With the hatred that ‘former Obama’ officials and other ‘former intelligence’ officials have for Trump, is anyone else suspicious about all those leaks? No one should carry their security clearance after retirement. PERIOD.
My first clearance was cancelled when I was Honorably Discharged from the Corps.
My second one was cancelled when I quit working for JPL.
Rightfully so; I no longer had NEED to access any classified, secret, or top secret information.
The EXCUSE that they might need to be called back for any “institutional knowledge or information” that they had (it’s all carried in your head) is pure bull pucky, any one can be called back and asked questions about past practices, policies, actions, or procedures without having a clearance.
The people who are asking the questions just don’t go into current operations!
