If you aren't in a position to review secure documents why does it matter if you're clearance is revoked? Isn't it kind of revoked by not having a job that gives you ACCESS to secure information?
I guess. I have no idea how it works. wouldn't you want to revoke it so someone can't say "well I let him review the file, he's got clearance"?
That would be the logical assumption, but this is the government so why make it simple. If the security clearance really only is something that allows you access if you're in the position to receive it, then revoking it is unnecessary, It seems like a loophole that needs to be fixed. Without an ID or electronic database access, the clearance should be worthless, but as we've learned it seems like an easy way to get a position and pick right back up without any further consideration until the next mandated review.

Undoubtedly, that was part of his motivation. Stick it to Obama at all costs.
Who knows. maybe that was obama's motivation too, in warning him. "that buffoon is going to hire him instantly now....watch it all crumble as I go sailing with Brad Pitt and Chris Hemsworth"

Then he should have told him how bad Obama care is too

It Was Cultural Anxiety That Drove White, Working-Class Voters to Trump
A new study finds that fear of societal change, not economic pressure, motivated votes for the president among non-salaried workers without college degrees.

I'm not surprised by this at all. The people who are afraid of culture change are afraid of an America that isn't mostly or even all white. But it's too late. Already in California Caucasians are a cultural minority. Eventually, in a few generations, America will be tan. No white people, no brown peole, no yellow people, just tan people. The thought of this makes the people who are afraid of "Cultural change " crazy. Sucks to be so closed-minded.
I saw an "America First" bumper sticker today. Me first!
My question is when wasn't America first? Can a Trump supporter explain what that even means?
i'm obviously no trump supporter, but it means: -bringing back jobs from overseas (unless you work for a Trump hotel, of course), -using american made products (unless you are builing a trump hotel, of course), -shitting on a decades old trade deal with your two neighbours -grabbing only american p****

Actually that's not true. To work in the WH, you typically go through a much more thorough assessment conducted by lawyers and investigators. It's deeper than what is required for even Top Secret clearance. I don't believe it's mandated by statute, but it's generally accepted practice.

I think Hugh has it right. The Atlantic, in an article right after Trump's Inaugural Address where he read Bannon's and Miller's America First speech said: "The phrase in itself might provide comfort for those of Trump’s supporters who have long railed against what they see as lawmakers in Washington catering to special interests, corporations, and other countries at the expense of, in their view, the American worker. " The article also gave an interesting, short history of the anti-semites in the America First Committee founded in the 1940s. From that article they also mentioned Pat Buchanan's 2000 presidential run on the Reform Party ticket where he adopted the America First slogan. At that time Trump called him "a Hitler lover". Interesting how times change.

Are people still here not sure if Trump knew about the plan to get him elected there is no way you can convince me he was not aware of the fix being in place to get him elected. !
They were just waiting for any reason to do it, to kill momentum on the investigation. The overstated testimony gave them cause. Remember he was a Bush appointee.
Comey is a jackass, but I doubt he's as big a jackass as whoever Trump appoints will be. This could be bad.... I dunno, maybe for once he'll not make the most inappropriate choice possible?

Sounds like that hillbilly Jeff Sessions made the recommendation to Trump to shitcan Comey. Maybe Trump will appoint one of his sons to run the Bureau. I can't imagine Trump will find anyone qualified and acceptable to him who would actually want the job.

He's not going to put someone who will investigate him. I'd be surprised if he didn't put in a "yes" man
Comey fired because of how he handled Clinton's email investigation. That makes sense as that was the one thing (other than all the racism) that got Trump elected. And, man, that fat orange dude is seriously not having any fun in the job.

Even money he puts in a relative.
This is just awesome. Fire the guy who is in charge of investigating him.
