Trump Wants To Take Away Former Intelligence Agency Employees Security Clearances

[Lewdog]

Sooo he wants to take away the 1st Amendment rights of former federal employees to be able to talk about their life experiences because he doesn't like what they have to say. His excuses is they are making money off of it and that what they are saying is lies.

So a couple of things here... Almost EVERY former higher up federal employee have done interviews, done speeches, and written books after their retirement. That includes former Presidents. Why is Trump picking on ONLY people saying bad things about him? Shouldn't this be a universal decision to take it away from ALL FORMER federal employees?

The second and largest thing is, they are using the excuse that it is inappropriate to criticize Trump because of their former position and that they are doing so without any evidence. Well then does Trump want them to instead go on air and tell the truth and all the stuff they know whether it is Top Secret information? What a chicken shit thing for the White House to say... "You can't criticize the President about something you aren't showing proof of" when they KNOW that they can't share the Top Secret information they DO KNOW.

Sanders says Trump is considering taking away security clearances from Brennen, Comey, McCabe, Clapper, and Rice "because in some cases they have monetized their security clearances."

If they can't keep their mouths shut they should lose their clearance and it's a stretch for the OP to say Trump wants to take away their first amendment rights. That's ridiculous but then look who is saying it.

 

[OldLady]

What's that mean? I have never heard any of these people divulge any classified information. What does he mean, "monetized?"

I DO think it is weird that they keep their security clearances after leaving their jobs, though.

There are people with Security Clearances on Fox network who use their positions to make money there... but they aren't on Trump's list. THAT'S why it is a First Amendment issue.

Trump is only doing this to his political opponents, NOT ALL people with former positions and Security Clearances that are making money from it.

Sorry need more information on this other than a far left religious cult followers take on this..

Any link?

 

[CarlinAnnArbor]

Good. Clapper should be in jail

 

[MarathonMike]

None of these ex Intelligence clowns should have an active clearance. Those are the very clear rules regarding clearances. If they are active, they should immediately be put to inactive status and thus their access to TS information blocked as it should be.

 

[TNHarley]

linky?

If he did that the cheering across the nation would be loud...no citizen with a brain likes Obama's goon squad..... Presidents are not suppose to use the top law enforcement agencies as his personal police force....aimed at his political foes.....
Maybe no one told the first black president that when he snaked into office...

Too funny.

 

[MindWars]

Oh, so it should be ok for someone to turn traitor of the US snitches on their own PResident, risk our security because they can't be trusted with their own President. LMFAO and you want to claim a BS abused claim of " FREE SPEECH". Jesus Christ LMFAO

The FKRS turned on Trump, they have turned on our own country. Whose to say they won't turn over top secret information oh wait the Clintons and Obama already have but that was ok and all a conspiracy.

I DO think it is weird that they keep their security clearances after leaving their jobs, though.

Security Clearances have expiration dates and must be renewed every so often, they don’t terminate just because you no longer have the job that required one. Perhaps it’s different for certain government officials, I can’t say for sure.

That being said, just because they have a security clearance doesn’t mean they have access to classified information for which they don’t have a need to know. Need to know is a part of the requirement for accessing classified information. There’s no reason to believe they know things beyond what they know because of their previous access when they had their jobs.

This sounds more like the President slapping them on the wrist or perhaps just being petty.

Wasn’t Bill Clinton the first black president?

How are they snitching on the President? Trump is saying they are lying about him and are not presenting evidence. Why should Trump care if it isn't true?

Trump considering removing security clearances for Obama-era officials

'White House press secretary Sarah Sanders on Monday said that President Trumpand other top Obama-era intelligence officials.

Sanders accused Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former FBI Director James Comey and others of “politicizing” and “monetizing” their public service.'


Over and over and over again it has been proven that Democrats can not be trusted with classified.

You sure Clapper or one of them isn't an analyst or something for CNN? I could be wrong.
