• Useless crap

    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/201 to All on Sat Feb 8 16:43:06 2025
    I read that Trump revoked some kind of federal security clearance for a whole bunch of jerks including Biden, Blinken, and NY Attorney General Letticia James.

    So, I live in New York state. What does this mean for me?

    My state's attorney general is no longer allowed on federal property?

    Or, she's not allowed in certain federal buildings, where special clearance is required?

    More importantly, does this mean that my state will need to appoint a new attorney general, to replace that useless piece of crap that's no longer allowed in certain federal spaces?

    No matter what, I like this. I like it a lot. Because Letticia James is a useless obstructionist who does nothing for real people facing injustice but only serves the Democrat elite.

    I'm just wondering what cool stuff will happen as a result of this move.

    Possibly. It is also possible that she had some sort of clearance to
    access federal data, although I don't know why the NYAG office would need
    that. Other departments in your state might use it, though.

    Not sure. I would keep following the story and see what the reaction is
    from the NYAG office, if any.

    Probably nothing. In some of the cases, it could very well be "business as usual" and the feds revoke this type of access whenever an administration changes. That is true here in Kentucky. If you were part of the previous administration, you lose your "employee" access to a lot of things as you
    are now a member of the general public.

    Generally speaking, our new governors don't take credit for such moves but, then again, in my lifetime none of them have been nearly as egotistic as
    some of our recent Presidents, either.

    No matter what, I'm glad Trump did this. Anything he can do to fight back against the tyrants in NY is not just personal gain for him, but it's personal gain for me also. You made a good point about "federal data." We don't need her accessing any of that.

    This gal is part of the state's administration. I'm not sure if the governor prefers to have an AG who can access classified federal data, but if so, then it looks like Leticia is going to have to take a pink slip.

    Correct.

    prefers to have an AG who can access classified federal data, but if so, then it looks like Leticia is going to have to take a pink slip.

    My point was that you lose access to any state, or federal, things you had access to when an administration changes. Her case is different because
    she wasn't a politically appointed federal employee.

    Aside from removing your AG's access, most of the people who lost access were likely going to lose it anyway so announcing it like it is some big accomplishment is not really news. It is, as your subject line suggests, useless crap that didn't warrant the administration bragging about it.

    The Biden part seems significant. He is the only former president who won't be receiving intelligence briefings.

    But as for Leticia James, she shouldn't have had any federal security clearance in the first place. It makes me wonder who else has access to federal data and shouldn't.

    There is some significance to that, indeed, but with his declining mental condition, I am not so sure it is as significant as we might believe.
    OTOH, it would not be bad for this administration to at least consult with
    some members of the previous one.

    Kennedy consulted a lot with Eisenhower. Clinton supposedly consulted some with George H.W. Bush. George W. Bush supposedly consulted with Clinton,
    and Obama supposedly consulted some with Bush.

    Even if you don't like how they handled *anything*, there could be something they have record of that you would not want to overlook. You don't want to
    go into the next Afghanistan pullout as unprepared as Biden was.

    But as for Leticia James, she shouldn't have had any federal security clearanc
    in the first place. It makes me wonder who else has access to federal data and
    shouldn't.

    I don't know why an AG would need it. Other departments would need it.
    You do realize that, when you file your taxes electronically, your state receives a copy of your Federal tax return data, right? I don't know about
    NY, but Kentucky uses some of the federal forms (like Schedule C and maybe F) to reduce the redundancy of forcing a taxpayer to fill out the exact same data twice, and to reduce the redundancy (and cost) of maintaining the exact
    same tax forms.

    Could there be a single memebr of Biden's administration who wouldn't take the opportunity to sabotage the country? Possibly, but it seems like Trump is distancing himself from the previous administration as a precaution and not because of a grudge.

    They do that here too, so if Leticia wanted Trump's tax info, she could probably get it from the state's dept of revenue. I'm more concerned about her getting her paws on information that pertains to security and/or elections. She'd sell us out if she had the chance.

    Well after trusting Fauci in 2019, I would assume that Trump would treat everyone from a previous Regime to be hostile until proven otherwise.

    That's only prudent.

    I can't think of a single reason why a STATE officer would need that level of access to NATIONAL security information.

    If, on the off chance that she does for a legimate reason, she can always ask for the information. But I highly doubt she would ever have a legitimate reason.

    Maybe if it was a good administration. The current one is shaping up very nicely. The next president should consider keeping a lot of these people (especially Musk) on speed dial.

    Leticia James is the piece of trash who charged then ex-president Trump
    with fraud, but in related news, I've personally reported people for welfare fraud (because they victimized my disabled loved one) and Leticia James never did anything about it.

    I think you are wrong here. Trump is quite capable of acting on grudges.

    They do that here too, so if Leticia wanted Trump's tax info, she could probably get it from the state's dept of revenue.

    She can only do so if she has the proper clearance, or a warrant.

    I'm more concerned about her

    She probably shouldn't have such federal clearance.

    Of course she didn't. That wasn't their plan.

    And keeping people dependent on welfare was part of their plan.

    There's logic in that, but I don't get why they wouldn't want to stop peasants from taking a piece of their pie.

    Because it's not their pie. They took their piece out at tax collection time. The payouts happen after that.

    The Elitists want a return to feudal times where they are the "lords" and the rest of us are serfs.

    To that end, they want to create a dependent class. People pay in. The Elitists take their cut. Then whatever is left is doled out to the serfs. But never enough for them to get out of being a serf.

    Of course, they don't realize that the end result is for no one to produce and, therefore, pay taxes. Then their whole scheme comes crashing down.

    But it's well known that the Elitists are morons.

    I understand now. A few cases of medicaid fraud here and there doesn't hurt the big shots much. But if it got on the news that "Attorney general prosecutes poor person for medicaid fraud" then it's not going to make the dependent class feel very comfortable with the Democrat attorney general.
