All These Were National Inquirer FAKE NEWS lies:
Bigfoot did not keep a lumberjack as a love slave.
Hillary did NOT have 6 months to live.
Al Gore is not a reptilian
Hillary did not frame the Trump family for meetings they chose to take.
Michael Douglas is not gay and
Michael Jackon’s nose didn’t fall off.

As to your point about security clearances, you make it seem like it is more of an advantage to the person holding the clearance than it is to the country and newer people in the positions who need their input, advice and benefit of their experience. That is diversionary on your part or else you do not understand the purpose for allowing those no longer in office to keep their security clearances. The purpose is to benefit the country as new people in office call upon people experienced who held those offices.

If you understood that, you would also understand that revoking those clearances weakens the channels of valuable experience in critical matters and thus weakens the country.

You are correct that those losing their clearance can still say whatever they please. But you forget to address the fact that (a) revoking security clearances should not be used by a president to punish those who exercise their First Amendment right and (b) a president who does this is thinking more about himself and his wounded feelings instead of considering the contributions of knowledge, wisdom and experience these people can make. Thus the president is being immature and putting his own feelings ahead of America. You cannot silence your critics just because you do not like what they say about you.

A president who does that is violating his oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution because he is failing to respect the First Amendment.

Finally, the people in former key positions do not make more money later because they have security clearances. They cannot disclose any security information. They get high paying positions because they had key positions in the government which also came with security clearances.

And your president thinks the National Enquirer run by his buddy who just flipped on him is real news? Wow.

Stop with the conspiracy theories Trump borrowed from Alex Jones. If we talk FACT, not theory, Trump has lied over 4,000 times. And to question Cohen’s credibility when every lie we know of from Cohen was for Trump and directed by Trump is just dumb.

Pat you should know better that to write such a partisan based BS article which ignores all the facts. A witch hunt is usually because a witch is somewhere around. And many of them have been caught, indicted, taken a plea deal, confessed, incarcerated etc.

It is hypocritical for Republicans to say what is not there when the investigation is not complete. And Republicans, like Trump, are scared that the truth is the truth, truth which leads to the president’s illegal activity and likely impeachment.

Let’s also get something straight. There is no law nor Constitutional guideline which states a president cannot be indicted while in office. Another lie floated by Trump and his zombies. It is a Justice Dept policy, not a law. And who does Donald Dumb slam? The head of the Justice Department.

Here is the repeated Trump playbook that seems to completely fool his zombie supporters time and time again.

LIE, LIE, LIE
DIVERT
DISTRACT
CREATE CHAOS
CREATE DOUBT
BLAME SOMEONE ELSE
PLAY THE VICTIM

Same old plan every single time. I could respond to and refute your article point by point but people with a brain already see the facts and Trump supporters ignore them no matter what. Trump thinks his supporters are so dumb that he said he could shoot somebody and they would support him anyway. And he is right, they are that dumb.
