clapper loses his, perhaps a susan rice. i don't believe susan rice actually maintains hers. she might. again, the point being, this has been a currency extended throughout administrations for people who leave the senior posts and part of the argument has been, and the democrats are making that argument, saying, the trump administration is endangering national security by taking the security clearances and they will be able to talk to others, and that is a ridiculous argument. you can -- >> there are good reasons -- >> ed: i want to wrap it up. 15 seconds. with a good reason for former officials to have a clearance? >> in order to be jump into action if needed, that happened to me personally. it's a long process otherwise. and to be able to have current consultations on things they know about rates. when there is a terrorist act, national security issue, you bring in the former officials to help? >> real quick -- >> also, ed, it is also to jump into the commercial sector. clearances are a valuable commodity, and if you have them, you are more higher a ball. >> ed: someone has

i think there's a reason susan rice popped up. maybe the president was watching and told his staff add susan rice to the list. phil mud was added to the list because he was on television saying something the president didn't like. this is not how america behaves. this is how deck tater ships behave. we cannot allow this to some how become the new norm in this country. >> thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you. >>> we are learning what michael cohen is expecting on his sentencing day after pleading guilty. we are told another trump organization employee tried to make a deal with prosecutors. who is this employee? ♪ all the tools you need for every step of the way. make it, squarespace metastatic breast cancer is relentless, but i'm relentless too. mbc doesn't take a day off, and neither will i. and i treat my mbc with new everyday verzenio- the only one of its kind that can be taken every day. in fact, verzenio is a cdk4 & 6 inhibitor for postmenopausal women with hr+, her2- mbc, approved, with hormonal therapy, as an everyday

james klapper, james comey, michael hayden, sally yates, susan rice, andrew mccabe, peter strzok, lisa paige and bruce ohr. security clearances for those who still have the may be revoked. those who have already lost security clearance may not be able to have it reinstated. it is for the foregoing reason that i have exercised my constitutional authority to deny mr. brennan access to classified information. i will direct appropriate staff at the national security council to make the necessary arrangements of the appropriate agencies to implement this determination. with that, i will take your questions. >> seems like everybody you mentioned has been a political critic of the president. i see going after his political opponents with this? >> no, there were others that we deemed necessarily we would take a look and reviewed those as well. >> i want to ask you about the president's attorney ted, rudy giuliani said of special counsel, robert mueller, -- he said if it is not written in the next two or three weeks we will unload on him like a ton of bricks. the president okay with his attorne

but now we have a long list of folks who could potentially lose security clearances from susan rice to james comey and now we have ohr at the top of the list. >> to have a continuity of government from one administration to the next allowing people to keep their security clearance is a good thing. if you want to get their expertise from a similar case. but a guy like john brennan who uses his security cleernls to go out and not fight isis, russia or iran, but fight a duly elected president? revoke it. he's a political hack. bruce ohr who is the back door for bringing in the dirty dossier into the fbi. his clearance should be gone. clapper, comey, mccabe. we have to review all of them and they should be gone. charles: fox news, one of the pieces of news was that bruce ohr wrote christopher steele after the firing of james comey saying he was afraid the anti-trump russia probe will be exposed. some are saying if you remove his security clearance he can't do the job he's in right now. >> he shouldn't have the job he has right now. he should be fired. he should haven't been there after we

i would say susan rice was a controversial person. don't think james clapper or john brennan is somebody who is seen as being overly political. as james clapper said in an interview last night with chris cuomo was that they feel a need to speak out for a reason, that there is something different happening. in the past they haven't spoken out because they actually feel that there is an attack on democracy. so that is why they are speaking out. i think that donald trump realizes that they are credible people. it's not just some left wing activists or people or the media who he has already attacked. i think these are people who are seen as trustworthy. maybe he thought this would silence brennan though it is not going to. >> brennan said there was collusion, just a question of whether or not it rises to the level of criminal conspiracy. >> i don't think it will quiet them. it is right for them to say it won't and to encourage people that they should not react that way. i will say the casting of brennan and clapper is not a perfect rendit

susan rice. andrew mccabe. peter strok. lisa page. bruce orr. >> what do those people have in common? all of them have been targets of trump's public ire, or they've criticized trump, or both. not on the list? fired national security adviser michael flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi about his conversations with ambassador kislyak. and take another page out of a dictator's playbook. president trump seems to be trying here to manipulate the news cycle. what say you? take a look at his statements as sent out today. clearly dated july 26th, 2018. that's three days after the white house first said the president was considering the move. so why would they sit on this for nearly three weeks? and why release it today? well, the white house aide claims it's nothing but a cut and paste error. would versus wouldn't. a cut and paste error. the president tells "the wall street journal" he was prepared to do it last week but it was in his words, it was too hectic. he was on vacation last week. but you've got to wonder about the timing h

whether it's susan rice, mccabe, comey. a lot of people that have criticized president trump and a lot of people connected early on by the obama administration to the russian investigation and the mueller investigation. so -- and i guess another thing to think about, how do you define erratic behavior? if this is a partisan war of you're criticizing me, your behavior is erratic, where does it end? does this happen every time that the presidency switches parties? you know, i think there's a lot to unpack here even though this just broke. >> shepard: katelyn, stay with us for a moment. i want to turn to catherine herridge, our chief intelligence correspondent. talk about, if you could and as you understand it, the practical implications of this action. >> shep, i've been covering the intelligence community the past 17 years. what i know from my own reporting, when you have a change in administration often they'll bring back the former senior players for ongoing operations to discuss what the next steps might be. they need to

that applies to dan coats and susan rice and others who have decided -- >> dan coats? man -- >> clapper. >> clapper. thank you very much. however, this is clearly an abuse of power and my concern as i said in the last hour for individuals who have clearance whose names we'll not know who do not have media careers ahead of them, in order to make a living for their families they are being conformed by this president that your skreer going to be held as a hostage and you should be afraid to speak out against this administration if you fine yourself so inclined. that's a threat. it's an abuse of power. if it's not treated, it establish as precedent they will regret when it's used against republicans. >> it's reminiscent what you expect from kgb in old world war ii science fiction movies. our intelligence officers should not be donating to political causes. but at the end of the day they have the right to freedom of speech. >> while all this was going on the jury in the the rifle paul manafort now set to reconvene this morning in just a few hours to begin deliberations afte

susan rice never lied about that. she admitted it.e to assess the information. and by the way, that's exactly why unmasking happens regularly. now, as for some of these others, comey, mccabe, they say they don't have security clearances anyway, and that's not unusual because when you get fired like strzok and sally yates, you lose your clearance. so the fact they're on the list tells you that this isn't about cause, it's not about how these people dealt with the trust of national security. none has been accused of abusing their access to secure or confidential or classified information. that's the standard. that's why jared was seen as a security risk. that's why they have a process with someone like a rob porter, trump's people. but these men and women who serve the country, these two, they were dealt with. the rest of them it's just all political payback. those are the facts. and we'll see who falls next. now, of course, this is not just about petty politics. it is also about the politics of distraction, for the president to get awa
