What reason is there for any former federal employee to keep their security clearance?
This seems like Trump being petulant though. Biden did it to him and now he wants revenge.
Really? You think the President of the United States of America and Commander in Chief of US Armed Forces is like any other "former federal employee?"
That's on par with most of your hypothetical nonsense -- something you rag on others for doing.
Is it not reasonable to assume the former presidents may have information, contacts and advice the next president should consider before making decisions that impact national security and foreign relations? It's exactly why former presidents not only retain a clearance, but also receive classified national security updates daily -- to keep abreast of the current situation and offer advice when they feel it's appropriate and needed.
You are so opinionated. Too bad you are not at least as well informed.
Trump is doing what the DOJ, Congress or someone else should have done when it it was obvious Joe became incompetent, was storing classified documents for many years out in the open, and has family doing business with Russian and Chinese entities. If any other federal employee were to have his resume, they would have had a very low possibility of being granted a clearance to the level the President is granted. In fact, the reason Biden has a top security clearance is because he was VP and President, not because he was the most trustworthy person in government. Look at former Secretary of State Clinton. She had classified all over her illegal server. Her clearance should have been revoked, but the Dems don't care about their own crimes. That's why it takes someone like Trump to do what's proper. Revenge? Please!!
