Do they think that “security clearance” means financial security?
The President is correct in that they are monetizing their security clearance, i.e. selling classified information. During my entire military career I held a T.S. clearance with access to SCI material related to several very sensitive Black programs and if I went on a program like say “Ancient Aliens” or chose to write a book I could gain a lot of fame and fortune but those Secrecy Agreements I signed would wind up putting me in jail, or worse. So why then should these Bozos be able to get away with it?
