re: The entire “clearance issue” could be an excellent learning opportunity

For God sakes, having a clearance does NOT mean you are able to view classified material. it merely means if someone determines you have a need to know, you are authorized to receive it. PERIOD.
Do yall really think that having a security clearance means you can just head on to your local government building and demand to see anything that is classified?
And yes, the argument that some of his allies in government now were authorizing him to see classified material is valid, BUT that could have been countermanded by Trump "don't let Clapper see any classified intel" and his clearance is irrelevant.
Trump and Clapper both made a big deal out of nothing here, and the media went along with it

This is correct at "our" level but guys like Brennan, Clapper, etc. at that level its a entirely different game; they see and know virtually everything (99% of the time bc their jobs dictate they have a need to know). The exceptions are "plausible deniability" shite.
