Is there some valid reason or is Trump just slow to figure some things out (e.g. the depth and dimensions of the swamp, Sessions, Rosenstein, staff turnover, etc.)? When you’re up to your ass in snakes and alligators, continually feeding and letting them wander around in isn’t your best move.

I had a top secret years ago. What ever happened to “need to know”?

Imho, that should have been on the TOP TEN list of items to be done on the 1st day of work just after swearing in.

Aren’t Brennan and Comey CURRENTY UNDER CRIMIAL INVESTIGATION?

Comey has been awful quiet since he found out (on the air) that a criminal referral was made against him.

The clearance is revoked when you leave your job. You are talking about the 10 year or 5 year review period a clearence investigation allows reinsurance without another full vetting.

I’m sure I am not alone when I say that I didn’t know ANYBODY kept their security clearance upon leaving job/service.

Losing clearance should be automatic and only reinstated on a piece by piece basis.

This should have been done yesterday.

Yes, it should have been. This is one of those things about which you cannot understand why they've hesitated.

Then they should have to reapply based on the employers job requiring “ need to know”
What is CNN’s “ need to know”?
Polygraphs of that crew would prove interesting

Even then “ need to know” is based on job requirements
No SAP unless special read-in required

If Trump, Coats, etc. yanks Brennan’s security clearance, can he get the same info from his buddies in Five Eyes?

There are more than a million people with ‘Top Secret’ clearance. There are no secrets, there’s just stuff that government won’t confirm. The reason for all the fake ‘secrets’ is to confuse the fake with the real, to ensure uncertainty and skepticism. Brennan going to be in the know unless serious measures are taken; much more serious than revoking clearance.

Yes. I wondered why it wasn’t done last year. How come we knew it to be so and Trump was advised it wasn’t necessary????Is that how it went? Geez.
