Because her access is limited to her own work product ...

You keep repeating the falsehood that her access is limited to her "own work product". Rice's work product are documents created by Rice. As it has been pointed out to you, she has had, and apparently will continue to have access to more than that, as listed in the memo.

But put that correction aside, because it is beside the point and I'm sure it will take your attention away from the point..

Repeating the same thing over and over again doesn't make her access expand in my mind.

I'm NOT saying that she will have access to more documents than she did before. I'm saying that she will have access to the same documents from this point forward without a need to know.

There is a reason why people with a security clearance lose access to classified documents once they no longer have a "Need to Know". There's a reason why they must prove a Need to Know and get permission, to get access back.

Having a Need to Know is a fundamental principle, when handling classified. McMaster has waived THAT requirement for Susan Rice.

And? This is still her work product, and is thus not the unlimited security clearance imagined by Breitbart or Circa. You are not contradicting me though you seem to be imagining something grander in this language than actually exists in reality.

I am not sure why you have this obsession with the phrase "Need to Know." There is literally no evidence that this is in any way improper. All it means is that she doesn't have to gain specific approval to her own work product when called up by congress. No one is going to be approving that stuff on a case by case basis just because it makes you happy. In either case, she has no access to what's going on in the White House, and only to what she herself already has her name on, whether she created it herself, or assessed, handled, and took responsibility for in some fashion.

There is no grand McMasters conspiracy here. This is just one lie of many told about McMasters, who is no saint mind you, but is not the devil Bannon wanted us to believe.
