Long overdue...
Back in the fall of 2020, after the New York Post published a bombshell story about Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell,” the Biden campaign worked behind the scenes to dispute it. The campaign eventually recruited 51 former intelligence officials to sign on to the letter suggesting that the laptop was Russian disinformation. The letter was published three days before Biden debated Trump, which allowed him to dismiss the story during the debate.
“Look, there are 50 former National Intelligence folks who said that what this, he’s accusing me of is a Russian plan,” Biden said in the debate. “They have said that this has all the characteristics — four — five former heads of the CIA, both parties, say what he’s saying is a bunch of garbage. Nobody believes it except him, his, and his good friend Rudy Giuliani.”
But it was way worse than that. The letter was used by Big Tech as cover for social media platforms to censor speech about the laptop. The letter stands out as the most significant example of genuine election interference in our nation’s history.

They should have lost their clearances a LONG time ago... Along with a lot of other people (like generals, admirals, senators, congressmen, etc.)
If you're a peon, you get a maximum of 2 years to reactivate your clearance if you change jobs, but those above get to keep theirs forever!
The old some pigs are more equal than others holds true in this case for sure...
There is no realistic reason for those clearances to be extended, as most of those folks are no longer involved in anything where they 'need' clearances, and if they are, the company they are working for should be carrying the clearance.
That would be one more thing I'd add to the 'housecleaning' list, if I were in charge!!!
You get the most flack when you are closing in on the target. The fake outrage about DOGE and incompetent losers in government service becoming unemployed is amazing to watch. When fake post come out in social about GEN Miley, FBI director, CIA Director, and former intel officials talking about retireing or leaking the country to avoid accountability in 47s administration, maybe shouldn’t have done the FA so you won’t get the FO…
Aside from simply yanking a clearance hasn't it always been the case that if you're not in a billet that requires the need to know you don't get access? You do something that might indicate you are of low moral character, you lose access until the situation gets resolved. Easy, shouldn't have to go any farther than that unless someone has the temerity to appeal...and be willing to take his lumps in possible criminal or civil proceedings. If it comes to public bitchslapping, so be it.
