I don't think that's how this works.

Could you explain?

Yeah, sure she did. This is retarded to anyone who has ever had a security clearance. The things lapse if you don’t use them anyway. The only reason for her to do this is to be in the headlines for this now rather than risk bad headlines down the road if the clearance were revoked.

Clinton actually looks good in orange.

This is getting good. Will all Clinton supporters with security clearances follow her lead and give up their security clearances?

No, she is just the wife of some guy who ran for president a long time ago

My gut tells me she just doesn't want to try to get it renewed because it would be lowered and she doesn't really need it at this point. I would think that a sectary of state kind of has an unspoken lifetime security clearance of sorts at least with anyone one the their side or the isle.

She's getting out in front of a story, her clearance was about to be revoked
[–] lanre ago
Honestly, probably not. But on the off chance that did happen, it'd look bad on her and she doesn't need it anyway, so this was the safe play.
[–] Frankenblock ago
I disagree on her not needing it
How can she sell us out without it?

how do those genius "journalists" come up with these misinformative headlines
