NEW: 12 former senior intel official issue statement on "ill-considered & unprecedented remarks & actions by the White House" re former @CIA Dir. @JohnBrennan

"Insinuations and allegations of wrongdoing on the part of Brennan while in office are baseless," they say
"The president’s action regarding John Brennan and the threats of similar action against other former officials has nothing to do with who should and should not hold security clearances – and everything to do with an attempt to stifle free speech" per statement
"We have never before seen the approval or removal of security clearances used as a political tool...this action is quite clearly a signal to other former and current officials" the former intel officials say

BREAKING: Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein denies a NYT report that he suggested last year he secretly record Trump to expose chaos in the administration. According to the Times Rosenstein also floated the idea of trying to remove Trump through the 25th Amendment. apnews.com/e84a4acdb42641…
Rod Rosenstein should know better than to joke about something like the 25th Amendment. Especially in the era of Trump.

#BREAKING Trump revokes ex-CIA Director John Brennan’s security clearance. Sarah Huckabee Sanders reads statement calling him a liar and says he’s sowing division and chaos. Reads off more names of top Trump critics.
Reporter to Sarah HS: The List of people whose security clearances TRump is considering revoking besides John Brennan’s are only Democrats. Why should Americans have confidence you’re taking this seriously if not a single Republican—not even Flynn who lied to FBI—is on that list?
The White House truly was Kremlin annex today. Petty vindictive Trump abuses power to blacklist ppl who happen to know about Russia, smearing & intimidating them for exercising their First Amendment right to criticize a dangerously unfit POTUS. Send gratitude, follow @JohnBrennan

The list of GOP who criticized or refuted Trump's comments today:

Dan Coates
John McCain
Ben Sasse
Jeff Flake
Lindsey Graham
Bob Corker
Will Hurd
Paul Ryan
Dave Reichert
Mitch McConnell
Liz Cheney
Marco Rubio
Trey Gowdy
Susan Collins
Adam Kinzinger
Orrin Hatch
Frank LoBiondo
Every single one of those people supports the conclusion of our intelligence community that Russia meddled in a US election.

Even god damn Newt Gingrich.

Trump underestimated how damning his performance for Putin was going to be.

fox5sandiego.com/2018/07/16/som…
And yes. I'm well aware that not a single person on that list is going to do a damn thing about it.

But it's worth noting that it's not just the US intelligence community that believes Russia meddled in a US election. It's the GOP, too. THIS IS A FACT, not a theory.
