Retired admiral who oversaw bin Laden raid to Trump: ‘Revoke my security clearance as well’

Well that says it all.  Why the heck is he teaching?

@ConstitutionRose

He was hired because universities like the status of having famous names identified with them,but I seriously doubt he is teaching anything because he doesn't know anything unique. He's being paid for his name and his political connections.

Well, IMO it certainly enhances a professor's opinion(s)...having/using access to real time situations around the globe.

Knowledge is power.   

edit:  not advocating here.   I think all terminated/retired employees/appointees should have their access to any classified material not only denied, but a crime to attempt to even log on.

Well,even though HE doesn't know squat,he DOES know who to ask because they worked for him at one time or another.

Right...but there's a risk of being charged with passing on classified info for that individual.

Not really. Nobody at that level is ever going to face charges for anything more serious than drunk driving. "Professional courtesy"and all dat.

Not to mention they have as much dirt on the political class as the political class has on them. Mutual Assured Destruction.

I gotta nice idea.... How about it becomes policy that EVERYONE WHO IS NOT CURRENTLY EMPLOYED or SERVING AT THE PRESIDENT'S PLEASURE, have their security clearances revoked?

This means retired Admirals, ex-cabinet members, former Administration officials, former presidents and their staffs and any Alphabets who are fired, quit, impeached or retired? 

I think that is a swell idea.

I mean, how many of you still get the keys to the bar, executive board room and have full access to the data files at the company you no longer work for?

If your job does not require you to have a security clearance then you should not have a security
clearance. That's how it used to be and that's how it should be.

I say give the man what he wants.
