Why? They still have their “expertise”, don’t they? Of course, they will no longer have a LEGAL right to classified info. But then, somehow, I doubt neither they, nor their IC contacts, have ever been concerned with legalities. If their income from divulging state secrets, dries up, then, gee, that’s tough toenails. If the MSM won’t get access to the fodder they want, in order to try to bury Trump, that’s just too bad, too, isn’t it?
These people are so far gone, that they cannot see that their complaints about leakers losing their security clearance, show just how decadent, depraved, and immoral they’re proving themselves to be.

Ken Dilanian

I read something earlier this year that inferred Dilanian was a CIA asset.

Even LeBron cannot muster up the sympathy on this.

A security clearance is not a right...it is a privilege, and as such, can be taken away.

"Robert Mueller has done financial harm to Paul Manafort."

So is the Judge overseeing the case.

NBC News reporter Ken Dilanian suggested Monday that President Donald Trump would hurt the livelihoods of Obama administration alumni by taking away the “valuable commodity” of their security clearances.

How does this square with liberal screeching that these guys aren't monetizing their clearances?

It used to be unheard of to have the former heads of cia and nsa making public political statements. Silence needs to be the rule again. I don’t want them spouting secrets on the nightly news.

Maybe they should've thought about it before signing up to being talking heads.

Please note 32 CFR § 147.14 Guideline L—Outside activities (from "adjudication guidelines")

(a) The concern. Involvement in certain types of outside employment or activities is of security concern if it poses a conflict with an individual's security responsibilities and could create an increased risk of unauthorized disclosure of classified information.

(b) Conditions that could raise a security concern and may be disqualifying include any service, whether compensated, volunteer, or employment with:

(1) A foreign country;
(2) Any foreign national;
(3) A representative of any foreign interest;
(4) Any foreign, domestic, or international organization or person engaged in analysis, discussion, or publication of material on intelligence, defense, foreign affairs, or protected technology.

Point #4 was written just to deal with talking heads who seek to leverage supposed expertise as a result of having a clearance.

Nobody should get a financial windfall nor expect one from a security clearance. Thats just wrong. America has millions of security clearances out there. And there are several that should not exist. Certainly those who make money on them should have their clearances taken away. Or at least put on hiatus.

So who provides the secure server and pays for it? They no longer are employees, so who pays for it? Maybe they go the Hillary route, but it needs to be looked into. What if they get hacked?
