Well, you can add Levin to the list of “bellowing.” and I don’t think he is ignorant—Not sure of your credentials, but like him or not Levin is a Constitutional scholar and did work in Dept. of Justice.
For most positions in industry, when you leave, your access ceases. You leave your keys, badge, the laptop and company phone with the company, and you lose email access.
People in sensitive areas are often escorted out the door as soon as they give notice—leaving the company laptop with the company, etc....
Therefore I don’t think that is unreasonable to expect the same be required by government employees—especially hostile ones.
You are defending this based on an Obama EO...If that EO is still in place, Trump needs to rescind it immediately!!!
Forrest McDonald is a Constitutional scholar. Bernard Bailyn is a Constitutional scholar. You think Levin is one because you haven’t read people who are.
Evidently Mark the Bellowing Scholar didn’t bother to inform his listeners of EO 13526 4.4 “Access by Historical Researchers and Certain Former Government Personnel.”
That EO hasn’t been rescinded. Rice qualifies for access to her old papers under that EO. Is she under indictment? No. So what reason do you suggest we give for denying her access to her old papers? Because she’s icky?
