There is a difference between clearance and access. You probably know this already but for the benefit of others reading the thread:
It is possible to have a clearance, and no access. Think of a soldier or officer who was just discharged. They still have their clearance for 2 years. At the end of two years it expires and must be reinstated before being granted access.
Access comes after clearance is granted and is based on need to know. A person can be cleared to TS/SCI but if they dont need access to “Presidential” to conduct their job, they wont be granted that access.
How this plays out for Brannon:
Because the clearance was revoked (worse than suspended and far worse than expired), Brannon will have difficulty finding any job that requires a security clearance as he will not only have to start over, but will have to over come the revocation. Not impossible, but difficult.
John Brennan will have significant people on the left lined up to hire him, he’s already been doing this and one of the reasons why his clearance is being revoked. The left won’t care they’ll use Brennan anyway.
