#2 I leave an IT job I make sure i lose all access to systems (I tell them what passwords I know and request their change).

Why do people who are no longer employed get to keep access?

#4 No he is not. Get the pattern. He brought it up, people go off the deep end, then the question gets discussed. Should the ex head of the CIS who has decided to become a politician still have access to the highest level of classified documents, more so than the head of the intell committee in congress? A good question to discuss.

#5 Discussion: No. Why would a former employee need access, except to 'keep tabs' on the current administration? What's the difference between 'keep tabs' and sabotage?

#6 Ok, so there is a standard to it. In the past, the directors maintained their clearances so they could be brought in to advise on strategic issues they were working. It did serve a purpose. Now that the two agency directors have decided to enter politics they have the possibility to gain access to data, or influence their political agenda. In other words they have, in one fell swoop, bastardized a long standing policy and destroyed the integrity of the agency they represented. What I think now needs to happen is the agency develop a policy of restricting their clearances to an event usage. For example: To get them recleared once their clearance is downgraded, it can take months to turn back on. If they restrict their access, at the discretion of the new director, and for a topic specific to the requirement they can be quickly given access to the information. This can restrict dumbasses like we are dealing with now, and preserve the ability to work with past directors who are genuine.

#7 The question is why the f*ck Trump or his Admin would EVER ask these lying conniving traitorious Dem backstabbers for advice or background without a waterboard involved
