President Trump has revoked a security clearance belonging to former CIA Director John Brennan, claiming his "erratic behavior" should disqualify him from having access to sensitive information.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders made the announcement Wednesday, weeks after revealing that Trump was considering revoking the security clearances of a half-dozen former U.S. officials.

"As the head of the executive branch and the commander in chief, I have a unique constitutional responsibility to protect the nation’s classified information, including by controlling access to it," Sanders said in a statement from the president Wednesday. "Today, in fulfilling the responsibility, I have decided to revoke the security clearance of John Brennan, the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency."

Sanders acknowledged that former heads of intelligence and law enforcement agencies are traditionally able to keep their security clearances after their time serving in the government is complete. Sanders said that any traditional justifications for Brennan to retain access to classified information do not apply.

"Historically, former heads of intelligence and law enforcement agencies have been allowed to retain access to classified information after their government service, so that they can consult with their successors regarding matters about which they may have special insights and as a professional courtesy," Sanders said. "Neither of the justifications supports Mr. Brennan’s continued access to classified information."

"At this point in my administration, any benefits that senior officials might glean from consultations with Mr. Brennan are now outweighed by the risks posed by his erratic conduct and behavior," Sanders said.

Pablo de Fleurs:
Brennan's push-back & "outrage" on this makes me wish . . . momentarily . . . that we had the type of government where he could be "collected" off the street, dealt the harshest of treatment, including waterboarding, & then dumped back onto the street in such a state of mental disorder that he walks into heavy traffic & is dispatched amidst rapidly moving automobiles.

He is a piece of human debris that unfairly sucks precious oxygen from the atmosphere.

(Yet, nevertheless, not my will - but Yours, Lord - be done)

I am willing to be an instrument of His Will.

Anytime. 

For all these DeepState operatives...a Crusade to purge them from the Earth is long overdue.  And it is coming sooner or later...all in His time.

ETA - Heh, y'all see this?

"Actually, @brhodes , 23 conservatives went after UBL. No offense, in case you were wondering."

At a minimum this asshole should be charged with Obstruction of Congress and Perjury.
