Trump threatens to revoke security clearances of Comey, Brennan, Clapper
By S.A. Miller - The Washington Times - Updated: 3:17 p.m. on Monday, July 23, 2018
President Trump has threatened to revoke security clearance from top Obama administration officials who have been outspoken about alleged Trump campaign collusion with Russia, the White House said Monday.
On the list for revoking security clearance are former FBI Director James Comes, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, former CIA Director John Brennan, former National Security Adviser Susan Rice and former Director of National Security James Clapper.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said they had “politicized” and “monetized” their security clearance.
She said it was “extremely inappropriate” for those former officials to use their top-level security clearance to promote “false accusations” about the president and his campaign’s ties to Moscow spies.
The White House was exploring the process to revoke the security clearance, she said.
Some of the former officials have been at odds with Mr. Trump since his election. Several have made regular appearances on TV news shows to speculate about Trump campaign collusion with Russia or to criticize the president’s dealing with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Mr. Brennan took several jabs at the president last week following his summit with Mr. Putin in Helsinki, Finland.
“Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of “high crimes & misdemeanors.”
It was nothing short of treasonous.
Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots:
Where are you???” tweeted Mr. Brennan.
In another tweet, Mr. Brennan wrote:
Why did Trump meet 1 on 1 with Putin? What might he be hiding from Bolton, Pompeo, Kelly, & the American public?
How will Putin use whatever Trump could be hiding to advantage Russia & hurt America?
Trump’s total lack of credibility renders spurious whatever explanation he gives.”
