Not sure that was the goal.  Trump certainly has words for his critics, but I don't remember him ever proposing laws or rules to silence them.  If this administrative actions reduces some of Brennan's credibility as a media source (since he cannot claim to have any inside access anymore) then fine, but he, Brennan, is free to say what he wants.

 

To me the interesting thing was Brennan's reaction when the FBI issued its document dump a month or so ago, he seemed to have an over-the-top reaction to it which makes me wonder what is hidden behind the redactions.

i'm sure that was the goal. see the list of other folks trump is considering..all critical of trump.

You are sure?  And what facts do you have to back up that certainty?  Personally, I think this is more of a black-ball of these folks as potential sources of information to the current agents working in the various departments these folks used to work in.  That was the only reason they retained any semblance of a security clearance, and now Trump is telling his executive departments these folks cannot be trusted which certainly seems to be the case.

i agree with john kerry:

This is putting personal petty politics ahead of patriotism and national security, end of story. You expect this banana republic behavior in the kind of countries that the State Department warns Americans not to travel to, but not at home in the USA.

Abusing the powers of the Office of the President to punish and silence critics, and to change the subject from the damaging disclosures in a new tell-all book: What a petty, authoritarian, and non-presidential impulse. #CIA #Brennan

Sure Brennan has full-fledged TDS along with several of these other folks on the list, but as stated this does nothing other than to eliminate these folks as sources to their departments.  I realize everyone that hates Trump thinks he is stupid, but he understands that this will in no way silence any of these individuals from spouting their biased opinions to their neighborhood biased media sources.  We all have to remember it was Brennan that was distributing the political propaganda Steele material to anyone he could find, so he is a confirmed leaker and therefore not capable of being cleared for a security clearance.
