Why is this even a thing? None of these people have a job that they would need security clearance for anyway.

let them dig a ditch around the prison they are in. The death penalty is too good for them.

In theory, they could be recalled to advise their old departments.

Well, in theory, they can be vetted for clearance all over again if that happens.

If I quit my job tomorrow, I don't get to keep the keys to the building.

Kind of aligns with this Trump tweet from earlier today doesn't it?

@realDonaldTrump
The Rigged Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on as the “originators and founders” of this scam continue to be fired and demoted for their corrupt and illegal activity. All credibility is gone from this terrible Hoax, and much more will be lost as it proceeds. No Collusion!

There's no reason for any of these people to have any clearance at this point

He's about as obsessive, though. And so public. At least Nixon had the common decency to keep his enemies list in a safe.

clearances expire a certain number of years after being granted, regardless of when the job requiring them ends

i had an active clearance for just over 5 years after i separated from active duty, even though my next job had no use for it whatsoever

Since when have either of these reasons registered as even a speed-bump when it comes to the US government?

The WAPO once called for Brennan to be fired for lying under oath about spying abuses against congress.

This is yet another example of an Iraq war intelligent dude once hated by anti-war left suddenly becoming white knight

the way you suggest doing it is something that'd hold up DOD work (and DOD contractor work) from getting done. those guys get their way in the govt of the US of A.
