Trump Wants To Take Away Former Intelligence Agency Employees Security Clearances

[JBond]

How about lying to a FISA judge to get a surveillance warrant on an American citizen????

How about... no such jeopardy exists, and you just made that up? Seems like my version is aligned with reality, unlike your fantasy...

Of course they lied to get the FISA Warrant.

"In the case of Carter Page, the government had at least four independent opportunities before the FISC to accurately provide an accounting of the relevant facts," Nunes wrote. "However, our findings indicate that, as described below, material and relevant information was omitted."

He's fighting to stay out of cuffs at the moment.

How is he in any legal jeopardy whatsoever? this is the first I have heard of this.

And, of course, nothing he has done meets any legal standard of "sedition", so I have to wonder who is giving you legal advice...

Being the target of collusion, conspiracy, sedition, and Treason makes you a threat / bad, according to snowflakes.

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.

Rubber Room for making up crap.

Trump did not say they were not allowed to talk about non-classified issues or experiences. Just the other day, the former head of the CIA demanded we all pledge allegiance to the Democrat party. Lack of a security clearance does not prevent him from spouting stupid shit. There is no 1st Amendment issue here.

If you think I'm making this up, then you are wrong and didn't watch today's press conference.

Those people whose security clearances he wants to revoke have abused their power and have done some very bad things, among which is failure to indict the Democratic candidate for the numerous felonies she committed, the attempted unseating of a standing President, and the overturning of a legal American presidential election.

They should not only have their clearances yanked, they should be behind bars. If you don't see this by now, you really don't understand what has happened in this country.

How have they abused their power? Lay it out for us.

Ignorance and the lack of intent to break laws are not legal defences for such crimes

Of course it is, when intent is what makes it a crime. And that is why no prosecution was the recommendation.

i am not going to pander to your idiotic fantasies any longer. If you want to talk about Hillary Clinton, go slither into one of the 10,000 forgettable copypasta threads you have started on the topic.

It's so easy to play victim when you control all three branches of government, isn't it?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Of course they lied to get the FISA Warrant.

Says you. I don't have to recognize your fantasies.

And Nunes has been thoroughly discredited and is a laughingstock.

 

[Rambunctious]

I guess you missed the information released by the FBI via a public information request lawsuit by judicial watch....better catch up dude....Carter Page was used by the FBI...the FBI and Comey knew he did nothing wrong....if you ask me so did the swampy FISA judge....the hoax is crumbling as we speak....

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

No I didn't. I saw it, and it further decimated the embarrassing Nunes memo.

For the slow and STUPID, a Clearance does not of and in itself grant access to classified information. Nor does having one or not effect ones 1st Amendment rights. When you leave a Job with a clearance the clearance is put on hold until a certain amount of time has passed and is then eliminated. One only keeps a clearance if they get another job that requires one.

Isn't it convenient that one can claim to know something with out any ACTUAL evidence? When a conservative does that you claim they are lying, when a liberal does it you claim they denied the right to share their "proof". Rather hypocritical and also convenient.

You are missing the point. He said they are using their former positions and the fact they had and continue to have the security clearances to MAKE MONEY off of it by being able to use it as a qualification to speak on subjects. It's not about making money off of actually talking about Classified information, which is illegal for them to do so. The fact Trump pointed them out specifically when saying this, is that was infringing on their First Amendment rights. There are others out there doing the EXACT same thing as they are, making money off of using their qualifications doing tv appearances, that Trump didn't mention.

This wouldn't be an issue if Trump and his people just said he planned to stop the practice altogether with EVERYONE now and in the future, and it would accomplish the same goal... but because his ego would not permit it, he HAD TO point them out by name.

it did not...LMFAO.....

 

[busybee01]

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.

They don't have to keep their mouths shut. Security clearances should not be politicized.

There is no first amendment right to a security clearance. In a nutshell this is just another lie by the left.

No, but revoking one based on nothing but speech crtiical of president pussy does raise some first amendment issues. Pay attention!

They do concerning security issues. If people like you had been in charge we would have been wiped out in WW2.

And as already correctly noted: Trump is petty, vindictive, and spiteful – Trump is clearly unfit to be president.

What are you, a five-year old with learning disabilities? I shouldn't have to "lay it out" for you. Like I said, you really don't understand what has transpired in this country. I suggest you stop feeding on the slop your lying media overlords are spoon-feeding you.

 

[busybee01]

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.

That is not the way it works. Clearances have nothing to do with which side of the political spectrum you are in. There are rules and no one has violated them.
