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.
Don’t any of these people want to just retire and take walks in the morning? How old is this guy? Does he not realize that death is near? Jeez…buy a small lake cottage and do more of the reading that you have been wanting to do.
Ex wives are expensive.
Very nice the way you put that.
He retired from the reserves, but served in a civilian position.
Can’t be recalled, as I understand it. Could be wrong.
he s useless to the dems and deep state now, they ll discard him like a dirty diaper.
he s useless to the dems and deep state for now, they ll
discard him like a dirty diaperpromote him to head of the newly renamed Dept of Appeasement in 2029 under the AOC/Mamdani Caliphate.FIFY
I suspect the leaking won’t stop here……… just saying!
I suspect you will be proven correct.
Any Officer that is retired can be called back to active duty. That is where Treason steps in to ruin their lives!
THIS FILTH NEEDS TO LOSE MORE THAN ITS CLEARANCE! JUST LINE IT UP AGAINST A WALL AND POP GOES THE WEASEL!!!!
I’d prefer POP-POP-POP….just to be dead certain the mission was accomplished.
The traitor needs to lose his pension and any other future benefits, as well.
West Point didn’t teach Kendall that the punishment for Treason is the permanent loss of breathing? Or does Kendal think he is above the Law and immune,… like most Commie Dims now?
He has served the USA in the military, he should serve again now,….. as an Example.
it seems to me that too many security clearances have been given out
and once they are given, they are never taken away. Unless you are civilian contractor. Then you have to renew them perpetually!
Even military people have to update theirs, depending on level of clearance.
Loss of access to databases, but gets to walk?? There are harsher consequences for parking incorrectly.
Politics is show biz for ugly people.
–Rush Limbaugh
‘Sure wish I had all the money given to plastic surgeons for that little crowd.
Now that show biz is also mostly politics, members of that profession are mostly ugly too — on the inside.
Politics, entertainment, news and academics all became variants of the oldest profession, so I guess it was inevitable.
Considering all of Kendall’s hit pieces on Trump were dutifully printed in and opined by reporters and editors at the NYT. Logically, first place for DOJ to serve subpoenas. Question for Kendal is which country was he assisting? Is this treason?
Leftism is all run, funded, and increasingly staffed by politically ambitious foreigners.
If only that were true! Leftism abounds at the State Deparment, USAID, CIA, FBI, DOJ, and owns teachers unions, and gubmint schools!
No charges? Of course not, charges, convictions, and jail time are only for those people LET into the Capitol on Jan 6th. Charges are not for actual law breakers.
I wonder which of these past officers, if any, will leak to the press?

That is an excellent photo of an honorable man, who is always on duty. Sec. Hegseth.
I bet that he voted for Biden and Harris and never voted for Trump.
I mean he did vote for Biden and Harris and never voted for Trump
I don’t understand why anyone should still have security clearance after they’ve left the job. Period.
I agree. I had to turn in my corporate “id” when I retired and my family started the company.
The highest senior officials are usually allowed to keep their clearances because they serve on boards and advisory groups for SecDef and SecAF. The logic is that they can give unvarnished advice that present office holders cannot get anywhere else. Members of these boards are often extremely well paid.
I’m late to the party in terms of comments, but it seems the costs of providing this advice may outweigh the benefits of receiving it. Perhaps they need to strip everyone when they leave and then selectively reinstate as needed, ensuring those lucky few know they will be under heightened surveillance. Maybe that will reduce the amount amount of leakage.
He should be made to walk the plank from the rear door of a C-130 at 30,000′ over the Gulf of America.
Yes, a HiLo (high altitude, low oxygen) mission
Blessings to Pete!
Kendall just got schlonged.
And this time he didin’t enjoy it.
they want to do more than undermine POTUS Trump. They want him dead!
It is beyond shocking that a former Secretary of the Air Force — the top guy in the entire Air Force would leak classified information that endangers the security of the President and AF-1.
It is one thing for the Deep State to leak information that makes a President look bad; it is quite another to leak information that could endanger the President. As the former SecAF, there is no way that Kendall did not know the significance of the information.
All people with access to classified information sign non-disclosure agreements that promise fines and potential jail time for deliberate leaks.
Calling Jeanine Pirro (if the leak took place in DC). Make an example of this guy. I guarantee that a junior officer or enlisted member would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Seven Days In May for real.
Every person who was appointed by a selected president should have their security clearance removed!
They’re definitely a threat to the national security of our country.
Strip is pension. Now.
He should also be charged with treason.
And… take his coat!
The better question is, why did he have clearance in the first place? All former administration personnel should be stripped of their eligibility to see classified information, and exceptions can be made on a select basis by the new administration. And when I said former administration, I mean all former administrations.
According to Wikipedia he is a Democrat and appointee of both the Obama and Biden administrations. Waiting for the fake news to label him a political Democratic operative hiding within the shadow government…
That’s it? So now the penalty for treason is losing one’s security clearance? Where is the Trump justice department?
Should be in prison
Has that communist leftist face.
Angry and hateful.
Kinda looks like he comes from the Bush bloodlines. Has the soul less eyes down well.
I did jobs that required access to A LOT OF Highly Classified documents from 1968 In Viet Nam, to a later career in Civil Service for the Air Force. Anyone that releases any Classified to uncleared individuals/organizations is committing a FELONY that has a minimum sentence of 15 Years, and most end up with 30 Years. We need to stop slapping these Criminals with a wet noodle and put them away for LIFE!!!!!!!
If it amounts to Sedition or Treason where is the indictment???
I would have been court martialed and no doubt received a significant sentence at Ft Leavenworth
I did a little research using AI. Frank Kendall is a 1971 graduate of West Point. He graduated from Georgetown Law School, my Alma mater, in 2004. He was in his 50s when he graduated. Good on GU Law for accepting him. Good on Kendall for gong when he was an adult.
But Kendall apparently never passed a bar exam. I can find no indication that he became a member of the bar anywhere. His military biography says he is an attorney, but you can’t be an attorney if you never passed a bar exam.
He only lost his career which was close to the end anyway given his age) despite having committed treason?
No prison!???
