Loading ...They’re Fired: 100 Intelligence Officials In Sick Chat Group ‘Terminated And Their Security Clearances Revoked’
An egregious violation of trust.
“There are over 100 people from across the intelligence community that contributed to and participated in this – what is really just an egregious violation of trust. What to speak of, like, basic rules and standards around professionalism. I put out a directive today that they all will be terminated and their security clearances will be revoked,” Gabbard told Fox News‘ Jesse Watters.
“But the thing here Jesse is – you’ve got to take a step back, because this is barely scratching the surface. When you see what these people are saying, and thanks to Chris Rufo for putting this all online – they were brazen in using an NSA platform intended for professional use, to conduct this kind of really, really horrific behavior. And they were brazen in doing this because, when was the last time anyone was really held accountable? Certainly not over the last four years. Certainly not over the last 10 maybe 20 years, and we look at some of the biggest violations of the American peoples’ trust in the intelligence community. So, today’s action in holding these individuals accountable is just the beginning of what we’re seeing across the Trump administration – which is carrying out the mandate the American people gave him.”
