James Comey Whines About John Brennan Losing Security Clearance

Fired Director of the FBI, one James Comey, whines about the Trump administration revoking the security clearance of the former Director of the CIA, Johns Brennan, from Hill [1]:

Former FBI Director James Comey hit back at President Trump for revoking former CIA Director John Brennan’s security clearance, saying Trump is “sending a message that he will punish people who disagree with him and reward those who praise him.”

Comey said in a statement posted to Twitter on Wednesday evening that in a democracy “security clearances should not be used as pawns in a petty political game to distract voters from even bigger problems.”

Jimmy my boy, buy a clue.  A security clearance is not a reward. It is issued to a person believed capable of understanding and protecting classified information.  Brennan has proven himself either unable or unwilling to protect classified material entrusted to him.

The government authority punishing citizens purely for the political views is Robert Mueller, who made it a federal crime to be a republican.
