And when removed, they should have all clearances revoked. Ridiculous. The president is not a king. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, two silly questions Question 1: Are Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Hadyen, Rice, or McCabe currently employed by a Federal Agency in a position that requires a security clearnance? Question 2: If the answer to the above is no, why do they still have an active clearance? If they have left the position which requires a clearance, the clearance should already have been deactivated upon their departure. At best their clearance should be dormant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me one good reason why ANY federal employee should be safely esconced in a job more than any other person in any other job? They shouldn't. And the fact that they are is part of the problem we have in this country. They don't have to perform. They don't have to care. Hell, they can be wildly insubordinate in many cases (See: Comey).

LaDexter Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Everyone in government who screws Trump is 100% completely honest and patriotic to America... and Rod the Mossad's timing releasing the indictments of the Russians was total coincidence.... one day before Trump met Putin....

That's just...I don't even have a word to describe that. So, in your addled mind, Trump should have to tolerate bureaucrats in open rebellion against his presidency?

You have to have a suitable transition between administrations and you have to maintain clearance to do so. Any president can take it away but should do so only for really good reason otherwise intelligence efforts could suffer. take your partisan blinded off.

Clapper and comey have been out of the government for what, now, a year? What POSSIBLE good reason do they have to maintain a clearance? They don't have a good reason.

I don't know the answer to that. I indicated my understanding is that continuity is important. I am not a member of the intelligence agencies. Neither are you.

oldmanfan Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 And my understanding is Comey no longer has clearance nor McCabe. I think that's FBI policy.

LaDexter Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Clapper and Comey have a lot to fear regarding Vlad Putin.... One thing is for certain, no matter what you believe happened on 911 or other times, the Russians were spying on us.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hey Trump haters.......... and you know who you are.................. Instead of this constant obsession about bashing Trump, how about beating him at the polls in 2020 and get him out of office so you won't have to complain about him for another four years in 2020. Do you have a candidate that can even remotely challenge Trump in 2020? Because you will continue to be off your rockers if you don't. Your constant bitching and moaning and obsessive hate will only guarantee Trump's re-election in 2020 and you stupid @#$%'s don't even realize it. Grow a backbone and vote out Trump in 2020, because your complaining is becoming completely transparent and no one listens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
