Quote:The State Department has opened a formal inquiry into whether former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her aides mishandled classified information while she was the nation’s top diplomat, Fox News has learned. Despite being under investigation, Clinton and her staffers still have security clearances to access sensitive government information.
The department’s investigation aims to determine whether Clinton and her closest aides violated government protocols by using her private server to receive, hold and transmit classified and top-secret government documents. The department declined to say when its inquiry began, but it follows the conclusion of the FBI’s probe into the matter, which did not result in any actions being taken against Clinton or any of her aides.
Depending on the outcome of the current State Department inquiry, Clinton and her aides could have their access to sensitive government documents terminated.

Buckle up?
Something that should have happened years ago. Its sad that it took draining of the swamp to get it started.
I'm wondering why her and her aides still have security clearance. Isn't she a private citizen now?

Its so that deep state can pass her information, and not get busted for disseminating classified material to those without clearances.

Not true. I believe you keep a clearance for 5 years after your last reup. Just because she has one doesn't mean she's been in a place to use it. She's been debriefed but they don't just magically go away.

TS Clearances are good for 5 years. If she has done any consulting work since resigning from SoS, she would have needed it.
Why does she still need a security clearance?
If you have it revoked, does it make it near impossible to get it again? If so, that would exclude her from holding high office again at the least.

Not necessarily. The President doesn't have a security clearance. They don't need one...they get to see everything.
This has something to do with Trump and the draining of the swamp? He already said he want's his friend left alone.

The law states that you can not hold high office where it is required.
President gets clearance for everything by virtue of us voting for them.
We could elected Gary Busey and the NSA, CIA and every other agency would be obliged to give him everything on Roswell, the Kennedy assassination, 9/11 and his own mysterious "accident".

Exactly. And she proved over and over that even while she was in the employ of the Federal Gub that she shouldn't have had one. This is nuts.
