President Trump revoked the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan last week after ordering a review of nine people — one current and eight former officials — who he considers political adversaries.
One name not on the publicly announced list: former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic candidate whose campaign was plagued by an FBI investigation into her mishandling of classified information.
Many former officials retain security clearances, but the status of Clinton's clearance is not publicly known, despite being subject to intense debate, including bicameral legislation seeking to revoke her access.

ITEM--Blumenthal was engaged in massive conflicts of interest since he was simultaneously (a) being paid by The Clinton Foundation, (b) paid by Hillary's 2016 PAC organizers, and, (3) paid by businesses w/ interests in Libya.
If Secy Clinton knew all that, then her actions in circulating memos composed by Blumenthal were egregious. If she did not know, her recklessness is subject to US laws.
=====================================================
ITEM---to its donors---and to the world beyond---the Clinton Foundation hired Sid Blumenthal to..... (wait for it)..... "promote Bill's presidential legacy." That's what Sid was supposed to be doing for his hefty $325,000 foundation salary.
ITEM---so if the Clinton Foundation Board of Trustees signed off on the Blumenthal hire without being appraised of the full scope of his duties....that would violate state laws and place the trustees in legal jeopardy.
==============================================
REFERENCES--- The implications of these Blumenthal revelations are huge, as the Washington Free Beacon points out:
<><> Among the newly revealed Benghazi e-mails were a pair of messages from July 2011 in which Blumenthal described efforts to secure Libyan government contracts for Osprey Global Solutions, a company in which Blumenthal has admitted to having a financial interest.
<><>Blumenthal warned Clinton that French companies were looking to scoop up security contracts from the Transitional National Council, the revolutionary government of the Libyan resistance, and plugged Osprey’s ability to be an American counterweight.
<><> “It puts Americans in a central role without being direct battle combatants,” Blumenthal wrote of Osprey’s TNC contract. He described his efforts in “putting this arrangement together through a series of connections, linking the Libyans to Osprey and keeping it moving.”
<><> Clinton forwarded that message to Jake Sullivan, her deputy chief of staff, and asked to discuss it later.
======================================
SHOCKER Clinton Foundation employee Sid Blumenthal (banned from govt employ) had inside govt info and was constantly in touch w/ Secy Hillary.
<><> For public consumption, Sid was beng touted as a Clinton Foundation hire---the factotum hired to preserve Bill's pesidential legacy (cue laugh machine).
<><> Shockingly, Sid's emails show he had classified State Dept info almost verbatim (as confirmed by the NSA).
<><> How did classified info get into Sid's possession? Did he pass it on to anyone else? Did he sell it to anyone else?
============================================
Blumenthal kept urging Hillary to bomb Libya b/c he had profit-making business interests predicated on a post-Khadaffi Libyan govt.
<><> Sid cunningly used scare tactics----telling Hillary that Obama would lose reelection if the US didn't bomb Libya.
Amazingly, the obedient Hillary passed on this information to Obama.....did O know it came from a person he banned from govt employment?
==========================================
Remember, the real Libyan scandal is how we wound up bombing the troops of another United Nation's recognized government without a ‘by your leave’ from Congress. ////// The House Select Committee on Benghazi started asking questions after a hacker unveiled Clinton’s e-mails with
Sid Blumenthal. Some e-mails related to the 2012 Benghazi attack, yet had never been handed over to investigators.
The ever-vigilant Judicial Watch has tracked this unpleasant man – “Sid Vicious” — over the years:
<><>(A) How Hillary Clinton relied on him in defiance of President Obama;
<><>(B) how he and Hillary emailed obsessively during her State Dept tenure;
<><>(C) how she originally wanted him to be a high-ranking adviser.
<><> (D) how he availed himself of State Dept slush funds;
<><> (E) yet, all the while Sid was an employee of the Clinton Foundation.
AND THERE'S MORE---MUCH MORE---ABOUT THIS INDIVIDUAL'S MARAUDING ACTIVITIES

