Will Trump Be Able to Get a Security Clearance After He Wins the Presidency

[SixFoot]

This just goes to show that it takes a scientist of the most classified kind on a random web forum to ask the really tough questions about the most obvious answers.

completely separate issue. The President is not issued a clearance, he doesn’t apply for one, he doesn’t need one. The Presidency “is” one.

The question SHOULD be, will anyone involved in the Russian Hoax, the weaponization of the judicial system, or pressuring media to ban legitimate posters be allowed to retain their security clearances.

Your logic is undeniable.

The Executive branch, not congress, or the courts is the source of authority on security clearances and classified materials. Security clearances and classified material designation levels exist because of Presidential Executive Orders. The only thing congress did was make violating the safeguarding and handling procedures a crime. I realize that your scientific mind may have trouble wrapping it’s self around the concept of ECs, delegated authority and the fact that the President doesn’t surrender authority when he delegates it, but rather simply authorizes subordinate appointees and executive department employees to act on his behalf with the authority delegated. What is even harder for you to wrap your mind around is that the President is not bound by his EOs, as they are his fiats, to be changed, or ignored, as he sees fit.

@thinkingman

if the Democrats did not control already, the “narrative“ people would realize what an idiot Joe Biden is,

If the Democrats controlled the “narrative” Joe Biden would not be around 37% approval.

no he’d be around 15%

Anybody ever figure out who outranks the President on giving him a security clearance?

Spill it, folks, who is this shadowy figure behind the scenes telling the President what he can and cannot see?

It rests with a series of agencies that grant clearances.

The same being that tells Biden he will get in trouble for taking questions when he isn’t supposed to?

No it isn’t. It rests with a series of agencies that grant clearances.

Those agencies are granted that authority through executive order.

Take a guess who write EOs.

A vindictive Trump could “fix” that within minutes of being sworn in with little more than pen and paper.

…and I sure hope he does. The future of our country depends on that.

It’s like actually winning the election isn’t an option.

It just tells you they’re constantly looking to see if ther is ANY way to trip him up.
It means they’re terrifyed of the idea of Trump back in the office.

[Camp]

Terrified of Trump and Crooked with every move they make.

[DougBH]

@Camp

Terrified of Trump and Crooked with every move they make.

Bringing indictments against Trump was sort of a Rubicon for the Democrats. At this point, they are probably considering the reaction of a President Trump to that. They have declared him out of the norm and an outlaw, and that tactic has failed.

[Camp]

Still a long way to go until November.

Trumps greatest revenge will be success if he can stay healthy.

I worry only for his health, not these frivolous lawsuits.

I don’t, this isn’t the time for vengeance, it’s the time for correcting the tragic coarse that imbecile Biden has put us on.

IMO…it’s not a matter of vengeance…it’s a matter of removing those in authority of those way up high, that helped place us on this tragic course. If it isn’t addressed, this will continue to reoccur. Comey letting Hillary off the hook in 2016 was the first time I blatantly saw that our country had “derailed” at the highest levels of our government agencies.
