If we’re not careful, we could end up tying up senior intelligence officials and resources in inconclusive, politically-motivated investigations, rather having them expend their time and efforts in directing our first line of defense—the intelligence community.

This is not the normal flow of news, but a tactic from the Obama playbook.

These people have no sense, make no sense and are untrustworthy. There's Joe Biden telling the world where the "secret bunker" is. All the lies and scaremongering from the majority. They step into their own deceit and get away with it. Where's the reprimand? They lack sense to know, the more ears that hear, more mouths will share! They can't even stand up to the Constitution! What they were taught and lived by growing up! Really! These people have no sense, make no sense and are untrustworthy. There's Joe Biden telling the world where the "secret bunker" is.

When I served in the USN (1971-1975), it didn't matter how high your clearance was, if you didn't have a specific "need to know", you did not automatically have a right to information. This policy should be applied to the rest of the Government, period... I'm wondering what has happened to the "need to know" policy that has governed classified information in the military.

What he has done is unconscionable. Or rather for everyone except for progressive ingrates. Somewhere down the line I hope he reaps what he is sowing.
