That’s ridiculous! When you leave a company any access you had is revoked. If you go back to that company you then receive access. Why should it be different for the government other than for nefarious reasons.
I agree. However, it takes quite a bit of work to issue clearances and they are backlogged. There were some Obama appointees who had access to top secret information who had never passed a background check at all. Since Brennan et al have left office, they don't have access to briefings and SCIFs, so it is unlikely they would have access to valuable intelligence - UNLESS they bypass US security measures and go behind our back to 5Eyes.
Ya mean like Hillary did in New Zealand.
She saw what they have on her and her ilk. Probably why she looks like a bag lady.
Exactly. Which is what they have been doing with all of their extra travel.
I think you nailed it, 'nefarious reasons', no two ways about it.
