Almost one month after it was disclosed that former President Obama's National Security Adviser Susan Rice was unmasking members of President Trump’s team and other Americans, Trump’s own national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, sent an official letter giving her unfettered and continuing access to classified information and waiving her “need-to-know” requirement on anything she viewed or received during her tenure, Circa has confirmed.

Snowden didn’t have a clearance and stole/received stolen classified information.

If the letter is not a forgery, where’s the letterhead and file notes at the bottom, incl. cc: [Rice attny of record]?

It appears to say that she has access to only those files she herself “originated, reviewed, signed or received”. One could imagine anyone under criminal investigation would be allowed the same?

It does not say ‘unfettered’ access to anything and everything her little shriveled heart desires.

The authenticity of the letter needs to be confirmed in any case. The language seems a bit off for a Light General.

Haven’t read thru the thread, but this may tie in with the theory going around that Susan Rice is working with Trump.

Hard to fathom, I know, but it’s possible she’s been singing like a canary and has flipped.

Keep an open mind FReepers !

Anything she “received” while in office would include the fruits of unmasking as well as all political intel on the income Trump administration that the Obama administration was so busy gathering prior to the inauguration. (If she needed certain of this info to defend against criminal charges, there would be different procedures for that.)

Note: when McMasters was appointed, Bill Kristol, Lindsey Graham, and others of their I’ll lept for joy as is recorded in the press.

I have never forgotten who was overjoyed at McMasters’s appointment, as it should inform greatly on just who McMasters is.

I don’t disagree. I was talking only about clearance

You are correct access disappears as soon as they take your keys and badge and computer

Most usually you cannot get on site or in the building

The relevant part of Executive Order 13526 (boldface added):

Sec. 4.4. Access by Historical Researchers and Certain Former Government Personnel.

(a) The requirement in section 4.1(a)(3) of this order that access to classified information may be granted only to individuals who have a need-to-know the information may be waived for persons who:

(1) are engaged in historical research projects;
(2) previously have occupied senior policy-making positions to which they were appointed or designated by the President or the Vice President; or
(3) served as President or Vice President.
(b) Waivers under this section may be granted only if the agency head or senior agency official of the originating agency:

(1) determines in writing that access is consistent with the interest of the national security;
(2) takes appropriate steps to protect classified information from unauthorized disclosure or compromise, and ensures that the information is safeguarded in a manner consistent with this order; and
(3) limits the access granted to former Presidential appointees or designees and Vice Presidential appointees or designees to items that the person originated, reviewed, signed, or received while serving as a Presidential or Vice Presidential appointee or designee.

IOW, so that she can write her memoirs (and hopefully tangle herself up).

Why does someone that’s no longer an employee still have access at all?

It’s not fake news McMaster continued Rice’s access.
He needs to be perp walked out of the White House.
There is a coup going on with the help of some of the people who Trump put in power.

I just hope it’s not too late to stop.

As of July 21, Hillary and her top staffers still have theirs too.================================

“Hillary Clinton and her staffers still have active State Department security clearances, meaning they still have access to classified intelligence, according to Fox News’ Malia Zimmerman.”

Right now the announcement is the West Virginia governor is changing parties.

Firing McMaster would be a much better announcement.

"H.R. McMaster, sent an official letter giving her

Trump must not let this continue.
This Mc Master guy has got to go.
And all Clinton/Obama appointees removed from government.
The so called "Deep State" are but Obama/Clinton hold-overs
doing their best to keep the Democrats and their
pet poodle Barack Insane Obama running the government.
They can be defeated!
Just fire them all!
