Social Trump Admin goes on a Security Clearance revoking spree

[A Very Serious Cat]

Why would former officials still have or need clearance?

 

[Darkballs]

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

The NSA's top A.I. and cryptologist was featured (by title, not by name) in a report put together on russia trying to interfere in the 2016 election. His security clearance was revoked against the wishes of the NSA who said he was their most experienced person in these fields. No other claims about him were made.

Stop playing stupid.

 

[Darkballs]

Yeah... fuck those clowns

Especially Brennan





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

None of these make the claim that Rudy Guiliani ever had possession of Hunter's laptop or provided it to the FBI. Nor has Rudy, who's since been debarred for lying about the 2020 election, ever told the public what horrible illegal information he supposedly saw.

Pro tip: Getting caught spreading lies doesn't trigger the libs. It's actually kinda fun to beat up on such unworthy opponents.

The report that said that were trying to help Trump win that was a lie. A lie that was pushed by the democrats even Obama.

No it didn't. The report he was fired for was a request by the NSA to look at how, from a technical standpoint, the russians were attempting to interfere with the 2020 election. At no point did Nguyen weigh in on the politics of the issue.

Boy you sure did move pretty quickly from the whole "I have no idea, can someone explain this to me...," to "I'm totally ok with this and will make up reasons to support it."

In my position there was a limit to cleared personnel. We were allowed only so many. The sickening part is the depth of background required and the fact it was hacked after I got my clearance.

I may have had my clearance revoked and it should be since I retired more then 10 years ago. The sad part is I don't know, you'd think someone would say something after years of inactivity. But this is the government and they are wildly inefficient

Go back to my post where I asked the question. It was a question as was my other post.

If they removed his clearance for no reason then he has the right to fight it.

I saw a report about Adam and they claim he received 108 million dollars and Adam laughed it off. He said I would bought an Island and laugh. They are doing anything they can to divert attention from Epstein.

A bunch of people that pushed the fake Russia Hoax got stripped of security clearance, fine with me. Should probably face harsher punishment though.

They did remove his clearance. And as it was explained to you, they did have a reason. It was because he stated, correctly, that russia tried to interfere in our elections. And he can't fight it, because this isn't something he can take to court.

But hey, if we suffer any consequences for firing our top cryptologist at the NSA, then you guys can always blame Hunter Biden's dick or something.

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

We all know this is why , some are play acting otherwise

 

[Crazy Source]

Another disgusting partisan act that makes our country less safe. So much winning.

 

[chardog]

“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.

If chardog didn't post hollow posts how many posts would chardog have ?

It's alright, I'm sure they have a replacement ready to go. He's 23, has a BA in political science from an online college, and delivered Elon Musk's mail for a year.

To be fair it’s better than when the little idiot actually does write something

Oh the part that's really going to hurt us long term is they are cutting Intel personnel by 40%. That's going to leave us at a huge disadvantage globally.

Republican administrations have always needed to be cleaned up after when the DEMs get in charge, but the burnt swath that this administration is leaving will be felt for decades. It amazes me how someone could look at these things happen and think it's a good thing.

 

[Fluffernutter]

I remember when the mantra was "Clearance goes to the job, not the person"

Maybe.

On the other hand, I clearly remember over a decade ago, WaPo's guy assigned to writing about the agency stated something along the lines of:

"Why are they sending someone to Chile to write reports about the price of copper, when the State Department's econ officer already does that?"

There seemed to be some responsibilities that are already covered.

Now, 40%, I'm not sure about that.
