"You appear to be claiming that the government penalizing someone for speech "

Message Replied To ==========

Retaliation? Apparently so. Stifling speech? Denying 1st-Amendment? I don't see it.

Brennan is free to say whatever he desires (excluding classified information) publicly.  President Trump may act like a butt-hurt child in response, he may revoke a security clearance, but I don't see where he has denied Brennan a vehicle, venue, or opportunity to speak his mind.  In fact, Brennan has been quite vocal and it has been covered widely.

Poor analogy, imo, even excluding the thinly-veiled swipe at those who take issue with the real censure of speakers and stifling of 1st-Amendment rights on college campuses.

==============================

is not stifling free speech.

Kind of like giving speeding tickets is not stifling driving fast?

Brennan said things Trump didn’t like.

Trump had the government punish Brennan by revoking his security clearance.

This is not stifling free speech?
