President* Donald Trump said Wednesday that he revoked the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan in part because of his role in the investigation into allegations of collusion between the Russian government and the 2016 Trump campaign.Obstruction of justice, much?
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Trump placed blame on Brennan for the ongoing Russia investigation, now overseen by special counsel Robert Mueller, even though Brennan has been outside the government for 19 months.
“I call it the rigged witch hunt, [it] is a sham,” Trump told the Journal. “And these people led it!”
“So I think it’s something that had to be done,” he continued.
Stripping people's clearances because they do not demonstrate sufficient fealty to The Donalds is a petty, dickish move.
Yup...a petty dick.
