1. This is an attempt by Trump to silence Brennan

and

2. This would hinder any future attempts to utilize Brennan's knowledge

They are both easily countered.

In regards to #1, Brennan doesn't need a security clearance to run his yap.

In regards to #2, Brennan doesn't need a security clearance to pass on information he already possess.

He can have it reactivated easily if he were to have a job that required it.

Negative. That was true before it was revoked. When it is revoked, it cannot be reactivated. A new investigation is needed, which he would fail due to having a clearance revoked. He is phucked.
