Full title.......................Former Special Ops Official Shocked White House Isnt Considering Stripping Hillary Clintons Security Clearance.................
Two retired colonels say former Secretary of State and failed 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton should have had her security clearance pulled. One, retired Col. James Williamson, was surprised Clinton was not included in the White Houses announcement that it was considering revoking six former national security officials security clearances. The colonels organization, OPSEC, twice asked then-Secretary of State John Kerry in 2015 to suspend the security clearances of Hillary Clinton and her aides, Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin, and Jacob Sullivan.

It continues to be obvious that CRIME PAYS in Washington, DC.
I think it probably has been pulled already.
I’m a former intelligence official and I wonder the same thing.
Given that people like Brennan, Clinton, etc had security clearances, aren’t there levels of what you’d be able to see?
For example, Brennan would forseeably have a high level of clearance because he was CIA Director and Clinton would foreseeably have a high level of clearance because of her State Department position.
But wouldn’t or shouldn’t there be a limit to what either could view? In other words, there’d be some compartmentalization in that Clinton wouldn’t be able to see certain files because they weren’t relevant to her.
Just wondering...
Stripping Hillary?
What a horrible vision!
A question: It's been stated, and is my understanding, that both clearance and a need to know are necessary for access to classified information. My question is, how much access are people like Brennan, Hillary, Clapper, etc., afforded now? If any, how much? And how large is this privileged group that gets access without a demonstrated need to know?
It seems like such a special group would be known and enumerated by list.
They get to keep it for 5 years. She is past the 5 years but I heard on Fox they can renew it. She doesn’t need a security clearance. She still is probably getting info from the Awan brothers and those dem computers.
I am currently unofficially intelligent, and I would have yanked her security clearance so hard shed have a pantsuit wedgie.
Well thanks for that thought! LOL!
Every single Obama admin associated person still holding a clearance should have been stripped thereof on Day One . Certainly now....INCLUDING Barack Jerkoff Obama .
LOL!
“...and I would have yanked her security clearance so hard shed have a pantsuit wedgie.”
That horrible vision of a pantsuit wedgie has pretty much ruined my afternoon.
Where’s she gonna get classified information these days, from the squirrels on her walks in the woods or out of a scotch bottle?
LOL, I was hoping you would demonstrate your table cloth magic and pull it off her without disturbing the table setting.
I ask this because she spent the better part of her time in the White House repelling every effort to let the agents responsible for securing those clearances to do their jobs. Almost all of the people who worked with her between 1993 to 2000 did not have security clearances.
One roadblock after another and even Huma never got a security clearance when she was working with her at State. Hillary crowed bigtime in how inventive she was in making up excuses to the agent why Huma could not meet with him.
I think this question needs to be answered.
If I am correct, then she should have not handled ANY top secret documents at any time whatsoever.
We should not take it for granted that she has a bonafide security clearance.
What then do you say to the argument I see here from some on FR, which is: Pulling clearances from ex-high level officials only will hamstring the government agencies who may need their expertise, or the private firms they go to work for. It will grind down our bureaucracy and defense industries as everyone will then constantly be doing new security clearances. Also, clearance and "access" to info should not be confused. All these ex-high deep-state officials don't have access anymore anyway.
Additionally, there is a cost factor maintaining a security clearance for each individual. At least that's what I was told when I was debriefed from TS (because I didn't need it), only to be rebriefed 18 months later when I needed it again.
Also, we were subject to re-investigations and possible polygraphs after a period of time in order to maintain our clearances. What about Hillary and gang?
It is unbelievable that hillary still is cleared. Same for hussein, if he is.
I have to agree..... Shocked. Why does this woman have a Security Clearance?
If a junior decon technician at the most remote nuclear plant was ever accused of busting up a motel room and ruining furniture, . etc., . let alone selling Uranium ore(s) to the Soviets, funding false documents, mishandling classified information, refusing to help our overseas embassy along with the Benghazi event. .. etc., Their Clearance would be REVOKED within a matter of HOURS!
What in God’s GREEN EARTH is Wrong with the DC Security people???
