EXCERPT:
ROTHMAN: "They have media careers ahead of them. The people I’m afraid for are the people we don’t know about who have TS/SCI, lower level individuals who are now going to read this as an effort to silence them, as an effort to hold their careers in hostage. And that is an abuse of power and that is a real threat and that’s something that my conservative friends, I think, have not really taken into account. John Brennan has become explicitly political and as a result, he deserves to have his intelligence clearance revoked. I don't think that's necessarily fair, but it's true. He has been very political. Everybody else in the intelligence committee doesn’t deserve to be punished.”
