“is all the security clearance and need-to-know that she needs.”
No. Frankly, I’m GLAD Hillary Clinton and Leon Panetta did NOT know all our classified. IF a Department Head needs to know, the President can authorize it - as could multiple people in the chain of command.
I can’t give you specifics because I had my mind wiped when I left the military. But...you do NOT know what you are talking about.
I must say that after reading your posts Inam relieved that you are no longer in government.
Thank you. My husband spends his days in a scif. Everything is compartmentalized. There is a reason for that. It should be obvious.
Every cabinet member gets a security clearance. But they do not go through the background checks that normal folks do. They get it because of their position.
Think about some of the past cabinet members. Nobody gets complete access and with good reason. THEY DON’T NEED IT to do their jobs. The education secretary does not need to know where our subs are. The agriculture secretary does not need to know about covert SEAL missions overseas.
Remember when Hillary, FLOTUS, got access to those covert files found on her bed in the WH? Blackmail!
You may like and trust this group of cabinet members, but can you say the same about others we’ve had or possibly will have?
It’s Need To Know for a reason.
