Removing a security clearance once someone’s no longer in public office was s-o-p in the past, but to hear the panties-in-a-bunch crowd whining now, you wouldn’t know it.

NBC News op-ed headline…“Trump’s threat to revoke Obama-era security clearances is a brazen attempt to silence critics, not protect national security”

The opinion article tries to make the case that those who still have security clearance didn’t ‘monetize’ that status…but ignores the fact such status puts them in-demand.

Not to mention that, who in their right mind believes news commentators or contributors should have access to classified info, especially where national security is involved?

These guys have proven Trump-Derangement-Syndrome beats that issue, every time.

Finally, when it comes to the Left…removing clearances doesn’t ‘silence critics’…

…it takes more than that to shut ’em up.

Don’t worry, FakeNews – they’ll still be available for speaking engagements.
