" As Trump stepped up his public and private attacks on Obama, some of the new President’s advisers thought that he should take the extraordinary step of denying Obama himself access to intelligence briefings that were made available to all of his living predecessors. Trump was told about the importance of keeping former Presidents, who frequently met with foreign leaders, informed. In the end, Trump decided not to exclude Obama, at the urging of McMaster."

McMaster is no longer in the White House.

It would have been OK with me to cut him out as long as Bush was cut out also and the next president does the same to Trump.

Which would be foolish. Ex presidents have done a TON of good things for our country.

Frankly, they need to put more of these former government officials’ security clearances into suspension when they retire. Active security clearance should still have a need to know only limitation - and need to know would not include so I can tell the press. That said, ex-presidents, would be an exception because they would probably still need to know for diplomatic reasons.

Since an email from disgraced FBI official Lisa Page mentioned POTUS wanted to know what they were all doing in their SpyGate plot, and she and Strzok worried the White House would take over their scheme, Obama might have more to worry about than losing a security clearance.

Nothing stopping them from building houses with Jimmy and anything any of these three do after the fact will over come the harm they have done.

Don’t have the job, don’t need the clearance.
