Scott Jennings, a voice of reason on CNN, recently appeared on Laura Coates’ show to discuss why former President Trump was justified in revoking the security clearances of the Biden family, Hillary Clinton, and other Democrats. Jennings assertively highlighted that these individuals have repeatedly exploited their proximity to national security to politically target Trump.
Jennings used the notorious case of the ’51 intel experts’ who falsely claimed the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation as a prime example. He further emphasized that far too many individuals in Washington possess such clearances unnecessarily.
Here’s a portion of the transcript via Mediaite:
I think when it comes to the Bidens, I mean, given the family’s long history of influence peddling and dealings with shady people overseas, I think cutting them off from national security information is frankly a pretty good idea.
That’s number one. Number two, some of these people and their affiliates and the people they’re associated with at the upper reaches of the Democratic Party have proven time and again that they are willing to abuse their adjacency to national security information for political purposes.
We all remember the 51 intelligence people who signed the Hunter Biden laptop letter, for instance. And so I think what Donald Trump is doing is sending a strong message. No longer are people like this who float in and out of government going to be able to abuse their national security access for political purposes, and let me just tell you, something that goes around comes around because as [David Sanger] just said, they cut off Donald Trump in 2021.
Watch the clip, this is great:
Reacting to the news of Trump canceling security clearances for Democrats & the Biden family. Good move given the long history of Biden family influence peddling to shady overseas characters and in places like China.

The Democrats have set the standard with their actions, and now they face the consequences. After years of abusing the system to attack Trump, they don’t get to protest when the tables are turned.
