Trump on Targeting Security Clearances: Id Put a Republican on List if They Were Incompetent or Crazy
by Josh Feldman | Aug 15th, 2018, 9:25 pm
President Donald Trump did an impromptu interview with The Wall Street Journal that touched on everything from tariffs to the midterms. But he also briefly addressed his decision to revoke John Brennans security clearance.

Trump told the WSJ he almost did it last week, but things were too hectic so he waited.

On the charge of only going after his critics, the President said he would put a Republican on, too, if I thought they were incompetent or crazy.

(7,725 posts)As if he hasn't handed putin decades of American intel. If that's the trigger to get a security clearance yanked...better yank his and Don jrs and Ivankas And Mels and Everyone else who didnt even reach the initial threshold. If you don't meet the original threshold, you shouldnt be able to take the head of the CIAs clearance away.

(19,204 posts)Donnie? Your asshole son-in-law had to refile his security clearance forms at least 3 times, and did not include over 100 meetings with foreign officials in the years before filing for his security clearance. He (and wife Ivanka) also misrepresented their income and assets. Both should have been denied security clearances for these and other reasons. Yet your lying, mewling asshole of a son-in-law holds a top security clearance, but Brennan's has been revoked? I repeat,
You, and every other Republican in office at this very moment, are traitors to this country. You, asshole "president", are guilty of treason as well. If you had one iota of honor or integrity you'd resign this very minute. That you remain in office and continue to abuse your power tells honest Americans everything they need to know about you, and your bullshit enemies list.
Fuck you, Donald Trump.

That Exactly what he has done.
Trump is Putin's weapon of mass destruction.
Putin got the best Deal ever!
