Acting DNI Does Not Know If Giuliani Has Security Clearance
How can the Director of National Intelligence have no idea what Rudy Giuliani's role is in U.S. foreign policy and whether he has the requisite security clearances to carry them out?

During this morning's House Intelligence Committee, acting DNI Maguire was asked about Rudy Giuliani's role in the Ukraine debacle and he claimed the only things he knows about Trump's personal attorney is what he sees on TV and reads in the papers.

This is insane. How can the Director of National Intelligence have no idea what Rudy Giuliani's role is in U.S. foreign policy and whether he has the requisite security clearances to carry them out if he's tasked by Trump?

Congressman Quigley was the first member to broach this topic with Joseph Maguire and it's a very important aspect of this entire conspiracy.

Quigley outlined how Rudy Giuliani was mentioned five times in the whistle-blower complaint.

Rep. Quigley said, "In the transcript, the president mentions and speaks highly of Mr. Giuliani, a highly respected man, a mayor of New York, 'I would like him to call you, I will ask him to call you along with the attorney general.'

"Your reaction to a civilian dealing with this? The complaint, it talks about our national security," Quigley said.

He continued, "The inspector general talks about there as the highest responsibility among those that the DNI has, and obviously Mr. Giuliani is playing this role."

"To your knowledge, does he have security clearance?" he asked.

Incredulously, DNI Maguire replied, "I don't know."

"Congressman Quigley, I'm neither aware or unaware whether or not Mr. Giuliani has a security clearance," he said.

1. Incredulously, DNI Maguire replied, "I don't know."

Well, we do know.

2. How can one be "neither aware nor unaware" of something

That's a logical impossibility. Maybe he just stated it badly and meant, "I never asked."

If you're not aware, you are unaware. So you can't be not unaware. If you are not unaware, then you are aware, and you can't say you're not aware.

3. Thank you - that was my first question.

4. I bet Maguire does not know about my security clearance

which I held during my job at a national laboratory for several years and was
terminated when I left the job.

But you would think he would know about Giuliani's clearance.

5. Senator Harris is calling on the State Department to investigate ANY officials who worked with Rudy

7. Maguire knows Giuliani has no security clearance and is doing his best to play both sides

Maguire is a political hack and should lose his position (and perhaps more) for deliberately defying the law and intentionally compromising national security.

8. You'd think intelligence would be about knowing stuff

In Trump world, it seems quite the opposite.
