Oh dear, rumor has it that POTUS just signed a bill that will yank security clearances for SES peeps. Waiting for sauce, sounds promising.

You mean an Executive Order?

I have never understood the entire anon issue with SES. Senior Executive Service (SES) is a legitimate rank for very senior civilians. There are also rank structures within SES, depending on the position of authority.

Cabinet Secretaries are another matter. Would people care to know that President Trump's chief of staff, Gen (ret) Kelly holds SES rank?

President Trump has other SES ranked individuals working directly for him. I worked for SES executives in the Pentagon, one who was a retired full Colonel, fighter pilot, and Purple Heart recipient.

Perhaps people are not understanding the term.

Are there Obama holdovers at that rank. Sure.

Are there Trump people at that rank? Absolutely.

Trump would not yank clearances for "SES peeps", but perhaps for certain individuals. But even then, I don't see how that would work. You either fire them, or you do not. They can't continue in their job without the security clearance.

People who leave government service, like the snake Brennan, still retain clearances - and Q spoke about this, and the connection to 5 Eyes to cover up any record of access to classified information.

Having one’s security clearance revoked is grounds for dismissal if one’s job or position requires a security clearance. BOOOOM!
