@@Eve-esdf1234 In Burdick v. United States, the Supreme Court addressed the case of a newspaper editor who declined to testify before a grand jury, invoking the Fifth Amendment, even after the president pardoned him. Burdick declined to accept the pardon, and he was held in contempt for refusing to testify. The question before the Supreme Court was what effect, if any, the unaccepted pardon had. The court ruled that a pardon becomes effective only if it is accepted. The court also compared immunity, granted by Congress, and a pardon, explaining that the differences are “substantial.” Unlike immunity, the court reasoned, a pardon “carries an imputation of guilt; acceptance a confession of it.”

@@safetychuck2 Hello. Yes I am aware of this case. I disagree with their ruling entirely.

@@normbale2757 Are you saying that someone can be prosecuted who committed no crime? Were you saying that about all the politically motivated charges against Trump? What about all the investigations that turned up nothing? Was that political persecution? Do you know the definition of hypocrisy?
Did you read the letter? They never claimed that it was in fact Russian misinformation. And not one single piece of information was found on that laptop that proved Jie biden or Hunter was involved in any influence peddling. The GOP did a thorough investigation and found nothing. Lol.
Even after retiring, the security clearance is still valid until the date for renewal comes up; which means that Milley could work for a defense contractor in a position needing a security clearance. So I think you a right to revoke his entirely.
@@m.w.wilson234 Retire Army SFC, MI You're incorrect. When you leave the Army, any clearance you have is gone. Nothing about any 'renew' date. Clearances are based on (wait for it...upcoming cliche) need to know. If you're going from one government job to another, your clearance is review and (depending upon the new government job) your clearance is updated. This update can include it being upgraded, downgraded, or removed. In my platoon I had a couple of troops that got out and went directly to NSA, even one to CIA. The NSA guys had to reapply/ NSA review their clearances...not sure about the guy that went into the CIA. I doubt this has change since I've retired. As for those getting out and going to work for a military contractor/corporation, then their previous clearance helps but the company needs to resubmit for their clearance.
They'll go to where all the top corrupt Deep State types go who helped the Democrat Party with its dirty work. They'll become highly paid talking head consultants on CNN, MSNBC, and ABC, and contributors to the NY Times, The Atlantic, Huffpost, and other woke Left media outlets.
@bert1450 it's always been a 'professional courtesy' to allow security clearance for previous intelligence officials. It's a way they can monetize their experience. When that privilege is abused, it should be revoked, permanently.
One wonders why their security clearances weren't canceled months ago when it was discovered that Hunters laptop was legit and that they "lied" deliberately. Still, this should all come out over the next few years.
EVERY person with a security clearance, NOT actively working for that department, should have their clearance revoked as soon as they leave said department. As soon as they walk out the door.
I was a Grumman Rep for 11 years. (F-14 program) the day I was laid off my Secret Clearance was null and void. How is it these retired people still have one? That rule in itself needs to change. If you need one for a private sector job, pay the money and get a contractor clearance or have the company you work for pay for it.
Excellent! A security clearance is an oath of trustworthyness and honesty. Signing that letter was an abandonment of that trust in the name of politics.
Yes in Australia, public servants have their clearance revoked when they leave the government department irrespective of why did they leave. This means that they cannot disclose sensitive information nor have access to it after leaving. If they do breach it there are consequences such as jail time. That what they should be doing in the USA. Politicians who lose their seat should have their access revoked.
@@andrewcorrell5000Same as in Denmark. You leave your present job for which you had a security clearence, it’s automatically revoked. If you are hired in another job afterwards requiring security clearence, you go through the process again.
It's about time all of those corrupt officials lose their security clearance. Also, all the top officials in the FBI who knew that the Hunter laptop was real and not Russian disinformation should be fired.
I'm guessing there are several thousand people around D.C. who should have their clearances revoked. If they're retired from government they no longer have a need to know.
Security clearances should be revoked and a lifetime non-disclosure order must be a standard operating procedure when ANYONE leaves a job that had required one. That includes all the generals and whoever, great or small.
This should be standard. How long after your tenure has ended do you need to continue to have access to classified materials? It seems to me that many of these people try and exploit their position as someone who holds a clearance to try and use it to validate the takes they give on the media circuit.
Smart. Many may be fully retired but many may still be working as intelligence contractors or consultants. They might be pardoned from any Federal prosecution but cutting off their income is a good start for justice.
This piece erroneously states that the security clearances are largely symbolic. Those out of government bank on their clearances while working for contractors, think tanks, and news media. Clearances should be revoked once out of government service automatically. One should have to apply for reinstatement if a clearance is needed and only a level of clearance required for a particular job.
