Trump just revoked my security clearance… one small problem: I haven’t had one in years. 😂

This isn’t about security—it’s about his fragile ego and petty revenge.

Extortion works.

Succumbing or adjusting to extortion can also work.

Paying off the mafia was problematic. But—especially if the mafia was in cahoots with law enforcement—it was better than NOT paying off the mafia.

At least in the short and medium run. The runs that matter most to most people.

The message is clear. Given that the White House has already kicked one news organization out of the pool because of coverage it does not like, it is making certain everyone else knows that the rest of us can be barred too if the president does not like our questions or stories.
Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.
