This is the technical piece but ignores reality. The reality is that these guys are given high side information all the time. Those that give it to them rationalize it by saying they occupied a position and still have a clearance. Also, leaving them in the system makes it very easy for them to get or retain access to people and places.
Let's not pretend 'need to know' is a great barrier. Manning proved that.
There needs to be a hard line - you leave, the clearance is gone. Period.
And this business about it lasting for 5 years is incorrect. The investigation gets renewed but the clearance doesn't automatically last. It can be suspended and cut at any time for any reason a commander or adjudicator feels is proper. (I realize you know this already)
We classify way too much stuff and we classify it way higher than it needs to go - this breeds complacency and leads people to rationalizing a loose approach to safeguarding the information. We also have too many people with clearances. This all contributes to the amount of leaks.
I don't disagree with anything you have written here, I'm simply saying that they are not receiving current classified material above board. I , of course, realize there are no doubt scum who are still providing them intel.
And you are dead on in your assesment of how we classify things . A perfect example of this is the FBI classifying the fact taht McCabe bought a $30K conference table and kept it from Congress. Give me a break, there is ony one reason to classify that and it sure doesn't have anything to do with national security.

Way too many people keep these clearances after govt work is done. And the number of contracting gigs, aside from instructors embedded within DoD or an agency, is ridiculous.
Totally agree mang.

It should be temp suspended until they get rehired into a position that allows it...

Isn't Valerie Jarrett and Susan Rice's clearance still active, too? Jarrett is holed up in Hussein's pad so they can communicate face-to-face and not be intercepted by the No Such Agency white hats.

Commey's card key still works at the FBI gym and Toastmasters meeting room.

Bingo. The IC’s are still slam full of Clapper and Brennans’ buddies and cohorts. They all still have the same goal of stopping Trump at all costs. To outright deny that these guys still have access to TS intel bc they don’t meet the “need to know” requirement, is laughable.
As we learned last week, Strzok failed an FBI polygraph test in January of 2016- which should have resulted, at a minimum, in a temporary loss of his TS clearance. But somehow, not only did he retain his TS clearance, he continued leading the most important FBI investigation in recent history- all of Hillary’s crimes, and after cleaning up for her, he then managed to land the top job again - for the faux Trump investigation.
