WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is taking further action against the 50 former intelligence officials who falsely suggested Hunter Biden’s laptop was “part of a Russian disinformation campaign,” instructing agencies to also ban those individuals from stepping foot in secure U.S. government facilities, according to a memo obtained by The Daily Wire. The Jan. 29 cabinet memorandum, first obtained by The Daily Wire, expands Trump’s day-one executive order, which revoked the security clearance for the 50 individuals. Sent “on behalf of the President,” it orders the country’s top national security agencies to “revoke unescorted access to secure U.S. Government facilities from the 50 former intelligence officials named in the Executive Order.” “These individuals no longer possess a need to access secure facilities, and as outlined in the Executive Order, do not have the appropriate security clearances to access classified information,” the memo states.

Can he do that?

[9YearLurker]

I think he just did.

[dinodino]

Yup, and he should.

[right way right]

Maybe he can sue the 50 for slander also?

[dhs12345]

Executive Branch? I would guess yes. Lets have it vetted publicly so that everyone can see for themselves that either these officials were fools or liars. The facts prove that they were wrong.

BTW, we really don't want fools or liars in our intelligence agencies. It is a security risk.

Zero-trust architecture.

“Can he do that?”

He’s the boss of the executive branch of government so that would be a yes.

[joshua c]

evil or stupid?

how about both

either is disqualifying

[where's_the_Outrage?]

Would be an interesting development if a democrat invited them into the congressional SCIF.

[quantim]

Thought there were 51, did someone croak?

[cgbg]

They should also be banned from any type of security clearance so they cannot cash in from private contractors.

[Strict9]

wow As with everything these days- I hope this is real

[hardspunned]

Let’s hope

[bray]

Take out the top two floors and start over.

[dhs12345]

Forgot to include... political hacks.

[1Old Pro]

Can he do that?

Sure can

[MayflowerMadam]

“Maybe he can sue the 50 for slander also?”

And election interference, unless there’s a more extreme crime than that. They did it specifically to thwart a fair election.

[Gaffer]

It just keeps getting better and better.
