frozenshock 08/15/18 3:17:11 PM #11:	darkjedilink posted... Why should anyone continue to have security clearance after they've left the job? Not sure it's absolutely necessary, but here's an explanation: https://news.clearancejobs.com/2018/07/23/can-the-white-house-revoke-the-clearances-of-former-government-officials/ Typically, senior government officials keep their security clearance eligibility when they leave office even if they are no longer government employees, said Evan Lesser, founder and president of ClearanceJobs. This is done to ensure continuity between administrations, allow former officials to consult government and industry on national security matters, and keep senior people readily available in the event of an emergency. While they may maintain their eligibility, their access to classified information remains on a need-to-know basis like everyone else. Ultimately, the president has the power to grant or revoke security clearances to whomever he chooses. When it comes to the security clearances of former officials, a clearance revocation would also be more likely to come through their agencies, or officials, versus a White House mandate. As former directors of the FBI and CIA, their respective agencies would be the authority to terminate a security clearance, noted Christopher Burgess, veteran CIA officer and a regular contributor to ClearanceJobs.com. As both the FBI and the CIA are agencies which fall under the control of the executive branch (the president), the request to the current directors of the FBI and CIA would be the mechanism by which I would expect the request to be made, as these individuals do have the ability to summarily terminate access and employment. --- I don't hate people, people hate me. <cite>frozenshock posted [p:906934416] in Dipshit Tr...
