On Friday, U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz (FL-01) introduced the “Security Clearance Revolving Door Act of 2023.” The legislation, if passed, will prevent individuals from publicly disclosing if they have a national security clearance. The legislation will also classify the act of publicly disclosing a national security clearance as a federal misdemeanor, with up to a year in prison and up to a $1,000 fine per offense.
On October 19, 2020, 51 former intelligence officials signed a letter titled, “Public Statement on the Hunter Biden Emails,” which falsely claimed Hunter Biden’s emails were a part of a “Russian information operation.” Following the censorship of the New York Post’s exposé on the emails by Big Tech and media tycoons, the New York Times confirmed the legitimacy of the emails on March 17, 2022. The national security clearances of the 51 disgraced intelligence officers were key for the media and politicians to legitimize their disinformation campaign and influence the 2020 presidential election.
“The American people know that the Deep State primarily exists because of the widespread abuse of national security clearances by people who were trusted to act in the interests of our country.
The national security state has been weaponized against Americans to control and influence their political beliefs, especially if they align with President Donald Trump. Fifty-one former intelligence officers plotted and executed a plan with the Obama administration to suppress the source of information that proved corruption between Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and foreign business partners in Ukraine and China.
These intel officers used their national security clearances as the imprimatur of legitimacy for their lies in order to influence the 2020 presidential election. In order to ensure that this never happens again, we must pass the Security Clearance Revolving Door Act,” Congressman Gaetz said.
