“So why not just do it?”
Yes! And while he’s at it, issue an Executive Order that revokes everyone’s security clearance when they leave government service. I had a SECRET clearance when I worked for a Military R&D contractor years ago. It went when I changed jobs. I got told during my exit interview that is was no longer active, and I was admonished to keep secret what I knew. So why do these top drawer a$$holes get to keep theirs? It would be a simple matter to “reactivate” someone’s clearance if there was a need to do so after they left the government.

Some pigs are more equal.
How else can you run a deep state shadow government.
