    Free Speech Attack? Trump Eyes Pulling Obama-Era Security Clearances

    Free Speech Attack? Trump Eyes Pulling Obama-Era Security Clearances



    After meeting Monday with Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), President Trump appeared to agree with the Senator that certain senior Obama era intelligence community officials may be abusing their security clearances for personal and political gain. Opponents claim that any move to strip the clearances would be an attack on the First Amendment of those involved. Plus bonus topic: Did the FBI mislead the FISA Court in pushing for surveillance permission on Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page?

    If DJT is being linear, logical and consistent, he downgrades the upped clearances
    from the timeframe of Patriot Acts 1&2... If we actually are acting in tandem with
    Putin when going after foreign terrorists who have the USA and Russia as a focus.
