Yes I know this is a far left site. Just wanted to post it because how the left is reacting to this. A reporter on Fox who was in the press room said you could hear a major gasp from most of the reporters. Cnn is losing it. Smelling salt needed for them.

They’re all retired anyway, yes?

Then no need for them to have any kind of clearance at all.

Revoking the security clearances from those bureaucratic rats will render them useless on TV interviews and is long overdue. Cull the herd of these overpaid and overfed goobermint employees!

They say Trump is a traitor to the New World Order to whom Brennan, Muellar and the whole sorry gang swears allegiance.

But how can you be a traitor if you were never a supporter?

How do these people keep clearances when they are out of government? Whose brilliant idea is that?

Those security clearances along with Hil LIAR Y’s, should have been removed the day they were escorted out of the building.

I thought that when someone is no longer in a job requiring clearance, they immediately get their clearances revoked.

Trump was a supporter, financially at least, of the Deep State until not long before he ran for office.

IMO this is the moment he decided he was done with them.

They should turn in their security clearances along with their keys and any other government issue as they walk out the door. No need for them to have it.

I don’t think killary still has hers. 5 years after they leave office is how long they keep them and I think it has been 5 years now. But yes she should have been stripped of them and not only escorted out of the building but taken to prison.

They, and the rest of the liberal media, are just PO’d that their informants (leakers) will be shut down now.

No kidding. Seems like their clearances would be tied to their positions and would be revoked once they were no longer in that position.

McCabe was fired.

How does he still have security clearance?

I certainly did. A last debriefing, a signature, a reminder that releasing anything covered under it before a stipulated period of years and I'd go go prison, a plaque for the wall, a handshake, and an escort to the entry. People such as Brennan occasionally get an extension to cover ongoing operations, but nobody gets one as a souvenir.