Never mind once being a Senator or Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton may hold a security clearance simply by virtue of being a former First Lady. I would guess all spouses of former presidents have security clearances.
Huma Abedin, a top aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, routed sensitive information through Yahoo multiple times.
Huma Abedin forwarded sensitive State Department emails, including passwords to government systems, to her personal Yahoo email account before every single Yahoo account was hacked, a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of emails released as part of a lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch shows. Abedin, the top aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, used her insecure personal email provider to conduct sensitive work.
This guarantees that an account with high-level correspondence in Clinton’s State Department was affected by one or more of a series of breaches—at least one of which was perpetrated by a “state-sponsored actor.”
The U.S. later charged Russian intelligence agent Igor Sushchin with hacking 500 million Yahoo email accounts. The initial hack occurred in 2014 and allowed his associates to access accounts into 2015 and 2016 by using forged cookies. Sushchin also worked for the Russian investment bank Renaissance Capital, which paid former President Bill Clinton $500,000 for a June 2010 speech in Moscow.
A separate hack in 2013 compromised 3 billion accounts across multiple Yahoo properties, and the culprit is still unclear. “All Yahoo user accounts were affected by the August 2013 theft,” the company said in a statement. Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, regularly forwarded work emails to her personal humamabedin@yahoo.com address. “She would use these accounts if her [State] account was down or if she needed to print an email or document. Abedin further explained that it was difficult to print from the DoS system so she routinely forwarded emails to her non-DoS accounts so she could more easily print,” an FBI report says.
Abedin sent passwords for her government laptop to her Yahoo account on Aug. 24, 2009, an email released by the State Department in September shows. Long-time Clinton confidante Sid Blumenthal sent Clinton an email in July 2009 with the subject line: “Important. Not for circulation. You only. Sid.” The email began “CONFIDENTIAL … Re: Moscow Summit.” Abedin forwarded the email to her Yahoo address, potentially making it visible to hackers.
The email was deemed too sensitive by the government to release to the public and was redacted before being published pursuant to the Judicial Watch lawsuit. The released copy says: “Classified by DAS/ A/GIS, DoS on 10/30/2015 Class: Confidential.” The unredacted portion reads: “I have heard authoritatively from Bill Drozdiak, who is in Berlin. … We should expect that the Germans and Russians will now cut their own separate deals on energy, regional security, etc.” —SNIP—
None of it matters. Hillary, et al, could cut a living baby out of its mother’s womb, and eat it on live t.v., and NOTHING would be done.
SURPRISE: Clinton, Huma, ValJar, Susan Rice and all of Hillary’s personal servants, even Bill and Chelsea, could still be on the govt payroll.
We need to see the correspondence, emails, snail mails, hard drives, wire-transfers, text files, offshore banking activity, and the like.
ITEM——Demand to see govt reports of all tax dollars outlay to Clinton’s team and to Obama’s White House Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett, and everyone employed in these offices.
ITEM-—DEMAND CONGRESS SEND YOU ALL AVAILABLE GOVT
INFORMATION specifically govt vouchers submitted by Susan Rice, Huma, Cheryl Mills, and Valerie Jarrett for tax dollars, including:.
<><> credit cards,
<><> gift cards,
<><> cell phone/landline bills,
<><> electronic/wire transfers,
<><> detailed expense accounts,
<><> transportation expenses
<><> office expenses
<><> office equipment expenses
<><> office supplies,
<><> unusual stamp purchases (a classic govt corruption MO)
<><> housing allotments,
<><> clothing allotments,
<><> entertainment including alco
<><> household help,
<><> reimbursements for varied business interests.
ITEM-—TAXPAYERS DEMAND TO KNOW WHO IN THE Clinton/OBAMA CIRCLE are CASHING GOVT PAYCHECKS, WHO IS GETTING GOVT PENSIONS, AND WHO IS STILL ON THE GOVT PAYROLL.
It’s an old trick politicians use-—hand-picking people and putting them on several govt payrolls. Long after you think they’re gone, they’re still cashing in.

This is the epitome of ridiculous hyprocrisy. Pull her clearance.................................... Can’t do that, we are now a nation with a dual presidency. To half of the nation, she is their President. Ask the MSM they’ll admit it. As soon a Trump is removed and hung, she will take as President for life.
Of course she does as does Bill. There are 5 MILLION out there. These should be revoked and reinstituted on a need to know basis after reexamination of their fitness.
Hmmm, would Hillary Clinton pass an extended background investigation if it were initiated today?
We are now Rome. It is a matter of time.
All, I say All government employees who have left government should lose their clearances period!!!
Ya and that is why IMHO she went to what was it AU or NZ a bit ago since they are 5-eyes members my guess is she is using their intel, I would not put anything past her...
A significant number of government employees should lose their citizenship and be exiled for life.
Human probably does not have a security clearance and if so for her to handle any secret information is a felony, is it not?.
This begs the question - did Hillary and Bill ever get a security clearance?
If not, then that would explain why they all were so stupid (and nefarious) when it came to handling secrets.
My son-in-law has a top clearance. He said that in order to access secret information he has to go to a certain computer which every knows is solely intended for top secret stuff.
NO ONE HANDLES ANY SECRET STUFF ON THEIR OWN PERSONAL COMPUTER.
There are several levels of "security". I'd expect a SoS to have access to the higher levels—especially under Obama.
