A sitting President isn't supposed to be doing a lot of what he's doing. Are we holding him to the same standard? Why on Earth should Trump have clearance when he conducts his business in plain view of patrons of his private club?
Well - sometimes they have knowledge and info from past cases that may apply to present cases... or maybe they can advise younger agents...
That is why they typically kept their security clearance but this group of people made it well known they hate Trump and will not work with him, even working against him. So there is no reason for them to keep their security clearance.
I will be honest, I seriously thought that these guys lost their clearance when they left government. why that isn't SOP I don't understand. someone with a need to get clearance should be able to get it fairly quickly if they need it again but leave government leave "need to know"
and seriously we are currently giving "talking heads" on TV national security secrets? seriously? we are doing that?
There was one guy(can't remember his name) who was called back to work on a terrorist threat and worked for 6 months without pay.
They let them keep security clearance because of these things and when everyone is new in administration these people are occasionally brought back to help.
This is solely payback from Trump for those who disagree and speak out against HIM.
Sara also said Trump doesn't think they should benefit monetarily even though he and his entire family benefit loads.
Emoluments clause be dammed these days.
So then what's the point of having clearance? So we agree, revoke the clearance to coincide with their lack of access.
Perhaps they have it in case they need to consult. Former FBI high ranking officers have helped in the past (in a time when they were still respected by the WH admins), but now that we are in an era where they are treated like enemies of the State, this kind public humiliation is the new norm. Trump hates them, so why should this be a surprise?

Again, you are parroting liberal media.
That is why they typically kept their security clearance but this group of people made it well known they hate Trump and will not work with him, even working against him and going on national TV to undermine him. How can they work on the same team? So there is no reason for them to keep their security clearance.

I had a security clearance at my first job out of college at a "think tank" in DC. I only worked there a year then went on to work for state and local governments. About 10 years after I left the think tank, I needed to participate in meetings that required a security clearance and surprisingly mine was still active! Ffw another 10 years and again I needed the clearance; by this time it had lapsed and it took 6 weeks to get it re-activated. A colleague who had never had clearance was told it would take up to 9 months (this was just after 9-11).
Talk about someone who should have their security clearance revoked. Besides, he politicizes and tries to monetize EVERYTHING.
