I will admit I haven't followed the guy too closely but I understand he lied under oath several times in regards to the FBI's Spygate scandal. But I will let justice be served for those who deserve it.
Comrade John Brennan's security clearance has been revoked

When Obama became President of the US, he demanded the resignation of all GW Bush appointees! President Trump should have followed that same rule with Obama appointees! They were loyal to Obama and not to their jobs and the US as it should have been! You are serving the US taxpayer paying your salaries. Not the person who appointed you to your position!
Eh, you keep referring to former officials, in the plural. I wouldn’t have much to say if the executive branch took sweeping action to end security clearances but that’s not what happened.
Trump targeted Brennan individually for his political speech. That’s using the authority of the executive branch for political purposes in matters of national security. That’s where the real issue is.
The truth is security clearances don’t mean jack and Trump is likely dropping this now to distract from Omarosa and Manafort but that still doesn’t make it less corrupt.
Now you guys are just throwing spaghetti at the wall, hoping something will stick.
Trump is making the same mistake he has made with firings of u.s. attorneys etc.
He should have just requested the resignations of all when he entered office, and he should have given a 90 notice that the security clearances of all departed officials will be revoked- but that they can submit requests for continuance in that time period and the agency directors can approve or not approve.

Quite so. I would not made the same comment below if I had seen this.
Did not mean to detract from your magnanimousity.
Damn trading interferes with focusing on solving the problems of the world.
You seem to be hyper-touchy about using the word "treason" in regard to Brennan, yet apparently have no problem with the aforementioned person who has the security clearance accusing the president of treason to undermine his credibility here and abroad. How smart do you think it is for a disgruntled employee who thinks the president is treasonous to have top security clearance- especially when it has been established that some of his past colleagues were actively involved in trying to topple the presidency.
"hitting back at Brennan for criticizing his performance in Helsinki as "nothing short of treasonous."

No problem. It is just a sad day when those in our Federal Government owe their allegiance to a person who appointed them into the position rather than the actual US taxpayers paying those salaries! Worst, they support efforts to destroy the US from within! There are numerous low level Federal employees being locked up in jail for much less but, they do not have connections to powerful politicians to free them! I think one of the them was a navy man who made the mistake to taking some photos of himself inside his submarine. He was punished severely for it!
You have it exactly backwards. No one gives a hoot what Brennan has to say except that he was CIA Director. He is using his former status to make a ton of money and as a platform to make irresponsible attacks on the current administration. Letting him retain any indicia of his former service would be seen as tacit approval of his attacks.
Let's be honest here. Brennan's entire career could use a full investigation. He was the agency's station chief in Riyadh, where it is rumored he converted to islam. He then was head of antiterrorism. He never put anything about the 9/11 plot together, even though the evidence was so obvious that a low level FBI agent in Minneapolis picked up on it. His buddies at the Saudi embassy were in contact with the terrorists and even gave them money. Somehow this master spymaster missed every bit of it.
