Thoughts on Trump revoking security details of ex-staffers w/ CONFIRMED threats against them? Should any POTUS even have this power or pros @ Sec Svc?

[DrPepper12]

Donald Trump recently revoked Secret Service security details for several individuals that POTUS Biden had reinstated the past four years.

John Bolton: Trump ended the Secret Service protection for Bolton, who had been under threat from Iran-backed operatives since 2021. Bolton criticized the decision, citing ongoing threats against him.

51 Former Intelligence Officials: Trump signed an executive order revoking the security clearances of officials who signed a 2020 letter critical of Trump's continuous misinformation & abuse of investigatory processes in the DoJ. Notable names include James Clapper, John Brennan, and Leon Panetta.

It's terrifyingly petty & sends a chilling message to current staff

They deserve it. Negative talk, even outside of power, is not to be tolerated.

It's complicated... Here's my take...

These guys just use their security clearance to get top secret information for their books and tv appearances. Also deal it to foreign countries. They do not work for the government anymore and they do not need access to this information. Besides they are all liars and should be showed how serious the crime of election interference is.

[DrPepper12]

This isn't about CLEARANCES. It's about them and their families lives!!

Has anyone of them been convicted of this "election interference"? I'll wait

[beefcakebradybatson]

What do you think Trump is, slobbering Putin's tiny c**k?

[exitseven]

@DrPepper12 Not yet. Maybe soon. Its pretty easy to make a case.

[Dargil]

If the threat is CONFIRMED, arrest and prosecute the perps. The job of the USSS is to protect the POTUS, VPOTUS and their families first. Butler proves they can't. Then we can consider others.

[DrPepper12]

1) it's not that simple
2) false
3) what's to consider if intelligence agencies say it's a credible threat?

[Dargil]

Getting weaker and weaker and weaker. You are boring the living Schiff out of me.

[Lliam]

I don't see why ex-staffers should get free security in the first place. Why are they more special than average citizens?

[DrPepper12]

Read slower. They have verified threats against them and their family. That's why.

[Lliam]

So what? 😢😢😢. I don't think taxpayers owe former government employees lifetime benefits above and beyond their normal pensions. Besides, these people are already wealthy and will move through the revolving doors into corporate jobs or think tanks. They are part of rarified ranks of the beltway elite. Let them get off the government teet and hire their own security.

On top of it, I wouldn't be unhappy if some of these dirt bags had "accidents".

[onedarkcloud]

They were proven liars. knowing that they were signing a bunch of lies they chose to sign the letter of lies anyway. people who lie in their positions are untrustworthy to do such an important job and investigations

[DrPepper12]

So risk their lives over policy differences? REALLY? Is ANY intelligence really so rock solid as to be categorized truth or lie? C'mon

[onedarkcloud]

I guess we will just call them untruths. More than half are not field agents the others had nothing to do at all with the investigation but signed the the untruth anyway

[Anonymous]

they don't deserve their security clearance for the bullshit they pulled off

John Bolton and the war criminals of the old Republican Party can go fuck themselves

[DrPepper12]

Holy fuck. READ!!! It's their security detail, not clearances!!

I too HATE John Bolton and he should rot in hell but til then he was a zealous public servant under REAL threats to him n his family. This isn't a game!

[Opinion Owner]

he can hire his own security. this is the price you pay for being a RINO. both Democrats and MAGA hate you

[Juxtapose]

Why should they have protection when if I am threatened, I don't get private security provided by the taxpayers? Doesn't really seem fair to me. You should have to be in government or be a really prestigious ex position, such as president.

[dustybiker2]

Voldemort treated his followers better.

[DrPepper12]

ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY

[Staximus]

People who are no longer members of the government or military do not need a security clearance

[seeyounexttuesday]

Good. Fuck John Bolton and the people who conspired to cheat Trump out of the 2020 election.

[dustybiker2]

And still crying about it.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@dustybiker2 Nah, I'm happy. THese fuckers are getting justice.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@dustybiker2 and since you are a coward and deleted my reply, I'll say it again. John Bolton had a significant hand in leading the US into a war in Iraq under lies and false pretenses. This caused the death of thousands of US soldiers, millions of Iraqis and trillions of taxpayer dollars. He should rot in Hell.

[DrPepper12]

I HATE John Bolton but he's earned protection for advancing the national interests I VEHEMENTLY disagree with. What future public servant will be a zealous defender of our interests if they circumscribe themselves out of fear for themselves or family? Did that not occur to you?

[seeyounexttuesday]

If they are working to destroy the country, I'm fine with it. Fauci just lost his, too. Couldn't be more happy.

Let them pay for security with all the taxpayer dollars they laundered. FUCK EM

[dustybiker2]

Your reply was probably deleted by a mod. It was offensive.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@dustybiker2 lmao. I know what happened.

[dustybiker2]

Another empty response in a chain of them 🥱

[dustybiker2]

The value is in the experience.

I'll look forward to not having to see your empty responses and member posts anymore.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@dustybiker2 you will. Don't worry.

[Ladsin2]

Don't know anything about it, but I know y'all just tried to do this to him. Good for the goose and all that. Said C

[Anonymous]

They've deserve it

Only other natural order was to switch the detail to a culling order

[DrPepper12]

Deserve death for public service? Interesting take...

[Opinion Owner]

Spy's who be one security risks have that or yo run so far they'll never be found
