NO ONE outside the Govt. should have a security clearance! There are a MILLION out there...a MILLION!
I’m one of the stupid people who still think Q exists (a small team, not PDJT), so perhaps my analysis is bunk.
I hope and pray PDJT has allowed their clearance until now because he wanted to capture some treasonous/illegal activity, and has it now, and will revoke - and their arrogance is not allowing them to see this.
Nicely written. Humor makes the medicine go down easier.
You have these liberal fascists calling the president treasonous ( execute him!)on talking head TV and they STILL have security clearances?
Chut ‘em DOWN cabron!
All hitlery / obama people .... criminals patting each other on the back
There’s over a million people with ‘Top Secret’ clearance.
There are another three million with ‘Confidential/Secret’ clearance.
With that many people involved, there are no secrets, just a lot of stuff the government won’t confirm. Intel agencies create fake secrets to mix them up with real leaked secrets. That makes it just a guessing game to outsiders.
TAKE ACTION! CONTACT THE WHITE HOUSE NOW!
* Demand retired intelligence personnel are not given security clearances.
* Demand that FISA Warrants be declassified and made public with no redactions.

It seems this is a long standing practice.
Damn right they should. Remember Sandy Ber(gl)er? Stuffed the documents right down his pants. In government everyone gets one free sleep at the switch. BJ’s law license was suspended for 5 years. As if that was real punishment.
Hillary kept hers long after she was out of government, maybe still does.
I am in serious shock that anyone NOT currently filling a position in the government still has access to their security clearance and their classified networks.
I work in the DoD and once you have left the agency, all access is supposed to be cut off. How do these individuals still have their access?????
leave your employment in the real world and you are locked out of everything almost immediately.
nobody seems to be asking the perps why they think they should be allowed to continue to have security access.
Holding a clearance and having access are two separate things.
For a former high-level official, having the clearance after leaving may be necessary in order for the government to question them regarding some matter relating to their time in the office.
However, it is high time these twits get publicly stripped of their clearances.
No, they are supposed to lose the clearance. It should not be active. In cases where they are brought back, it is no real problem to reactivate the clearance, especially in the five year window. But once out of government service, they are NOT supposed to have a valid clearance.
Way past time.
The First Amendment gives you the right to relate information, not unfettered access to it.
Comey no longer has the clearance. love the corrupt media spin, they need the top secret clearance because they are often asked for advice.....let that sink in, yep, Trump is going to ask commie Brennan or the other looney CIA guy for advice.
Having a clearance and having access to classified information are two different things. The clearance means nothing if you don’t have the opportunity to use it.
Thank you for a civil and informative reply. When I got off of active duty, but was still in the Individual Ready Reserve, I remember being told my clearance would be in place, but inactive. In other words, it could be made active (and thereby I could be given access to classified data again) with a minimum of paperwork.
I think my quibble comes down to the active/inactive versus existing/revoked language. Revocation of a clearance, to my understanding, is a more serious matter than inactivation. The fact that the media doesn’t know this distinction, or simply wants to muddy the waters, is the real cause of debates like the one you and I are having.
