    Hillary Clinton loses security clearance after server scandal

    Hillary Clinton has given up her security clearance in the wake of the scandal over her handling of secret information on her email server, the Senate Judiciary Committee revealed Friday.

    Chairman Charles E. Grassley also revealed top Clinton aide Cheryl Mills and four others no longer have clearance.


    Mrs. Clinton
    ’s clearance expired at the end of August. The others lost their access privileges in September.


    The State Department, in a letter to Mr. Grassley, had said Mrs. Clinton and her aides retained clearance in order to conduct research after she left office.


    The names of the four additional aides besides Ms. Mills were redacted from the State Department letter that the committee released.

    HRC and her top aides should have had their security clearances revoked by the Obama administration as soon as Comey announced she was "extremely careless" with classified information.
    It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    Exactly. That is what would have happened to any other federal employee or contractor.

    And any federal employee or contractor would be put in prison.

    Why did she still have a security clearance?

    True after found guilty in court. However, the security clearance would be yanked on day 1 of the discovery of the crime. It is extremely easy to yank a security clearance for cause- so if a federal position requires a clearance it is an easy way to essentially fire a fed. Not so much for contractors, because they can shift an employee to a position in the company that does not require a clearance (if they like you.)

    The article said it was so she could do research. I don't find that reason to be satisfactory even had she not had her own private server with China getting copies of everything flowing in and out of it.

    She is jumping out ahead of the game. She knows they were coming for her security clearance. Good that they pulled Mills and 4 others not named.


    Although, it was interesting to note that the State Dept was complying with an EO that was a request for Hillary to have those people accepted as researchers. Despite Mills and Abedin being her Top Aides.
