Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm no expert but my understanding is any access to classified information is at the discretion of the current President, and Biden made it clear immediately after he entered the office that he considered Trump a security risk and would not be giving him access to anything classified. I don't think it's considered a blanket security clearance like with any government employee. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Here's a question for you--what process did Trump go through to secure his Q clearance? Constitutional powers vested in the office, POTUS is the OCA for all material and classification authority stem from his office. Okay, so we agree that any security clearance is derived from his position as president. Now why would that (automatically) follow him out of the office? If the only process he went through to gain his clearance was getting elected president, then he would lose it once he is no longer president, correct? He still has intimate knowledge of privileged information and national security secrets. That doesn't get flushed from your head when you leave the job.

Any classified info Trump had access to during his presidency is potentially stashed in his brain, forevermore, indelible in the hippocampus. All we're arguing about here are hardcopies. We don't classify documents, we classify information. Once he's had access to that information, you can't take it back... and to argue that somehow you can is just ridiculous. The question then is whether he had the authority to retain hard copies of information he was already in possession of. There's legit because hardcopies can potentially fall into unqualified hands and become a leak - but so could verbal recollections of sensitive info at inappropriate times. Biden's a hell of lot more of a risk of that than Trump. But at the end of the day it's all bullshit anyway and the only thing that is going to matter is who can get away with what. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You know if you guys just stopped responding to CMiller he would probably just go away at least until he recycles himself into some new account. It’s not worth the effort and it’s not going to result in anything but wasted time. Influencers engage and try to build consensus - notice the "we agree on " . Then the obfuscation, thread shifting and being overall obtuse . |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It’s extremely likely when Trump received his Q clearance it was explicitly stated it was good until the day he left office. Just because it sounds like the system wasn’t updated when he left office, doesn’t change that. There are Air Force systems that don’t have my correct rank or duty title, as they are outdated. It doesn’t make it true though. Did you seriously try to make an argument based on something you want to exist? GTFO with that bs.

Yet nobody making all these outrageous claims in MAGA Media will pay any price at all for once again getting everybody riled up over a fake narrative/claims. In fact, the opposite is true--they will financially benefit from the reaction to their fake news.

I read the document as confirming that Presidents have the clearance while in office, and they cease to keep it when they leave office. The document was offered as a rebuttal to the claim that he still had the clearance, years after he left office. In normal circumstances, the president retains access for life because they can be called upon by current administrations to give the history of individual subjects, discussions with foreign leaders, clear up confusion, lines of thinking at the point of events, etc. That's been national security policy forever. But only the president. Not their family or anyone else AFAIK. They may undergo background checks, but it has no bearing on their access to classified materials. They aren't going to go around asking how many tons of force do I need to push a graphite rod into a radioactive core, but if it's needed to make a determination on a certain question, I don't think the national security apparatus wants to run around asking "what's the classification of this piece of information in this context and can we tell the president?" as a nuclear power plant is melting down in timbuktu. You understand the thinking behind this, right? |

All the effort put in to deflect and slide away from the obvious issues with corruption at the highest levels - effort that could be used to help address the corruption, instead of covering for it.

You think you have a document in writing from a bureaucracy that did not exist when the Constitution was created. The president is Commander in Chief and by virtue of the office, they have access. Article. II. Section. 1. The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows ------------- Then we have Article. II. Section. 2. The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: No, it doesn't. That's just the point. You think you have a document in writing from a bureaucracy that did not exist when the Constitution was created. The president is Commander in Chief and by virtue of the office, they have access. Article. II. Section. 1. The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows ------------- Then we have Article. II. Section. 2. The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment. Yes, presidents have access to everything while in office, purely due to the office they hold. Former presidents maintain access to classified information solely at the pleasure of the current president. This has traditionally been granted as a courtesy, but it doesn’t have to be. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I guess you deserve points for creativity...? I haven't heard anybody try to frame it that way yet. But since he wasn't charged with improper revealing of classified information (telling somebody what was in his head), I'm not sure how it's relevant. In a nutshell, it is VERY relevant. That was a very good post that you replied to with your own jaded opinion. |

And the current administration revoked the prior’s clearance two years after he left office in order to use lawfare and a willingly corrupt DOJ to hinder his reelection campaign. Much like they used a corrupt DOJ to handcuff his administration during its first three years with an investigation into a known false Russian collusion charge. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The clearance comes with the office. And you lose it when you leave office. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Who “granted “ the President his Q clearance? Hint: not DoE The clearance comes with the office. And you lose it when you leave office. Did he sign an NDA? No he did not. Guess why not… |

When someone posts 5 times per thread page, does this mean anything?
Just curious. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Honest discussion? Is that like posting an inflammatory thread title but then admitting you don’t actually understand what you are listening to and hoping for somebody else to explain it? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: The ignore function would work better if people would quit quoting the idiots who are not here to actually engage in honest discussion Honest discussion? Is that like posting an inflammatory thread title but then admitting you don’t actually understand what you are listening to and hoping for somebody else to explain it? It's been explained and you don't care. Keep sliding the thread Champ. |
