The Trump Administration considering revoking more security clearances for current or former officials with connections to the russia investigation. This, as former cia director john brennan is speaking out about the president taking away his clearances. 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 thats why theres been such an outcry from many intelligence officials, know the 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.

Hes had plenty to say on twitter after report in the New York Times the white House Counsel, not his counsel, represents the presidency, don mcgahn cooperated with the special counsel Robert Muellers team. President trump claims don mcgahn spent 30 hours with investigators, only with my approval for purposes of transparenciy, the president s lawyers, it is reported, the presidencys lawyers was one thing, his own lawyers dont know how much mcgahn told mueller.
