Trump stripping the security clearances of numerous antagonists
[NYPOST] President Trump has ordered security clearances stripped from a new hit list of antagonists.

Just days after revoking Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant....
's access to classified information and secure federal buildings — ''because I don't trust him'' — Trump said his new top target is ex-Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who orchestrated the ''Dirty 51'' letter from former intelligence officials on the eve of the 2020 election.

The infamous missive falsely claimed that Hunter Biden's laptop, the contents of which The Post revealed, was Russian disinformation.

Blinken's security clearances will be revoked, following the same presidential directive aimed at Biden and the 51 ex-spooks last week, Trump told The Post in an exclusive interview.

''Bad guy. Take away his passes,'' he said of Blinken.

#3 Let's turn this around and ask why people who do not work for the government any longer need a security clearance?

#4 For folks that leave government to work for contractors that provide parts and services to classified projects there is a reason for the clearance. For folks like Biden, Blinken and Milley who have proved themselves to be security risks in office, there ought to be jail time, but pulling their clearance is a minimum punishment. I expect that Trump will work his way back through Russiagate to the lovebirds but we will see. For most high level folks, they expect to leverage their government service to 7 figure boondoggles in retirement. There is a level of behavior that has been broken for a lot of these clowns including the 51 that has qualified them for clearance whack-a-mole for starters.

#5 A great many Democratic operatives most likely still have security clearances and have proven themselves to be security risks. Cancel all of them!
