What I really want to know is does that security clearance grant him (and the others) access to current information - is he able to log on and find out anything he wants? And if not why does he care?
This whole thing doesn’t quite make sense to me. That Mudd nutcase went ballistic at the thought of losing his clearance but I thought he said he consulted for free...so again..this isn’t making sense.
How do they monetize it if they don’t have current information?
It’s like a credential. Imagine a doctor who loses his license to practice, no one would hire him for consultation, but if he still had it, it opens many possibilities.
Remember back to Burger....he had access to the archives and actually stole documents....and got caught....and went to prison.
Brennan is fighting the revocation,
not the suspension of his clearance.
A revocation makes it impossible to
obtain a clearance in the future,
should he be be employed by the
government again.
