lmao what a petty spiteful person, not like Biden even remembers what the CIA is anyway

Funniest part is Joe did the same thing to Donnie in 2020

Well he had good reason to. It was an unprecedented move for an unprecedented president who was a clear security risk.

Ngl I kinda feel like that should happen automatically?

If it was a real cleared job they would.

Right? Don’t security clearances need to be re-upped regularly and get revoked when you leave your job?

[–] pudcollar@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

Correct, basically.

It's pretty common for past presidents to be asked to advise on things they might have experience with or specific knowledge of. I think they all keep their clearance mainly for that reason.
