  1. I would think that equating security clearance, with Freedom of Speech, would raise some alarms?

  2. Thats the media's skin in the game, for sure.

  3. +Todd Jenkins A) its an Executive Power, not an 'abuse of power' B) High security clearances are only approved for someone's explicit utility. Of what value, exactly, is his clearance and to whom? Thats the question youd ask, if you had any intellectual integrity. P.S. Ive held everything up to TS/SCI and never kept a high clearance when I left the assignment. Ive maintained lower level clearances and rating for upgrade. You dont need an active clearance for the applications being cited as an excuse for him to keep his. You are always cleared to discuss intelligence you worked, while cleared. That is, he requires no active clearances to go in and talk with the current gvt, about his past work for the gvt. Without an active or 'Special' clearance, he is restricted from new intel. But again irrelevant, because you can be granted daily and or Special Access clearances, in a matter of minutes. TL;DR There is no legitimate reason for him to maintain a high clearance, in 'retirement'. Its all about the 'boys club' and staying on the inside.

  4. +Sean Dring You have absolutely no idea how security clearances work. You should stop posting about it, until you do.

  5. +Paul Scott Uh, that is the point... as in, how exactly is it 'punishing', or 'silencing' him, unless he is misusing his clearance to leak? You cant have it both ways. You dont seem to understand that a Top Secret security clearance is literally the OPPOSITE of Freedom of Speech.
