What information that is out there is sketchy. But, if Cook was fired because his job required him to have a security clearance, and that clearance was terminated (for whatever reason), Maj. Cook is SOL.
Who does or does not have a national security clearance is a responsibility that falls solely on the executive branch, and specifically to the Executive. It's not reviewable by either Congress or the Judiciary. Essentially, they can issue and retract security clearance at their pleasure.
At first blush, Cook wouldn't have any grounds for action with his employer, and he definitely wouldn't be able to sue (successfully) the Army for revoking his security clearance, if that indeed happened.

I don’t think that is correct with military security clearances. So I have pinged a list Freepers who have had or still had top secret clearances. Decades ago, I had a Top Secret Clearance, which was granted by the Navy.
Maybe some of the nice Freepers on this list can clarify us re who issues TS clearances.
When he was fired, Simtech had no indication that his clearances had been revoked. Thats in Taitz newest filing as well. Its worth reading!
