A lot of people go straight from retirement/resignation into a private sector job where they need the clearance. In many cases, it takes a lot of time to start the whole process over.
you retain TS active for 2 years after leaving.
5 years for Secret.
It does NOT mean you have ACCESS to TS or Secret information while it is not being used.
So unless these bozos need their clearances for a JOB, they have no right to access classified information and ANYONE passing them cleared info should be fired and prosecuted.

Let them start over....Let their new employer shoulder that burden.

All of the people mentioned should have had their clearance revoked permanently for their misdeeds in office.
Never should they be allowed such access again.
They all belong in prison at the least.
That should be their problem. It’s not up to the US govt to facilitate their move from the public to private sector. When they walk out the door it should automatically be removed.
If someone quits law enforcement, they turn in their badge. They may get it back later, but they don’t have it while they are not employed or retired. Why should this be any different?
