…is only a start:
If we had a real media and not the world’s most pompous Democrat transcription service, the CIA’s blown Chinese spy ring disaster would be front page news but hey, Omarosa! In any case, the only consulting anyone should do with the members of this class of unmitigated failures whose incompetence brought us 9/11, Iraq, Libya, ISIS, and a future where we would all be wise to learn Mandarin, is to ask their opinion and then do the opposite – Costanza style.
Let’s look at our elite’s track record of success. Don’t worry – it won’t take long. We’re still chasing bandits in Afghanistan after nearly 17 years, the Navy can’t stop running into other people’s boats, and our best and brightest in the FBI are texting each other like teens while they try to undo the election. They can’t be bothered with things like, I don’t know, following up on warnings about psychotic freaks who get online and announce their plan to shoot up schools. Oh, and remember the 2008 economic collapse? I’m thinking you weren’t the one making bad bets with billions of dollars that brought it all tumbling down. By the way, guess how many people the feds tossed in the pokey for the 2008 meltdown that cost you and me a trillion bucks? One. Uno. A single dude.

Had this happened under Trump, how would the media cover it? Under any other President, this would have been the scandal of the Presidency but for Obama it didn’t even rise to the top 3 intelligence scandals, not that any of those got the attention they deserved either.

None but the hundred of millions from settlements paid to the feds were redistributed to Democrat activist groups, so its not like no one got punished.
Exactly! I haven’t heard one media outlet point out that when you quit your job for which your clearance was granted you lose it (if you’re just me or one of my non elite friends). You can get it back within 90 days if you take a different job with a company that will agree to maintain the clearance but I don’t think being a commentator on CNN would justify it. Plus I doubt they have a government security office ; )
Not only that if I were to give any of these former “high ranking government officials” who retain their clearances some classified information, I’d likely go to jail because they don’t have any “need to know” that I’m aware of. It’s not enough to just be cleared!
