Trump canceling the security clearance of ‘Spies Who Lied’ is a fine start — but don’t stop there

President Trump was darn right to revoke the security clearance of the 51 Spies Who Lied — the former intel officials who misled the nation by falsely dismissing The Post’s 2020 scoop on Hunter Biden’s laptop as a “Russian information operation.”
These officials — James Clapper, John Brennan, Leon Panetta, Mike Morell and others — simply cannot be trusted with access to classified government info.
Then again, numerous others involved with the deception, including, notably, Biden Secretary of State Antony Blinken, are also good candidates to lose their security clearance.
