US President Donald Trump has taken away security clearances for former Vice President Kamala Harris, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and others in his latest move against his Democratic opponents.

The Republican president, who has also revoked the security clearance for former President Joe Biden, defeated Ms Clinton in the 2016 presidential election and Ms Harris in last year’s election.

      Clinton hasn’t held or run for office in almost 10 years, not sure what she would deserve clearance for.

        Sometimes, past administration officials give advice or help. Only those with clearance can be consulted. Trump would never seek their help but other officials or unelected workers might. However, that can’t any longer.

        If she is contracting/consulting. That being said she has some history of mishandling classified emails so hers is justifiable. The rest not so much.

    Can’t say I’m too broken up about Clinton. Heard a podcast she was in a couple years ago where she’s still idolizes and gushes about how much she loved Henry Kissinger. So I don’t really want her giving advice to fucking anybody.
