I think he has it for 5 years, so would valjar.
I think they have it for 5 years, so killary may not have it anymore. But her pals do. So I am positive she gets the info.
Plus, security clearances are for people you trust.
I have never seen anything like this in politics before.
Ever notice that any columnist or writer named Emily is a flaming leftie?
They must have a common ancestor in Emily Litela.
Revenge??? or “the way it should be”, i.e., you don’t work here, you have no need to be here.
The very day one stops working for the government (And yes they work for the government and this civil servant bullshit is just that. It is a paying JOB the same as a common garbage man) that should end all clearances for everything no matter who you are or were. The day your Presidency ends or position as let’s just say Secretary of State ðends so does the clearance and if you get caught trying to obtain access you go to jail. Tuff Sh*t Sherlock “your time is up”! Any and ALL documents in written or electronic or even verbally recorded material must be returned to the government and no copies are allowed under severe penalty (20 years). If you happen to be called back to work for the government you must once again go thru the entire clearance process no matter who you think you are
Trying? If he wants to do it you can do it with the stroke of the pen. Nobody can overrule him.
Daily Mail has really gone down the crapper. Comments are good, tho.
Rice, Summers, Rhodes, Brennan, Clapper, Comey...all the way to Cankles. No clearance what so ever.
I want indictments too. Lots of them.
5.56mm
And thats the way it should be. All of them. Dems or Republicans. Your last day your security clearance is gone....period. And that goes for the President too. If youre no longer there theres no need for a clearance.
The liberal media point fingers at the Russians. The finger points back to the silly liberal media. They are self-distructive liars.
That is exactly right. No Clearance of any degree once the job is finished for that individual. This has been a serious oversight and, in my opinion, has allowed treasonous people like Jarrett egress into areas she should not have seen at all and certainly not since Obummer was in office.
Apparently it is a "courtesy" and is nothing new. What is new, however, is a previous administration's employees abusing the policy. We sure never heard of GWB's people abusing it once Obama took office (and we definitely would have heard about it if it had happened!). Leave it to Obozo's losers to ruin yet another thing. On the bright side, hopefully the policy will now be done away with once and for all.
I was a payroll supervisor for a company that had 750 persons on a weekly payroll check.
When I left, I surrendered the keys to the building & the keys to my office.
What is the difference with their Security Clearance?
OH-, Yes, Having a National Security Clearance from the United States Government is far more important!!!!!!
I never understood why they have lifetime security clearances. Seems to me that when they are no longer in the position to view security matters they need it taken away. Only let the people involved have clearance. Doesn’t make sense. How fast do you think the next dem president will strip everyone of Trump’s people of theirs when they get in?
Well, to be fair Mike Flynn was yelling "lock her up" at rallies while he still held his clearance.
Trump needs to strip Obama’s intelligence chiefs of their security clearance because they are seditionist piles of excrement.
There is a nuance that nobody is getting.... Having the clearance just means that the necessary background checks have been made and you are eligible to have access if you have a need to know. Access and need to know on the other hand..... simple directive to the appropriate agencies that they no longer have a need to know and their access is to be terminated should be all that is needed.
