W.H. looks to scrub clearance list
This is sort of interesting...
“I ask that agency heads… conduct a comprehensive review validating that each government employee or contractor who has been granted a security clearance continues to require such eligibility for access to classified national security information in support of their current position or your agency’s mission,” Clapper wrote. “Agencies should debrief all government and contractor personnel who no longer require such access and update the appropriate national security database or repository.”
Is Brennan in need of a security clearance in support of his current position? A private citizen?
This is also interesting
Trump-supporting Pentagon analyst stripped of security clearance after Stefan Halper complaints
Adam Lovinger, Pentagon analyst, lost security clearance after Stefan Halper complaints
So are these Federal Court rulings that say the President has ultimate authority over security clearances
Thomas E. Egan, Petitioner, v. Department of the Navy, Respondent, 802 F.2d 1563 (Fed. Cir. 1986)
The protection of classified information is an executive responsibility flowing from the President's constitutional mandate to provide for the national defense. U.S. Const., Art. II, Sec. 2.
t is the constitutional duty of the Executive--as a matter of sovereign prerogative and not as a matter of law as the courts know law--through the promulgation and enforcement of executive regulations, to protect the confidentiality necessary to carry out its responsibility in the fields of international relations and national defense.

Looks like the whiners had better change the Constitution.
