Several Republican lawmakers want Congress to strip the security clearances of dozens of former U.S. intelligence officials who worked against President Trump in 2020 by asserting that information in the laptop of Hunter Biden was likely Russian disinformation.
Republicans have called for accountability from the 51 intelligence officials who were accused of helping Democratic presidential candidate Joseph R. Biden, Mr. Trump’s opponent in 2020, by issuing a joint letter stating that the information in the laptop bore the hallmarks of an operation by Moscow.
Hunter Biden is the president’s oft-troubled son, and the FBI later verified the authenticity of the scandalous material in the laptop.
Vice President-elect J.D. Vance pledged during the campaign that the incoming Trump administration would strip the security clearances of the 51 former intelligence officials “who said that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.”

NOBODY not anymore in their government positions needs to keep their security clearance!
That’s how they peddle information to the press in what would otherwise be a violation of the espionage act (what they tried to charge Trump with).
Remember Comey sending info to his buddy at Columbia U, who then gave it to the press.
Well that was because his buddy still had “clearance”
Revoke THEM ALL! We really don’t need their ex-government employee commentary.
What will the Leftist MSM do without their anonymous sources? Oh, that’s right just make them up.
ABSOLUTELY!!
“Vance pledged during the campaign that the incoming Trump administration would strip the security clearances of the 51 former intelligence officials “who said that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.”
Nail them to the wall. It’s time to clean house.
Your security clearance is based on the work you do. My guess is a lot of them are consulting with firms, departments that require one.
I like the idea, but as a matter of principle, ALL Security Clearances should be Revoked the day You Leave the job.
Hunter’s laptop contained evidence of espionage and blackmail at the highest levels.
the ‘intel officers’ participated in a fraud alongside foreign agents in an attempt to undermine the campaign and future govt of the United States.
this is sedition. working with foreign agents to overthrow the sitting President makes it treason.
losing their clearance is a must... followed by ARRESTS and CHARGES.
There’s always a lot of tough talk from Republicans after they have a big election win, but when it comes time to actually do something........... crickets.
People need to understand that while the democrat party is almost totally corrupt, there are enough corrupt individuals with the (R) by their name to make it almost impossible to right wrongs and punish the guilty. With Thune now in charge of the Senate, you can expect something similar to McConnell’s sabotage campaign Trump experienced in his first administration. This is one reason the Republicans appear so weak when new blood are cheated out of their seats. The establishment likes things just the way they are.
I think my DOD clearance ended the day I got laid off.
WINNING!
Good, without accountability the anarchy will continue.
That’s a start but Gina Haspel greenlighted it. She and the entire leadership of the CIA needs to go.
Not good enough. They need to be prosecuted and sent to prison for *DELIBERATE* election interference.
They knew they were lying, and committed this act of election interference with malice aforethought.
Security clearences are not supposed to be used to lie against your political enemies.
NEW BROOMS SWEEP CLEAN
It’s a good reason to file criminal charges, let alone revoking clearances.
