    Spying on his own oversight committee while an intel head is more than enough to revoke is SC.

    It should have been done when he spied on that congressional committee. Nuff said.

    POTUS does not need a reason. Clearances are allowed AT HIS PLEASURE...just like ALL CABINET POSITIONS...

    Well tRUmp has admitted that he did it to silence a critic, so he did it for political reasons and to bully/intimidate a contrary voice blowing the whistle on tRUmp/RUssia treason. Seems like abuse of power to me.......by the way, Obambam is a has been and it's 2018.

    So he is a King and is above the law, the rule of law and cannot abuse his powers?

    This! Trump is not our king. There are processes in place to revoke clearances - they should follow them.
    This is NOT the path we want to go down, people! We need insiders to be able to speak out without fear of retribution. Next time it might be a patriot blowing the whistle on a leftist administration.

    The bottom line is that the courts can not revoke the authority of the president. But Brennan should cash in his retirement plan and give it to lawyers tilting at windmills.

    He is the duly-elected POTUS and security clearances are ENTIRLY SUBJECT TO HIS APPROVAL.

    The left continues to tout the IMAGINED AUTHORITY of the UNELECTED in the face of the ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES of the PEOPLE.

    You could expect a leftist judge to grant an injunction of Trump's Constitutionally guaranteed powers anyway.
    Just like the Muslim travel ban, DACA, etc. the legality of overstepping judicial bounds really doesn't matter to the left.

    Such a ruling would be overturned in a flash but that doesn't seem to matter. There should be some judicial sanction for judges
    that abuse their position and make absurd rulings that cannot possibly withstand scrutiny.

    The President can revoke security clearances at will.

    The MULTIPLE REASONS for revoking Brennan's have been detailed extensively here, and elsewhere...not that the POTUS needs any.

    Ask Obama.

    Doesn't matter. moral turpitude is rather arbitrary and is grounds to have one's clearances revoked.

    again, there is no legal right to obtain or retain a security clearance.

    Leftist darling James Clapper thinks far too many people have been allowed to retain them.

    He is an angry man. Too bad to see someone get that way over something as silly as politics.

    Brennan has no legal stance on this at all. The President was well within his rights to revoke his security clearance. If a 2nd Special Council is appointed, Brennan might have bigger problems to worry about.

    You’re going to be the first one crying when the shoe is on the other foot. But then again, you’re a hypocrite.

    So there were no grounds to revoke Brennan's clearances so tRUmp did it as political/personal retribution then to a private American citizen? That means tRUmp (read Vlad) is King, above the law, above criticism, above the rule of law and cannot abuse his power? Wonderful!!!

    Funny how you guys are now moving to a technical defense for president mound of lards’ idiotic actions. That’s progress, I guess.
