Twelve former top U.S. intelligence officials on Thursday condemned President Trump’s decision to revoke the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan, calling it a blatant attempt to stifle Brennan’s criticism.

In a statement of support reported by multiple outlets, a dozen former officials including CIA directors dating back to the 1980s declared that “security clearances should be based on national security concerns and not political views.”

“Insinuations and allegations of wrongdoing on the part of Brennan while in office are baseless,” the officials said. “We all agree that the president’s action regarding John Brennan and the threats of similar action against other former officials has nothing to do with who should and should not hold security clearances.”

“We have never before seen the approval or removal of security clearances used as a political tool, as was done in this case,” they added. “Beyond that, this action is quite clearly a signal to other current and former officials.”

  1. Communist Brennan who leaked security information to the media and to Russia, as a Russian spy, shouldn’t have been in the CIA in the first place. He should be arrested before he flees to Moscow again.

    Hopefully President Trump will immediately take away security clearance from other so-called US Intel Officials who are also the Enemies of the People.
