On July 24, two days before the the notice released yesterday was dated, a Russian tweeted that the news Brennan's clearance would be revoked.
It appears that weeks before the American people knew that Donald Trump would be revoking former CIA Director John Brennans security clearance, and days before the White House memo declaring it, Russia knew.
Specifically, a Russian billionaire with known connections to Vladimir Putin tweeted out a list of names and declared their security clearance void. John Brennan was on that list. Two days later, Trump announced he was revoking Brennans security clearance. Three weeks later, the American public was informed.
