Director of National Intelligence strips security clearance of 37 current and former intelligence professionals "who have abused the public trust"

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said Tuesday that she was removing dozens of security clearances for individuals who had "put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people."

The official memorandum says President Trump has ordered, "effective immediately," that all 37 individuals be stripped of access to "classified systems, facilities, materials, and information." In addition, all government contracts, including employment, with these individuals is terminated. All credentials held by any of these individuals "must be surrendered to the appropriate security officers."

Some of these individuals worked on the 2016 Russia collusion hoax manufactured by the Obama administration to purposely hamper Trump's first term.

While many have left government work, others like Beth Sanner routinely use their knowledge and platforms to peddle their own versions of propaganda.

The Biden administration really made a mistake when it put Tulsi Gabbard on a watchlist of "suspected domestic terrorists," didn't it?
