According to our media today, revoking security clearances of those who are no longer in government is the stuff of banana republics, of dictators, and a full-blown assault against the First Amendment.
When President Obama sought to do the exact same on a massive scale, the media hardly blinked and the news only earned dutiful coverage.
As you can see, when Obama did it no one in the media cared.
As you can see, back in 2013, no one in the media screamed, as our media repeatedly have throughput the last week, that the revocation of these clearances would risk national security, much less be the stuff of a banana republic eager to kill free speech.
The difference, of course, is that during the Obama administration, the establishment media had zero desire to uncover anything negative about Obama; and so, in turn, they had no desire to put former-government officials on the payroll who would dish dirt on their precious Barry, or to use them as background sources.
Today now that the media want to frame Trump as a Russian spy, hysterically dishonest partisans like former CIA director John Brennan, James Clapper, and Phil "The Screamer" Mudd are very useful to media, especially when the media can use the imprimatur of these in-the-know partisans to push fake news.
Better still, that same imprimatur allows the media to spread fake news by hiding behind anonymous "Intelligence sources" who tell the media the fake news the media are so desperate to publish.
