speaker, last month, president trump stripped former c.i.a. director john brennan of a security clearance. this was not done because he posed a threat to national security. no, it was done to silence a political opponent. all americans agree that the president should not be able to order the i.r.s. to initiate an audit against a rival and we should agree that he may not use his authority to revoke a security clearance. yet the president has announced he intends to invalidate the clearances of other officials who disagree with his policy. introduced h.r. 6680 with mr. lewan ranking member schiff that would prevent the administration from revoking security clearances for political reasons. my bill would give agency officials the basis to push back on white house demands that more clearances be revoked outside the judicial processes. granting, denying or revoking security clearances for political retribution is un-american and should never be tolerated or allowed. i urge my colleagues to support this important legislation and i yield back. . the

what does that say to future recruits to the c.i.a. and to so many of these other -- n.s.a. and so many of these other agencies that are so important to our national security? it is a disgrace that the president did it, and i have to say, it's an equal disgrace that our republican leadership in the house lets a small band of house renegades, led by chairman nunes of the intelligence committee, help undermine our intelligence agencies and the brave men and women who risk their lives for us there for his political purpose. it's just like the infamous memo prepared by rep nunes and the fake wiretapping scam. president trump and his handful of water carriers in the house are willing to go to any length to cherry-pick, distort, and invent materials to discredit the mueller investigation, even when our national security -- the safety of millions of americans protected by the men and women in our intelligence agencies -- is on the line. the latest disclosure by president trump is a blatant abuse of power. it's the action of a dictator in a banana republic. it's not politics as usua
