Trump revokes security clearance

Trump to suspend security clearances of 51 intelligence officials who falsely implied Hunter Biden laptop was Russian fake

President-elect Donald Trump, on Day 1, plans to suspend security clearances of the 51 intelligence officials who claimed reporting tied to Hunter Biden’s laptop had “the classic earmarks” of Russian disinformation ahead of the 2020 election, according to a report.

Trump will repeal the clearances of the so-called “Spies Who Lie” as part of a flurry of executive orders he’s expected to sign on his first day back in the Oval Office, Fox News reported, citing a senior administration official familiar with the matter.

Federal authorities eventually confirmed that the laptop belonging to President Biden’s son was authentic,

Following the bombshell reporting, a slew of former senior intelligence officers signed a letter alleging the lot of emails “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation” without presenting any new evidence.

The Post’s reporting on the Bidens was also briefly censored on social media, but the “laptop from hell” was used by federal prosecutors and confirmed as real during Hunter’s gun trial last year.

The FBI also “verified” its authenticity in November 2019, an IRS whistleblower told Congress in a 2023 deposition.

Simple really, if you have security clearance and you then sign letters to lie to the public then you lose you security clearance. It would be incompetent not to do so.

Hunters laptop led to Hunter being charged with tax offences and firearm felony.

There are other investigations that might have ended since Joe pardoned the entire Biden crime family.

Intelligence officials lied they tried to cover up Hunters laptop.

Quote:

December, 2020. Jake Tapper asks President-elect Biden about the rumor that Trump may issue some preemptive pardons before leaving office.

Biden: You're not going to see me do that. 🤣

https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1881334756304118234

Joe pardoned his family for any crime done since 2014 which he said he wouldn't do.

So much for freedom of speach....These people were not working for the CIA or had any access to the laptop and voiced their opinion as private citizens....It is petty and hypocritical to condemn free speach which you do not like....There was no crime and the laptop was a dud....These people are being persecuted over NOTHING....Simple really!!!

Roll Eyes

Quote:

The claims that materials on the laptop prove foreign corruption have not stood up to vetting, even as the authenticity of the device and some of the embarrassing material documenting the younger Biden’s drug use and sexual activity have been confirmed by multiple press outlets.

And all 51 signatories were private citizens at the time they wrote the letter, although a handful held contracts with the CIA at the time, the Republican congressional investigation later found. At least one of those contracts was an unpaid position.

It would be fine if Hunter Biden was a government official, or member of Congress, but he isn't. He's a private citizen, so Trump has no right to go after him. Quite hypocritical of Trump, actually - crying foul about a supposedly weaponised Justice Department and then he sets out to make it a weapon for him to go after anyone he dislikes or feels wronged him in some real or imaginary way. Hence why Biden issued a slew of pardons yesterday.
