All twelve, huh? I hope they like Trump jamming them sideways, because they have six-and-a-half more years of it coming right up their butt-hurt poop chutes. Pardon the childish vulgarities, but they seem somehow apropos to the craven imbeciles at issue.

There are a lot of Deep State connected people who have no business with access to our national security secrets!

To the contrary, they have a lot of "business" with their access. And PDJT is going to shut it down!

Anyone know exactly how many lamp posts there are in Washington? We might need them all. Might even have to ‘double up’...

The Hannity radio show also discussed this today. Peter Schweitzer of “Clinton Cash” has written a new book about this. Keeping the security clearance appears to be for only the “elite” of the agencies, not for those a rung down the ladder. One of Hannity’s guests, Mr. Uesinger discussed this also. Try to listen to a rerun of the show if possible. It helps create the revolving door of DC.

When will one of the talking heads get to the schwerpunkt of this matter.
These ratbastards only want to keep their security clearances because at this point in their miserable lives it’s a MONEY MAKER on their resumes.
Cant be a national security “EXPERT” on an alphabet network without it.

So true. My worry is how much of “the store” did they sell away to the enemies of this country.

This is the REAL reason they are upset. Starts at the 2 min mark:

The Dan Bongino Show

" I wonder if he still holds a security clearance."

He certainly should have after feeding classified info to his mistress.

No, but they need to hang for a while.....long enough to bring in the buzzards and long enough for the MSN to cover it, that could take a while.....

Resume enhancers for jobs at CNN should not be tolerated. Ex government officials are upset because their illegal feeding of classified information is being cut off.

Follow the money. And at this point what difference does it make anyhow? It's not like they are going to give advice on how to rescue an embassy in Bumfikistan?
