The White House has decided to revoke the security clearance of a critic.  At a rare press briefing today, Sarah Sanders announced that John Brennan, the CIA chief under Barack Obama was having his security clearance revoked because of “erratic behavior and “frenzied commentary.”

Brennan has long been outspoken in his criticism of Donald Trump calling his comments “imbecilic” and after the latest Trump-Putin press conference, the former spy chief said the president’s actions “exceeds the threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors” and “treasonous.”
