Drumpf suspends White House security clearance whistle blowerr Tricia Newbold

First this...........




So yeah... that is the GOP's argument. "Well, only 20% of the clearances granted were REALLY BAD, and she admitted that!" AS IF SOMEHOW THAT MAKES IT OKAY??????? I'm sure if Hillary had done the same thing, granting clearances to her daughter and son-in-law among many others, that if the GOP found out only 20% of them were really bad, they would just wave it off.

The way they phrase it they try to make it sound like Newbold had malicious intent to make drumpf look bad. As if she's making a "mountain out of a molehill" using the number 25 when she could have just said 5.

Then this........






















18 years she served her country under Obama and Bush. I feel for her. I am a very responsible person who plays by the rules so I would be humiliated if I were ever suspended. Not to mention two weeks without a paycheck will hurt ANYONE not in the 1%. Compound that with the targeted harassment about her dwarfism.... She has ONE HELL of a lawsuit if she wants to pursue it.

This is DEPLORABLE. I hope she gets offered a job elsewhere but she probably enjoyed serving her country and defending it as well by overseeing this process.

and if i can kind of go off topic.........

"Failure to follow a new policy to scan documents in separate pdf files instead of a single pdf file"

WHHAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT??????????? WHY would that be a policy??????????? Why would you EVER want to scan a multi page document into single PDF files????????????? Can you imagine a 300 page document in a folder with 300 PDF files instead of just one? That is a TERRIBLE way to store documents. You are just asking for files to get lost, moved, out of order, not to mention what a PAIN IN THE ASS to read the document if you have to open one page at a time!!!!!!!!

Into multiple pdf's, at one pdf per page.

It says the issue was 'scanning multiple documents into single PDFs'.

A 'document' can contain many pages

Not that this makes ANY OF THIS okay, just a point of fact ...
