Hello folks! It looks like Tulsi Gabbard just took a sledgehammer to the old D.C. club that’s been running its little insider games for decades. The National Intelligence Director wasted no time revoking security clearances for a long list of so-called “former officials” who just happen to have spent the last several years working overtime to take down President Trump.
Naturally, the media and the Washington establishment are in full meltdown mode, crying about “unprecedented” moves and “authoritarian” overreach. But let’s be real—what’s actually happening here is that the people who played dirty political games with America’s national security are finally being held accountable.
First on the chopping block? The 49 former officials who signed that infamous letter back in 2020, the one suggesting that Hunter Biden’s laptop was just another Russian disinformation campaign. That little stunt, of course, turned out to be a blatant political maneuver designed to protect Joe Biden in the final weeks of the election. And now, after years of misleading the public, some of these same people are shocked—shocked!—that Trump isn’t interested in letting them keep their access to classified information.
Then there’s the cherry on top: the security clearance revocations for people like Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, and Lisa Monaco—key figures in the Biden administration who helped push one failed policy after another. And let’s not forget Letitia James and Alvin Bragg, the two crusading prosecutors who spent years trying to take Trump down in court. They went after him with everything they had, but the moment the tables turn, they cry about political retaliation. Funny how that works.
Gabbard posted on X saying, “Per @POTUS directive, I have revoked security clearances and barred access to classified information for Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Mark Zaid, Norman Eisen, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, and Andrew Weissman, along with the 51 signers of the Hunter Biden “disinformation” letter. The President’s Daily Brief is no longer being provided to former President Biden.”
Of course, the media is acting like this is some kind of dangerous move that will leave America vulnerable, as if Trump needs the wisdom of these “experts” to manage global threats. The same “experts” who botched Afghanistan, greenlit endless wars, and did nothing while China, Russia, and Iran ran circles around Biden? Yeah, somehow, I think the Trump administration will be just fine without their brilliant insights.
And then there’s the real tearjerker of the story—Mark Zaid, the lawyer who helped engineer Trump’s first impeachment by representing the so-called whistleblower. Zaid is now crying foul, calling this “authoritarian” and whining that it’s just because he was good at his job. Good at what, exactly?
Pushing partisan attacks disguised as legal work? He claims this will make it harder for whistleblowers to come forward, but let’s be honest: Washington has never had a problem with whistleblowers—so long as they’re working against Trump. The moment anyone tries to blow the whistle on Democrat corruption, suddenly, it’s all about “protecting the institutions.”
And let’s not forget Covington & Burling, the D.C. law firm that played a role in Jack Smith’s failed prosecutions against Trump. Now that Trump’s back in office and those cases have been tossed, the firm is finding out that political lawfare has consequences. They spent years trying to take down a sitting president—now they don’t get special access anymore. Seems fair.
This isn’t about revenge. It’s about setting a precedent: if you abuse your power, manipulate national security for political ends, and undermine the country’s elected leader, you don’t get to keep your privileged status. That’s not “authoritarianism”—that’s just cleaning house. And after four years of watching these people twist the system to their advantage, it’s about time.
