Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has revoked the security clearances of 37 Deep State officials including those tied to the Trump-Russia hoax.
Among the 37 stripped of his security clearance was Vinh Nguyen, who assisted Obama DNI James Clapper in producing the now-discredited 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment on Russia’s preference for then-candidate Donald Trump in the 2016 contest against Hillary Clinton.
Gabbard announced on Tuesday that 37 current and former intelligence officials were having their security clearances revoked for betraying “their oath to the Constitution” and putting “their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people.”
In a post on X she wrote: “Being entrusted with a security clearance is a privilege, not a right. Those in the Intelligence Community who betray their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people have broken the sacred trust they promised to uphold. In doing so, they undermine our national security, the safety and security of the American people and the foundational principles of our democratic republic”

InfoWars reports: She added, “This is why, at @POTUS’ direction, @ODNIgov directed the revocation of the security clearances of 37 current and former intelligence professionals who have abused the public trust by politicizing and manipulating intelligence, leaking classified intelligence without authorization, and/or committing intentional egregious violations of tradecraft standards.”
“Our Intelligence Community must be committed to upholding the values and principles enshrined in the US Constitution and maintain a laser-like focus on our mission of ensuring the safety, security and freedom of the American people,” the post concluded.
Former top aide to Obama DNI James Clapper, Vinh Nguyen, was among the 37 who were stripped of their clearances.
Gabbard recently declassified a presidential briefing showing Barack Obama knew the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was a hoax and that his administration intentionally pushed the story by illegally leaking classified information to the press in order to frame President Trump.
While the move to revoke the clearances is a good thing, the American people want Deep State criminals like Clapper, former FBI Director James Comey and others to be prosecuted for their actions.
