[See NewsBusters for more.] CNN journalists erupted on Monday at the news that Donald Trump is considering revoking the security clearances of ex-CIA Director John Brennan, James Comey and others. After Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced the news, Brooke Baldwin proclaimed: “Let's just call it what it was. She threw a grenade in there when it comes to the news that she's now saying the White House is now considering not only revoking the security clearance of the former CIA chief John Brennan but also that of Comey, Clapper, McCabe, and Rice.” During the news briefing, ABC journalist Terry Moran confronted: “The President is threatening to punish Brennan and Comey and Clapper for saying things about him that he doesn't like. Is that presidential?” He then lectured Sanders: “Their free speech he doesn't like, and he wants to punish them for it.”
