I agree. It seems to me the matter of controlling security clearances is extremely important. I suspect half the intel community of China and Russia have been able to obtain a US clearance under their own name or with a phony name.

Now is the right time to clean up the entire program. Have everyone in need of a clearance reapply and undergo the appropriate background investigation. But if the need is not there, do not reapply and do not grant it.

“Brennan, Mueller, Comey, McCabe, Strozk...all of them consitute a self appointed Nobility that considers itself above the Congress, above the President, above any elected official.”

It seems obvious to me that these perps, along with a few more, form a conspiracy to overthrow the government. It is is a serious offense punishable by life imprisonment, or if treason is involved, death.

Can anyone give a reason why they have not, are not, conspiring together to overthrow a duly constituted government of the United States???

Maybe it’s because we were born before the “push button” world. We knew how to mash potatoes and didn’t depend on the instant kind.” Haste makes waste” and a dozen other sayings still work most of the time.

I will have to say I do exhibit a willingness to waste at times.

There is no wrong reason for revoking the security clearance of an enemy agent!

Way to go President Trump!

My gate badges for national labratories and military bases all had mandatory renewal dates stamped on the back.

Everything should be like that.

And then we must never forget General Patton’s very wise credo: “I would rather have a good plan today, than a perfect plan three weeks from now.”
:>) Aren’t we all a little bit guilty now and then?
