It sounds to me like Brennan was the start button on the whack a mole game. Each and every one of them should get clearance revoked.

Yes. Just continue working down from Brennan. Should have been stripped as soon as Obama left office. I wonder what clearances Obama and Hillary have...

Talk about hubris. David Petraeus was one of the signers. I wonder if he still holds a security clearance.

Take their security clearances too.

A caller to the Levin show suggested that ex-intel officials often become lobbyists and make large sums of money basically by selling access to information.

Lose your clearance and you just might lose that fat consulting job. D.C. Area is full of ex government or military employees who join consulting firms upon completing service. Employees count on their skill, contacts still working within the government, and clearances to save time and money.

With the hatred that former Obama officials and other former intelligence officials have for Trump, is anyone else suspicious about all those leaks? No one should carry their security clearance after retirement. PERIOD.

Before President Trump they were handing out security clearances like free movie tickets. There are a lot of Deep State connected people who have no business with access to our national security secrets!

This should not be, why is this OK. Either this is a perk and were not aware of, or we should push for this to be changed soon. Appears lots of former position holders knew what Obama was doing and did nothing about it, so I do not see what the benefit is to the American people.
