Eboni, democrats have called it enemys list, admiral navy seal who saw bin laden raid compare today mccarthy era tactics, in an interview with Rachel Maddow speak at length after having security clearance revoked. Theres been a health cry from many intelligence professionals not to support me but to support the principle that security clearances are something thats very, very solemn and sacred and they never ever should be used for political purposes either to grant friends for clearances or revoke clearances of your critics. Among those now in the president s
