the Steele dossier as a legitimate bit of intel brands him as a seditionist and
    enemy of our American way of life as his goal is to unseat a legally elected president.

    My! What an ironic comment. You want to help a lying spy master vacate the results of the 2016 presidential election.

    Who is the REAL threat to our way of life and liberty?

    Your cliched insult makes your post irrelevant. You lost before you ever started.

    you probably think government weenies have some unique and irreplaceable skill set that future government weenies must draw upon. I'm looking around at the state of the nation.. the world... and I'm here to tell you that I'm not too impressed with government weenies.

    It's pretty obvious that you don't work in intel. Do a smidge of research, or ask someone, before you look like a fool. Too late in this thread.
