President Trump stripping former CIA chief John Brennan of his security clearance is a modern form of McCarthyism pure an simple. But instead of a Red Scare, it's a fear of Truth and Accountability.

Coats is the Director of National Intelligence. Perhaps he wasn’t consulted because the White House didn’t want this delayed? After all, closing arguments in the Manafort trial were today. https://t.co/20f91AscQl

"I'd like to point out… today is August 15th. The White House just put out the letter in which Trump authorized the stripping of the security clearance. It's dated July 26th. So this has been done for 3 weeks. Why release it now?…"- @JonLemire w/ @NicolleDWallace pic.twitter.com/AdqCQrg6s8

Not since Nixon has a president so obviously pursued an "enemies list." Trump is abusing governmental authority to punish critics. His intended audience is every former government official with a security clearance, and his corrupt purpose is to silence dissent. https://t.co/v56uJJBnx7

This action is part of a broader effort by Mr. Trump to suppress freedom of speech & punish critics. It should gravely worry all Americans, including intelligence professionals, about the cost of speaking out. My principles are worth far more than clearances. I will not relent. https://t.co/TNzOxhP9ux
