"Why would he announce that he’s thinking about it, rather than just doing it? Unless..."

Now CNN will talk about it incessantly whilst our VSGPDJT will get stuff done. Tangent to this is yes this is the drum roll before it happens, our Lion does it all the time.

IMHO? More should have their Clearance Pulled, the Bush's, The Clinton's even though it is for big events. However I hear that former Sec of States are kept in the loop, so pull it for all of them include C. Rice. I'd leave Dick Cheney and Bob Dole and that's about it....

Don't worry....he's reviewing the text to do it as we speak..

This is just a piece of cheese for the Dems.

Classic Trump.

I wonder if Rand Paul got the ball rolling or if he was just the vehicle to get the ball rolling.

Not sure how it works for CIA and senior executives but for the military you lose your Top Secret Access when you leave a billet that requires it. For code-word accesses you get “read-out” in a meeting in which you are instructed on the rules/laws about any type of disclosure. If you have a TS Clearance it expires 5 years after you last investigation completion unless your organization updates your background investigation. Also, to get access you have to be certified as having a “need-to-know” by a certifying authority.

One would hope... that John Brennan lost his access when he left the CIA already. Pulling his clearance for cause will make it difficult for him to get it up dated.

Somebody on this forum this AM specifically asked for just this thing.

Never thought they’d go through with it. Bout time it did, given they are out of government.

Should have been done on Nov 9th, right after 2016 General Election. Better late than never, I guess.

Good, that will cut off their receipt of leaked top secret info from their buds in the deep state.

I lost my Top Secret

Being the active shift supervisor for the weekend in the comm center I was stationed with in the Army, I wasn't granted a Top Secret clearance until after I was forced to handle a top secret flash message that came into the station over an unsecure teletype from a comm center on the other side of the Canal........

That was on Sunday and I had to give a report to the station CO Monday morning. I was worried because Tuesday I was leaving for home in the states for the first 30 day leave in a year and a half. When I got back to Panama, my security clearance had been upgraded from Secret to Top Secret.............just like that!

What's funny is the fact that since we were a relay station and the only equipment we had was teletype, all messages coming into our station were via teletype tape and all we did was take the tape to the other side of the room and send them out on the transmitting bank to their designated stations.

So all I had in my hands was a teletype tape and never did see what the flash message was all about..........LOL!

Considering where it came from, It was probably just a practice message.......

Wipe the security clearances of all former Obama officials and Obama. None of them need security clearances for any reason whatsoever.

To: Conserv I would think their Clearances would disappear as soon as they handed them the Cardboard Box to put their stuff in.

We used to joke about the "cardboard boxes"

One guy even wrote up a ten page "box assembly" manual and got the boss to sign off on it...added to the QC manual

You can always tell that a RIF is about to take place:

Pallett of cardboard boxes arrive

Staff are assigned to "cardboard box assembly" class

Security guards double up
