POTUS definitely has the authority to revoke clearances. That is part of his job as the Chief Executive of USA. The question below about revoking the below names is possible. McCabe and Strozok was fired from the federal gov....THEY should have been revoked!!! Why not, what excuse for not...based on the fact that they were both fired. Page and Ohr jumped ship or are civilians. It is easy to revoke those also.
Sanders said that Trump was using his "constitutional authority" as president to revoke Brennan's clearance — something that has never been done before, according to Lawfare. Trump is also "evaluating action" regarding the current and former clearances of several other former intelligence and law enforcement officials like James Comey, James Clapper, Michael Hayden, Sally Yates, Susan Rice, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and Bruce Ohr.

Don't like it when someone disagrees with you? Do crap like this.
Speaking out against our nation's leader is one of our most cherished freedoms. Taking such action is childish, but more importantly, it is reason for alarm, for what else might he do?

If someone is working for the news media, they should not have a security clearance. Tell me they are not going to be writing and accidently say the wrong thing?! Most of those guys are old, an they have no need for their clearance. And with Brennan asking the jerk, who thinks the POTUS or anyone is going to ask his opinion of classified. He is a political animal. I would never trust him.

I suppose he has the authority. But does he do it for good reason or as a petulant child? I would warn against anyone that wields their authority in such a self-serving manner.

The hate he spewed about the office of POTUS....Brennan was a disgrace. He lost his own credibility.

SSgt GG-15 RET Jim Lint - That is your opinion. I disagree. Just because you don't like someone, or like what they say, is not sufficient cause to revoke a security clearance for punitive reasons. If a Democrat POTUS had done the same thing, the right would be screaming bloody murder, and rightly so.
The only reason Trump revoked Brennan's security clearance what to prop up his own fragile ego. Maybe this is the kind of action that you expect from a leader. I don't.

SSgt GG-15 RET Jim Lint - Apparently Admiral McRaven disagrees with your assessment as well.
