"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 worries, folks! Trump's inclinations at any given time is intelligence enough!

There's no way foreign adversaries or terrorists or drug cartels can ever get to us in this golden age of America.

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...

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.
