State Department to probe Hillary's....

handling of government e-mails and could per her security clearance.

I guess my question would be why does she still have a security clearance at all. As of now she is a private citizen doing no work on behalf of the government, and isn't a prospective candidate or government official.

Why does she even need one? What right to know or need to know classified information continues to exist?

Once you are out of the loop it is hard to maintain the cover up.

i'm sure to be over simplifying but

who amongst us has maintained their passwords and security clearances at their former employer?

Thank you!!

 

[COWBOYintheUK]

Thank you!!

I still have mine, it's not active, I can't walk back into NATO HQ, and get access to what I could when I worked in NATO, but I still have to go through an informal recertification every couple years

Had a secret in the army. I've not messed with it since I got out. It's long expired

Are you still affiliated with the military in any way?

If not, and are purely a private citizen, I would question why you have yours as well. Also, it is as you say...l"inactive".

Lock her up.

Great question. I wonder if we'll get any answers. What safeguards and accountability are in place to ensure a private citizen isn't spilling US secrets? Nobody saw any wrongdoing during her term as SOS. Is she back to having a server in her bathroom or does she have a .gov email now?

The way clearance works is that you are granted that clearance for a time frame and then renew it based on what kind of clearance you hold. The lower the clearance the longer between reapplication. When you leave the job you retain the clearance for it but it becomes inactive. If you then go back to work for another job that requires that clearance it can be reactivated. Many companies that have to have clearance, for example, Boeing look for people with this kind of status as it saves them money. Clearances are expensive.

That Bering said HC should have already had her innactive clearance revoked for all the security violations she had while holding office. However I have not read or heard of a politician ever having their clearance revoked. Maybe UK has but I have not.

Clearance is maintained for a time period, not just while in a specific role. In fact, it can be lucrative for some people once they get clearance levels to maintain it as it allows for easy transfering to other companies. Go look at Monster and you'll find a number of jobs with descriptions that state that security clearances are a plus. Getting someone a high-level security clearance is expensive to the employer, so they look for individuals who already have it.

The term I have usually heard has been "Suspended"..........as far as mine goes, inactive may not be the proper term, since I retired from the USAF, I have no need to have access to classified info, but because of the info I did have access too I am "monitored" and every few years I have to have a talk with DoD investigators ( actually they fall under the Dept of Transportation now I believe) and I have to keep them informed on where I live and have to get permission to visit certain countries and they do checks on me every so often to make sure I am being a good boy. , it kind of sucks, but as long as I don't do anything stupid its not a big deal

JD,

Don't forget, Michael Flynn still had security clearance, even though he had been removed from his job and was a "civilian" a couple of years before. (Now, they were supposed to re-investigate and go through the process again before he actually took office, but again he still had some level of clearance while he was on the campaign/transition team.)

I'd be willing to bet that Colin Powell, Condi Rice, John Kerry et al still have some type of "security clearance" even at this late date - probably Henry Kissinger as well.

 

[purkey]

it takes a clearance and a need to know so I doubt they get access to much. Well, in this day and age they may get whatever they want!! Mine went away quite a while ago. I'm sure things have changed but once you were discharged that was pretty much it. They may keep track to some degree now. Don't know for sure. Now, the level you're talking about is a whole other story. There is no telling what they do but I'm betting they keep track to some degree.

 

[CowboyJD]

Question answered...all around.

Thanks to all.
