Hillary Clinton, Staffers Still Have Security Clearances, Access to ‘Sensitive Governmen
breitbart ^ | PENNY STARR

Hillary Clinton and her staff still have top security clearance and could access “sensitive government information,” months after she lost the presidential election and months into the President Donald Trump presidency. In the same report, Fox News said that this is the case even as the State Department has “opened a formal inquiry into whether former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her aides mishandled classified information while she was the nation’s top diplomat.”

“Despite being under investigation, Clinton and her staffers still have security clearances to access sensitive government information,” Fox News reported.

Fox News said Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, confirmed the renewed investigation, but the State Department would not comment on it when asked by Breitbart News.

The losers still have access even though their party would no let the FBI investigate the DNC hacking. Must be a lot to hide.

In a private company, all access is removed on the last day of employment. Pretty sure that’s the way it works at the state level, as well. It’s even more important to have that in place at the federal level, I would think, given that level of government is supposed to be responsible for national security.

Without clearances, they no longer have access to secret info to sell.

Without secret info to sell, they no longer have big wads of cash.

Without big wads of cash, they can't bribe government officials to hinder investigations.

So.. you see... they need those clearances or they could end up in prison.

How could they still have access?

Just where is the NEED TO KNOW?

“Fire whomever it is who’s job it is to yank clearances.”

I’m thinking the same outfit that grants them in the first place . . . FBI/formerly Comey

“She was a CANDIDATE, not an official, nor was her staff.”

And as a CANDIDATE, Hillary received CLASSIFIED BRIEFINGS in the run up to the election and I imagine, like Trump, she had staff cleared to review the information she received.
That said, like in a lot of other areas, Trump has seemingly been woefully slow to cut off his adversaries and weed out holdover RATs. And in areas like this, where there isn’t the specter of Senate “approval” hanging over the decision making, I am incensed that he hasn’t taken the necessary actions.

Her heinous clearance and her staffers should have ended at 1201 hours 9 November 2016.

Bingo! The clearance must be coupled with “Need to Know” to get access to the classified information. No Need to Know = no access.
