The access should be limited to what the current administration deems useful from each individual.

It is.

Clearance doesn't equate to access.

I’m not sure that it doesn’t provide denialability access to moles in the CIA to Brennan.

“Clearance doesn’t equate to access.”

That is how it should work. However, I would bet money that Clapper and Brennan have deep state proteges that feed them information.

Information should not only be limited to need to know, but limit access to certain individuals and prohibit all others from sharing data/information (not just classified).

This conversation has been going one for days this time. It's been explained by several former MI people. Still we see the same comments over and over.

I'm not going to bother trying again.

“Clearance doesn’t equate to access”

True, from a US perspective. But what if foreign governments (FivEy, NATO) were using the existing US clearance to extend a reciprocal foreign clearance and provide access? Including US sourced material shared under country-to-country agreements?

Things that make you go “hmmmmmm....”

The perception among the voters may be that they DO have access and therefore what they claim has some merit...when in reality there is no merit.
