These intelligence freaks did the same thing with Saddam Hussein after their love affair with him was over

I wonder why the traitorous bastard hasn’t been stripped of his freedom.... or maybe even his life.

deep state types never lose their clearances. Regular people have them removed when they no longer need.

My only question is if these people have to go through regular PRs and poly's like normal people...and if so, how the hell do they survive them?

As for me, one of the happiest days in my life is when I was able to sign the debriefing section of the SF312 and give the damned thing up for good.

…should immediately surrender his clearances or have them forcefully lifted.

Those clearances don’t do him any good unless he also has a need to know classified info.

And wanting to sound good on TV isn’t a legitimate need.

He is still useful to the Deep State.

They make a lot of money from their security clearances. There should be a Son-of-Sam law for deep staters with clearances, that makes it impossible for them to profit from it.

Nope, not 'nuf said .. not yet.

Remember when Clapper didn't know what Aleppo was?

Now it's 'nuf said.

I may be wrong here, but didn’t President Trump revoke some of these retired lying bas**rds clearances? And did not the Dimjo Administration restore them?

Clapper is much more guilty of provable sedition than any of the Jan . 6 prisoners.

Simple answer, he is the puppet of the devils setting up their ‘great reset’.

That is something that I am confused by in the American system. When I left (Canadian) government work, ALL my clearances were immediately revoked. My oaths are still in effect, but I cannot enter any secure facility without escort, and would need vetting again to do my former job.

Even when in the secured position, I had to be re-authorized for the overall security check annually, certain areas every 3 months.

How can the US government NOT see an issue with allowing former staff to retain security ratings?

"How can the US government NOT see an issue with allowing former staff to retain security ratings?"

It's unbelievable.

When you're working in the agency your co-workers are watching over you in various ways. People know what you're working on and there is oversight.

Once you leave, there is no oversight. The questions are why would someone no longer employed in the agency have access to intelligence, what are they doing with this intelligence, and why does anyone believe this is a good idea?

I thought Brennan’s security clearance had been stripped already too.

Clapper is a laughingstock. Always has been.
