During Wednesday's edition of The Lead With Jake Tapper, the panel found itself in a little bit of shock after learning that President Trump had revoked the security clearance of Former CIA Director John Brennan, who has previously called President Trump treasonous in his new capacity as an MSNBC Contributor. Host Jake Tapper suggested that the announcement was strategically timed to distract from the Manafort trial and the Trump-Omarosa saga. Panelist Symone Sanders agreed, saying "I think someone wants to muck up the news cycle."  She then described the revocation of Brennan's security clearance as "ridiculous" and warned that "we should all be scared about the state of our democracy" before declaring that "the President sent his White House Press Secretary out there today to basically poop on the people from the Press Secretary Podium." She later suggested that Congress should censure the President over his decision to revoke Brennan's security clearance.
