Like other [[liberal]]s, Oppenheimer was not as smart as he wanted to be:  he was rejected by [[Ernest Rutherford]] as a student, and was not at the high level of [[Enrico Fermi]], [[John von Neumann]], or [[Robert Dicke]]. Like a fellow communist later on, former [[CIA]] director [[John Brennan]], Oppenheimer's security clearance was permanently revoked by presidential directive for [[colluding]] with the [[KGB]] and sparking the [[Cold War]] nuclear arms race.  In December 2022, [[Leftist]]s persuaded [[Biden]] to reinstate Oppenheimer's security clearance in a political stunt more than 55 years after he died.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/dec/17/j-robert-oppenheimer-atomic-bomb-security-clearance</ref>
