[Rhood]

Is your name on the list?





Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced on Aug. 19 that President Donald Trump had directed her office to revoke security clearances from 37 former intelligence officials for “politicizing and manipulating intelligence.”

“Must remain nonpartisan”. This administration is hell bent on denying reality. I’m honestly getting tired of seeing them write blatantly hypocritical statements like this. It’s like North Korea level of bullshit.

She should revoke her own

 

[Soggust]

Presumably we'll be seeing arrests from these claims like leaking classified info?

I would need more information on what exactly they did to lose their clearance. I can tell you it doesn't take much. I have it removed for a lot of reasons. If you are too far in debit and that was not like anywhere near bankrupt. If you got your self in trouble money wise it was best to declare bankruptcy as then you wouldn't lose your clearance.

But that was just for us working people the political hacks can get away with all kinds of shit and keep theirs.

They investigated Russian collusion with the Trump campaign in 2016. That's what they did to lose their clearance.

Did they investigate to find and report the truth or to try and support the lie.

We're not politicizing this, but here are the names!

Let's call it what it actually is. A purge of those deemed "not loyal enough" to the dear leader. Lead by the most shameless bootlicker in the entire administration.

Why should FORMER officials still have security clearance ?

Why should FORMER officials still have security clearance ?

There’s a number of reasons. Most commonly they continue to work as civilian contractors in jobs that require a clearance.

Why are you asking me that though? It doesn’t say they revoked for being former officials it says they were revoked for partisan politics.

Yeah... fuck those clowns

Especially Brennan





They leave the agency, lose your clearance. Makes zero sense for them to keep it.

Another constitutional crisis , thanks orange man

Jobs such as what ? Seems pretty obvious that having people retain security clearance afterwards could lead to problems, but I get it dismissing reality is on the first page of your playbook.

good

Unlike North Korea, you have the freedom to GTFO of this country.

Yeah, that’s the distinguishing feature and you’re proud of retarded rhetoric?

I gave an example- civilian contractors that work with the government. There are at least two rightwing poster on this forum that are exactly that.

There are a lot of people that are not government officials or government employees that have need for a clearance. If these people have been renewing their clearance than they are in a position where they still needed it, as security clearances are not renewed without a need for them. What you’re saying “seems pretty obvious” already happens. Yet again, I have to ask where you are getting that from because Tulsi didn’t cite that as a reason they were revoked nor did the linked article.

Dude, a clearance is basically an accreditation that means an individual has passed a certain standard of trustworthiness to handle sensitive/classified information. When the person leaves their position they don’t retain access to that info and just because they leave doesn’t mean they all of a sudden become untrustworthy. What you’re arguing makes no sense.

I had(have) clearance and dealt in national security. Prior to getting my clearance I thought it was a joke. I don't any more. I retired suddenly due to injury and never got debriefed. I act as if evening I did is classified. If you don't know anything about it, you really don't know
