The US government security clearances of at least 37 current and former national security officials have been revoked by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, according to a memo obtained by CNN.

Those impacted include people who were involved in conducting an assessment of Russia's efforts to influence the 2016 election as well as members of former President Joe Biden's National Security Council, according to a person familiar. The person noted most of the intelligence professionals impacted are not household names.

"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."
