Always assumed hearing all the ads on WTOP for active clearance people etc to work at the various GCs meant they were portable. Now I will sound a little less dumb talking to those folks! again, thx for the info! My first job out of college was for a defense contractor. I had to obtain a Secret clearance. The company I worked for had to pay for it. When I left that company, I was told my Secret clearance would be inactive and then expire after a year I believe. Since I had an inactive clearance, I assume I would have been a more favorable candidate for another defense contractor because they wouldn't have to pay for me to go back thru the process of applying. I soon realized that was why a lot of the people that worked for this company were ex-military. The ex-military people already had a clearance so that was one less thing for the company to pay for. 2

B-Man Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Heaven forbid ! NBC Reporter: Trump Will Cause ‘Financial’ Harm to Clapper, Brennan by Revoking Security Clearances by Robert Kraychik Original Article NBC News reporter Ken Dilanian suggested Monday that President Donald Trump would hurt the livelihoods of Obama administration alumni by taking away the “valuable commodity” of their security clearances. Dilanian , who covers the intelligence community and national security issues, accused Trump of “seeking to levy a financial penalty” on former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper — both of whom are paid contributors at cable news networks. Brennan now works for Dilanian’s employer NBC News as an MSNBC analyst. Clapper has since joined CNN in a similar capacity. 1 3

So the argument is that Trump, giving the reason for revoking their clearances as their commoditizing said clearances, shouldn't do so because they're commoditizing them? Can we have just one national discussion in the next 30 months where both sides at least try to make sense?
Deranged Rhino Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Yup. https://mobile.twitter.com/JohnWHuber/status/1022192767999660032 funny how that works.
njbuff Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 Articles of impeachment have been introduced against Rod Rosenstein. Is this finally the start of the justice that America deserves?

His Ohio State scandal is about to get a lot more serious. I'm guessing by Friday we're going to hear he molested students himself. 3

I see people comparing Jim Jordan to Joe Paterno. Is this a joke or what? Jordan is being slimed by Perkins Coie. I'm not worried about that all that much. My opinions on RR/Mueller remain fringe - admittedly. That's why I don't want to comment just yet. Its interesting to go back and see who voted to approve RR and who voted against. He was almost unanimously confirmed - but for the most likely democrats to run in 2020 (Warren, Harris, Booker, and a few more). I have heard horror stories about RR's temperament from DOJ employees. But I've also heard glowing reviews of his commitment to cleaning up the corruption in DC. So... There are some big question marks on both sides of RR. He's either one of the dirtiest players in the game, or he's performing his role for Trump/Sessions masterfully. There's really no middle ground - and also not convincing evidence to make the white hat proclamation with much confidence. (Same with mueller) Edited July 26, 2018 by Deranged Rhino 1

ALF Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 Gowdy also said he supports Mueller's investigation. “I don’t think it’s a witch hunt," Gowdy said. "Russia attacked this country in 2016," Gowdy added. "That’s the No. 1 thing we’ve asked Mueller to look at." http://thehill.com/homenews/sunday-talk-shows/397127-gowdy-rules-out-rosenstein-impeachment
26CornerBlitz Posted July 26, 2018 Author Posted July 26, 2018 Good to see push back on the Trump lackeys. Ryan rejects conservative push to impeach Rosenstein “I don’t think we should be cavalier with this process or this term,” he said of impeachment. “I don’t think this rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors.”
