The second time I was in Korea I was housed in a SCIF. The comm center’s equipment was dated 1944. This was in 1982.
The president is in control of all clearances at every agency and level of the government, period. People here used to ask “how in the world did Barack Obama get a clearance?” He didn’t need one. He was the authority in charge of such matters, just as Trump is now.
I’ve been assuming that they may be needed for consultation, thus keep their clearance active.
...at least that’s the only thing I can think of, otherwise it is ridiculous.
Terry Moron tried to make it into a freedom of lies spin issue.

Imagine leaving a company and still having complete unfettered access to everything they did in the past are doing in the present and will do in the future. Government at work...
It’s not unfettered access. It’s access to stuff the official was involved in when in office. The current Administration controls such access 100%.
“What’s funny is the fact that since we were a relay station and the only equipment we had was teletype, all messages coming into our station were via teletype tape and all we did was take the tape to the other side of the room and send them out on the transmitting bank to their designated stations.”
Sounds like you were a 72B/E aka tapeape
Actually it was 72B and 72F........While advanced AIT included AUTODIN, never dealt with it personally.........
Hopefully they lost access like the rest of us did/do - the clearances are generally left to expire their normal deaths...actually rebuking them would make it so a valid entity couldn’t have them reactivated and make a specific statement.....I spent a number of years as a Unit Security officer (both as active duty and as a civilian) and processed/verified clearances/access..
