1.) A few weeks ago with @BrookeBCNN on @CNN, #JamesClapper says @realDonaldTrump was being 'Petty' & suspending Security Clearances from his Intelligence Community Critics. But wait .......there's more!
2.) In stark contrast to Clapper's attempt to make #Trump appear to be authoritarian & petty, he testified in November of 2013 to the Senate in a closed session in regards to the purge of unnecessary Security Clearances in line with a 2012 GAO report

3.) The @ODNIgov document dated October 31st, 2013 is very self explanatory & also references Executive Order 12968 (Access to Classified Information)

@ODNIgov 4.) Executive Order 12968 (Access to Classified Information) that was referenced in the 3 page memo from #JamesClapper was created & signed into law by @BillClinton on August 2nd, 1995.

@ODNIgov @BillClinton 5.) Executive Order 12968 of August 2, 1995 was amended by George W. Bush in his Executive Order 13467 on June 30th, 2008. 👇🏼
@ODNIgov @BillClinton 6.) Executive Order 13467 was amended by @BarackObama on
September 29, 2016. obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-offi…
@ODNIgov @BillClinton @BarackObama 7.) @smb_JD says "Per longstanding Supreme Court precedent, the president’s authority over security clearance matters is both constitutional and plenary."
Which in turn translates to: @realDonaldTrump can in fact revoke Security Clearances at will!

8.) @JohnBrennan & his lawyer & others like James Clapper need to think about this real hard before they attempt to sue @realDonaldTrump. He's not as stupid as you make him out to be!
He was legally justified for taking your clearance & anyone else's he deems necessary!
@threader_app unroll por favor!!
