John Brennan: I’m ‘Thinking About’ Taking Legal Action over Having My Clearance Revoked
RUSH EXCERPT:
BRENNAN: "It’s fine. As far as I’m concerned personally, I’m fine. It’s not unexpected. He had signaled something like this would happen. No one got in touch with me from the CIA since it was first noted that my security clearance was under review. Sarah Huckabee Sanders was announcing that these clearances were revoked. I was not shocked for a couple reasons. One a heads up and, secondly, I’m not quite shocked at all the appalling things Mr. Trump has done. So, I think this is an egregious act that it flies in the face of traditional practice, as well as common sense, as well as national security. I think that’s why there’s been such an outcry from many intelligence professionals. Not to support me, but to support the principal that security clearances are something that are very solemn and sacred and they never, ever should be used for political purposes. Eether to grant friends those clearances or to revoke clearances."
