After a controversial leak investigation, which included New York DOJ subpoenas to collaborating journalists, it appears the Dept of War has identified the source of the Airforce One security compromise, former Secretary of the Airforce, Frank Kendall.
Disgraced former Biden appointee and staunch activist democrat Frank Kendall has now lost his security clearance, and his nongovernmental career as a contractor, consultant and lobbyist within the area of military procurement. Kendall can no longer hold any sensitive position in the private sector that touches on Pentagon programs.
(Via Dept of War via X) – Effective immediately, the Department of War has REVOKED former Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall’s eligibility for access to classified information and his ability to hold any sensitive position.
This action follows his unauthorized disclosure of classified information regarding Air Force One’s capabilities to a media outlet.
Safeguarding classified information is a non-negotiable duty. Those who violate that trust forfeit the privilege of access and any role requiring it. (source)
This type of duplicitous scheming is one of the reasons why DC didn’t want Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. DC wanted someone they could count on to undermine President Trump.
I know there can be a useful side of this but having someone with a security clearance that retires from the military and then uses that for monetary gain in the civilian sector is an iffy proposition. The bad actors make the good guys look bad as well.
The ideal solution would be to not have a standing army. Without a standing army, there would be no military-industrial complex and no need for post-service security clearances.
If only our Founding Fathers had had the foresight to take measures against a standing army.
3-2-1…….MSNOW will have a fresh Trump traitor to play victim to their 200 thousand watchers nationwide.
That many?? Take out Starbucks it would be half that
Maybe if their clearances are pulled when they leave service this Crap won’t happen!
The old ways no longer work. Legal rules need to change, immediately. Understand reasoning behind the rules. Our govt. is the biggest joke in today’s time. Retired security needs to cease. The days of trust are far forgotten.
Prison
Treasonous prick.
Hang him for TREASON immediately!
They call it The Deep State for a reason. We are at war from within.
But will he be prosecuted?????
I’m actually amazed, impressed, and very happy that he was caught, and at least his career is over and reputation tarnished.
In my day we called the the “Rolodex Rangers”,senior post career guys who knew a lot of senior DoD people who would answer their call, and got hired by contractors on the basis of that alone. They had a shelf-life of about 1.5 years until the access dried up, but some did actual work after they got hired and kept the pipeline open. Given the genuine threats against Trump, talking about AF-1 defensive weaknesses should be a flat out decades=long Leavenworth address!
Judge Boseburge will rule to give him his security clearance back.
As it should be
I would like to know why he did what he did.
Can someone other than Kendall offer a concise explanation of how he justified his own actions?
TDS?
