...there are different levels of security clearance...and though it can be canceled with a stroke of a pen, gaining security clearance takes time.
...you could/should have stopped right there...please explain how it is "a benefit". ...most citizens don't get drafted either...but using your logic, getting drafted is a "benefit".
...hopefully, you nor I get the clap either...but I wouldn't call it "a benefit" if we did. ...you are really grasping at straws at this point.
...Sigh...if someone is summoned for advice on a crisis or to go before the Senate/House, they typically have to have clearance...if they don't have said clearance they'd have to wait until the do. ...does this really need explaining?
We shouldn't have to rely on people not actively in the government for advice on how to handle a situation. Especially people that suck at their job. The Systems should be in place to prevent such a reliance.
Where is the explanation? How does one benefit from it when one is no longer paid for doing a secure job? I suppose you might view it as a benefit that a person could brag about their clearance at a party or request a better seat at a restaurant but even that would be quite a stretch. It certainly doesn't increase someone's retirement pay. It doesn't get them an account at the Congressional cafeteria. No, I know of no benefit. I guess someone somewhere might think it a benefit to get to testify in a closed hearing. Or perhaps the free coffee and donuts are a benefit in giving advise on a sensitive matter concerning the government of the United States. Is that a benefit?
Apparently, those in power past and present disagree with you. Should they disregard past behavior and start heeding your advice.
If it's not a burden then should we consider it a benefit? The Andromeda galaxy is many light years away so it's certainly no burden, does that make it a benefit?
What swamp? Do you mean you and your appointees could do a better job of running the government than those trained to do so? You and your followers must be geniuses.
Well, I'm gonna disagree and say that the revoking of the Director's clearance was solely intended as a slap in the face. And now Trump is gonna get two slaps in the face, one this November and another exactly two years after this November.
You slap people in the face when they get out of line, which Brennan clearly is. Gotta go down the list of people who deserve to get it yanked. And he is former director.
