"In an X post on Tuesday, Gabbard confirmed reports of the action to revoke clearances, writing: "Being entrusted with a security clearance is a privilege, not a right. Those in the Intelligence Community who betray their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people have broken the sacred trust they promised to uphold."

THIS is the media narrative advantage of accusing the opposition of what you plan to do to them.

They cried, "Lawfare!", when their J6 and other crimes were investigated, loudly enough to say that now they get to take revenge.

When in the real world, there was little or NO lawfare against... for the OBVIOUS reason that he is guilty as sin on almost every count.

But these people are petty little B's, just like their Cult Leader.

Pretense this is what she meant:

"Those in the Intelligence Community who betray their oath to Donald Trump and put America's interests ahead of the interests of the GOP have broken the sacred trust they pledged to the Cult."

No, all they have to do is get invited to Mar-a-Lago and just sit around listening to Trump telling his guests all sorts of confidential, if not top secret, information. Or they could simply ask where the bathrooms were...

"Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed federal prosecutors to launch a grand jury investigation into accusations that the Obama administration manufactured intelligence."

I voted for this.

"accusations that the Obama administration manufactured intelligence."

Can't wait to see these accusations, and who's making them!

Better check his Long Form Birth Certificate while you're at it.

Yes they must have manufactured it. There's no way that putin would try to bring down america by getting a russian puppet elected.

Oh except the senate report written by secretary of state MARCO RUBIO said they did.

"renewed allegations that Democratic officials tried to smear Donald Trump during his 2016 campaign by falsely alleging his campaign was colluding with the Russian government."

Where's the crime in alleging collusion, when collusion itself isn't a crime...

#13 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-08-22 07:30 PM

Hopefully they subpoena Marco Rubio, and he says his previous report, the one that one might use to allege collusion, was an outright lie to the people of the United States.

A look at those Trump has targeted in tactic of revoking security clearances
federalnewsnetwork.com

... The Trump administration's announcement this week that it would rescind the security clearances of 37 current and former national security officials was hardly an isolated act.

In ordering the revocation of the clearances, President Donald Trump was turning to a favored retributive tactic that he's wielded " or at least tried to " against high-profile political figures, lawyers and intelligence officials.

The latest targets include officials who have served in the government across a range of agencies and positions, including on former President Joe Biden's national security team and at the CIA and National Security Agency.

It's not entirely clear how the list of 37 officials was developed, though some had worked on issues related to Russian threats to elections in 2016 and 2020, an issue that has long provoked Trump's ire.

Some were among the national security professionals who had signed onto a 2019 letter that criticized Trump and that was recently highlighted online by influential Trump ally Laura Loomer. Among them was Joel Willett, a military veteran and former CIA officer who spent time in the White House Situation Room under then-President Barack Obama before leaving the government 10 years ago. He said he was not given a reason for why he was targeted but doesn't think it has anything to do with his long-past government service. ...

A look at some of the other people and industries affected by Trump's security clearance actions:

Signers of the letter on Hunter Biden's laptop

On his first day in office, Trump moved to revoke the clearances of more than four dozen former intelligence officials who in 2020 had signed a letter saying the Hunter Biden laptop saga bore the hallmarks of a "Russian information operation." ...
