Yeah, Obama would just sic the IRS on you, or order the IC to contract foreign actors to frame up fake dossiers about Russian involvement.

I know everyone is saying it is SOP to let these former intelligence folks keep their clearance, but I believe this to be a reckless way to operate. Let's say some high ranking spook gets appointed at the CIA in 2008 and then leaves in 2011. They want to be able to bring these experts in to consult on things and them have clearance. Makes things easier. But, this person was vetted for clearance in 2008 and been out since 2011. What have they been up to for the last 7 years? Don't we think maybe there should be some system of continued vetting of these folks? May not be as easy, but we always learn the hard way that you just cannot trust a lot of people.

Disagreeing with a sitting POTUS is something every citizen has a right to do, including those with a clearance.
That's pretty dishonest. There are many "Trump enemies" who will retain their clearances. Brennan happens to be a subject in an OIG investigation into FISA abuses leading to a spy operation on the sitting POTUS. He openly called his CIC a traitor, and committed felony leaks of classified intelligence to the media, for whom he now is an agent for.
There's really no argument here, unless you are a total hack.

What Trump did was sever Brennan's ability to leak classified info (which was leaked to him) to the press. I guess they can still do it, but it'll be a felony, going forward.
Here's an outstanding rundown of Brennan's greatest hits.

POTUS just hindered his ability to make a living. What Trump did was despicable, but really not unexpected.
Your level of stupidity and how poorly educated you are is not unexpected. Sad, but predictable. Can always tell who the low-grade trolls are by the level of hyperbole they stoop to.
