Bombshell: Trump Links Security Clearance Actions To Russia Probe | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

President Trump admits his motivation for revoking the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan and threatening to revoke clearances for other former officials, is to do with the Mueller Russia investigation. Former Federal Prosecutor, Joyce Vance, tells Ari Melber that “the American people are the real losers” in Trump’s decision, while Rep. Nadler notes that Trump’s actions are what “you expect in an authoritarian dictatorship, not in a free country”.

This Congress is a disgrace. Start doing your jobs!!!

[Mechaos]

Smells like fresh obstruction of justice in here.

[Bete_Noir]

Criticizing the President is not a matter of national security.

[smooblox]

Straight up gangster. You’ll need proof to take him down. This is mafia tactics.

Without the lead of John McCain, Lindsey Graham has flipped and become a Trump disciple. I'm so disappointed we lost another voice of reason from the Republican party. How much did they pay you Mr. Graham? Plenty of money to throw around to by them all off. I hope you enjoy your special place awaiting you right next to Trump. Mr. McCain must be so disappointed as well

[BILLY-pxhw]

This "Russher" thing...when will the GOP rats start jumping ship?

[annar]

So he says, " I said to myself"
So, he lies to himself?
Now that's really scary!

[Macewinrude]

Notice how they were all constantly looking down when speaking of Brennan.

[gwen]

Obstuction of Justice okay Congress the ball is in your court as putin told trump!!

[romeo]

How is this a bombshell? Anybody with a brain knew why he was doing this.

[depone]

i hope trumpsky gets jailed before he croaks

[catherine]

Also might be worth mentioning John McCain was involved (though not by choice) in bringing the smell of the Russia involvement to light -and look how he has been treated.

[maxpower]

Video could come out of Trump and Putin dousing the American flag in gasoline and setting it on fire while singing the Russian national anthem, and republicans would still cover for him.

[kersensour]

Mr.Brennan is indispensable...TRUMP knows nothing at all and I.hope it will t
Bllow to his face..

[MJ-txjz]

It is a hit list they have to put a stop to Trump now!

[mike]

I keep saying this: Where are all of the right minded Republicans? Where are they? I'm in the UK and I know people who are passionately left and right wing. I also know that where the leader of their party is a dud, they are critical of them. I know people who are massively against Jeremy Corbyn and against Teresa May. Where are their equivalents in the USA? This polarisation is horrific.

[kaytrey]

Who's running the Whitehouse? The staff or the orange agent. Never in history you have the nation divided and the Whitehouse too!smh

[PCtransplant]

Trump's presidency is called Stupid Watergate for very good reasons.

[rebeccatreeseed]

Dumpster is not the only Reperv eating at Putin's table.

[BTom]

I'd like to see a Susan Rice presidency. She is an amazing person.
