Tulsi Gabbard Revokes Security Clearances of Biden Officials

Tulsi Gabbard revoked the security clearances of Antony Blinken and Jake Sullivan amongst other Biden officials, such as Lisa Monaco, who oversaw the prosecutions of Trump Capitol supporters. Others include Mark Zaid, Letitia James, Norman Eisen, Alvin Bragg, and Andrew Weissman.

I'm so old I remember when right wingers on SSCI almost rejected Tulsi Gabbard bc of her unwavering support for Ed Snowden.

Trumpf is using his cultist tool Tulsi Gabbard to not only weed out people of color and LGBTQ personnel from the USIC, but also to punish his enemies and affect their livelihoods. The human scorpions in the administration are the most despicable miscreants to befoul the US and nobody is happier than Vladimir Putin.

This is the stuff that people like Trump and Gabbard do instead of work.

Good. Now raid their homes and pilfer through the missus' panty drawers.

Petty tyrants are gonna be petty and tyrannical.

We have fact-free, values-free Trumpers to thank for this mean-spirited, rationality and morally and legally deficient authoritarian billionaire oligarchy.

There's definitely something off about that woman. At best, the glazed look on her face reminds me of a new age religious cultist. No matter how you cut it, she's a dangerous fanatic. Unlike Kennedy, who I think isn't very bright but isn't anywhere near as malicious as Gabbard.

This action also forecloses the federal government and the intelligence community from tapping into the specific information these people may possess, in times of crisis. None will be able to tell what they may know, in furtherance of the resolution of some problem where an experienced hand is needed. Many administrations have tapped into the knowledge that previous officials have. Sooner or later some intelligence issue will arise and the Trumpers will be on their own, and probably in over their heads ...

The retribution that Pres Trump promised during his campaign continues.

51 signers of the Hunter Biden "disinformation" letter.

they all should have their clearances revoked, they all lied and participated in election interference

" they all should have their clearances revoked, they all lied"

What a riot. They stated the provenance of the laptop had all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation.

That statement is 100% true.

Which, of course, is ample reason to have your security clearance revoked in Trumplandia.

" What a riot. They stated the provenance of the laptop had all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation.

That statement is 100% true."

It was a lie and they knew it was likely a lie. They were engaging in election interference (which at one point in time was regarded as a bad thing by lefties).

"It was a lie"

Describe the known provenance for the laptop.

#13 | Posted by Danforth at 2025-03-17 12:06 AM

It was a lie and they knew it was likely a lie.

And yet despite their best efforts, no one could prove it was real.

BullBringer proves he's not worth engaging in serious conversation when all he posts are lies and conspiracies.

What a worthless person.

This should be done in a fair manner. Give them 30 days to return all the potentially classified intel that they have and then send in the FBI for 5AM dawn raids to ensure all the files were returned. Make sure to check in their garages next to the Corvettes.

Well after the election both WaPo and NYT reported it was real.

You are spinning for professional liars. Blinken concocted the whole story "Russia disinformation" lie and got 51 former intel officers to sign on. It was a classic case of election interference.

What a riot. You can't even admit the known provenance of the laptop. You've never even ACKNOWLEDGED it.

More water, Gunga Bell!

"after the election both WaPo and NYT reported it was real."

Not "real" in the sense that everything claimed was true, and that it hadn't been tampered with.

BTW, what awful thing was claimed? Was it the same stuff Gym Jordan and Gomer Comer could never seem to prove?

Did you miss those spectacularly self-imploding hearings as well?

#19 | Posted by Danforth at 2025-03-17 02:27 AM

"Blinken concocted the whole story"

You'd have to be a moron not to notice the laptop had been in the hands of Russians.

Still can't admit the facts, can you?

More Water!!!

"This should be done in a fair manner. Give them 30 days..."

Wouldn't the fair thing be getting the Trump option?

You know...multiple years, lying under oath is okay, and no consequences at all if re-elected?

And how did you come to this conclusion when the FBI and DNI did not?
