A colleague who had never had clearance was told it would take up to 9 months (this was just after 9-11).
They can appeal if they want.

You must have had a lower level security clearance. At least not at the level of these people.

As I recall, security clearances can be active, current, or expired. A current clearance can be reinstated as needed. Having an active or current clearance does not mean that the person holding it has access to classified materials.

This has never been an issue until now. We have never had agents intelligence personnel behave like this - at least in this generation. They are bad apples. The problems are not systemic.

I'm not ready to overturn the system because of these people.

Talk about someone who should have their security clearance revoked. Besides, he politicizes and tries to monetize EVERYTHING.

The Washington Post grants access to four free articles per month. As an aside, The NY Times offers ten.

Gee, bash the source. How original . Let me know which media source Trump wants you to direct your rage at next week (monetizing/picking winners and losers. How Presidential).

For your delicate eyes a different source;

I deleted my post because I thought it was a sure thing and I was very pleased. Can't wait to find out it's a done deal!

If I am not mistaken, some jobs require security clearance, so if it is revoked, then it would be impossible to apply for such jobs. Maybe that is Trumps goal (making sure they can't find a job).

Interesting mr obama removed high ranking military for saying negative things about his leadership but all and any employee discipline is an outrage for current occupant of the White House
Why do I get the feeling the current residents of USA don’t believe in democracy
