A Trump-supporting Pentagon analyst was stripped of his security clearance by Obama-appointed officials after he complained of questionable government contracts to Stefan Halper, the FBI informant who spied on the Trump presidential campaign.
Adam Lovinger, a 12-year strategist in the Pentagon’s Office of Net Assessment, complained to his bosses about Halper contracts in the fall of 2016, his attorney, Sean M. Bigley, told The Washington Times.
On May 1, 2017, his superiors yanked his security clearance and relegated him to clerical chores.
Mr. Bigley filed a complaint July 18 with the Pentagon’s senior ethics official, charging that Mr. Lovinger’s superiors misused the security clearance process to punish him. He said his client complained about excessive “sweetheart” deals for Mr. Halper and for a “best friend” of Chelsea Clinton.

WNU Editor: Why am I not surprised that there is no main stream media coverage of this story.

Our editor is always "surprised" when a story of little major importance in reported by a right-wing paper and the issue involves what seems to be right wing versus left wing stuff. I assume there is a place to lodge a complaint and have a case examined...there are in fact a number of reasons that security clearance can be revoked...I believe there are 13 reasons...and when Trump revoked the former head of CIA's clearance (pique and not a standard reason), there was little complaint but rather the assumption, it seems, that this should have taken place.
ps: how does one know a worker is a Trump or Obama supporter etc?
In any case, there is the ethics person who will handle this...this "case" has as yet not become an issue worth taking up by the MSM when in fact the major figures of the FBI, CIA, NSA are mentioned as perhaps losing their security clearances
Like we see with Keith Ellison, if a prominent Democrat does exactly what a Republican is condemned for doing, its good, perhaps patriotic and noble.
