Marco makes his mark: Leads Senate push to strip Hillary of security clearance
The Washington Times ^ | July 7, 2016 | Stephen Dinan

A high-powered group of senators officially petitioned the State Department Thursday to suspend the security clearances of former Secretary Hillary Clinton and her top aides — a move that could effectively kneecap her preparations for the White House.

Sen. Marco Rubio, a member of the intelligence committee, led the push, joined by Sen. John Cornyn, the Senate’s second-ranking Republican and a handful of others...

They took that step after the White House said it wouldn’t act on its own. The administration says both major presidential candidates have traditionally gotten such access, and President Obama won’t break that tradition despite the allegations against Mrs. Clinton.

How can the Senate strip her of something they didn’t grant her?

This should be done as a minimum.

That said, I doubt it will happen.

It will have to be signed by the President in order to become law.

No Democrats will vote for it. Bernie might, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Obviously these senators are sexists and are afraid of a woman running the country.

Also, although Hillary is definitely not a lesbian these senators secretly believe she is and don't want a lesbian in office. Therefore they are homophobes as well as misogynists.

/(do I really need it?)

Does John “F’n” Kerry have a security clearance after the treason he committed in the ‘70s?!?

Laughable. What do they THINK OBAMA’S State Department will do?

But it might play to the masses.

I don’t know how the higher level clearances work, but when I had a secret clearance, it was good for a certain block of time (maybe 5 years but I’m not sure). This is because people move in and out of government and civilian government jobs that require clearances.

Why Rubio? Why now? Are you doing this to help her? Because it will help her. NOBODY in this gov thinks she did anything wrong. Todays testimony is just going to be sound bites for them.

KABUKI.

Do it, but it won’t matter. The American public twice elected an imposter who hates this country and wasn’t eligible.

And play second fiddle to Rubio? No, Cruz is busy working on his 2020 campaign.

No security clearance, no can be President of the United States.

I know I’m stating the obvious here...
