Related: About this forumPutin Ally Tweeted Brennan's Security Revocation Two Days Before The White House Knew About It
On July 24, two days before the the notice released yesterday was dated a Russian tweeted that the news Brennan's clearance would be revoked.
It appears that weeks before the American people knew that Donald Trump would be revoking former CIA Director John Brennans security clearance, and days before the White House memo declaring it, Russia knew.
Specifically, a Russian billionaire with known connections to Vladimir Putin tweeted out a list of names and declared their security clearance void. John Brennan was on that list. Two days later, Trump announced he was revoking Brennans security clearance. Three weeks later, the American public was informed.

It's strange that this isn't more widely covered.

(10,023 posts)1. Because the names were actually disclosed one day before the tweet.
There is still obvious coordinated Russian support tho

(13,424 posts)2. It's not more widely covered because Sarah Sanders released the list the day before the Russians did
The official dated memo from the WH was several days after Sanders first released the list.

They are in constant communication with Russia. So are many in the Congress.
