I know there’s no family connection for security clearance. My husband has had T.S. for 30+ years; that doesn’t mean I do. (It also means that we never have discussions about work!) I believe Holly P. does have a government position, too, and it’s possible that it comes with a clearance similar to her husband’s. Possible.

BTW, I have a “need to know” what happened in Benghazi! We all do.

Would you believe Holly took Fauxchahontas’ gov’t $186,000 job-—something to do with military families...could be the program that helped Michelle with military. *snicker*

I have had a TS clearance and beyond. Even with such clearances, you don't have access to all classified information, but you must have a "need to know" to have access to such classified information.

Holly P's position with a federal consumer agency would not warrant security clearences similar to those held by the CIA Director.
