Security clearance
in Politics
Debra AI Prediction
Arguments
1) you need to have a security clearance at least as high as the maximum classification of the material being accessed
2) you need proper ID
3) you need to have a need to know (this usually takes the form of having your name on a roster of people authorized to access the materials in question)
Every piece of properly classified material includes declassification instructions. These are sometimes dates, but usually (at least in the military when I was serving, and I seriously doubt anything has changed) they're marked Declas: OADR (Originating Agency’s Determination Required). The president is the commander-in-chief of all of the classifying agencies and has the authority to declassify just about anything at any time. Jared Kushner and Rob Porter undoubtedly have top secret security clearances, and if they were acting on behalf of the president, they can declassify pretty much anything the president allows them to.

They do not. They were granted temporary security clearance. Yet, even though it was made clear that they will never get a permanent security clearance, they still were handed the highest level classified information.
If POTUS hands classified info to somebody without clearance, the info is automatically considered declassified, which could be a huge problem for the US.

Information can be classified in one of the following categories.
Normally the originator of the document/info or what is known as Original Classification Authorities will assign the classification the information along with a declassification date.
In order to view classified document the following criteria must be met.
Classified Documents are to be clearly marked with their classification level. They can contain both classified and unclassified information. If that be the case then each paragraph or line must have proper letter within parentheses designating the classification of information with in that line or paragraph. (This is how they knew Hilary Clinton had received classified information over a non-classified network. Example (S) - Secret
Example:
Classified can only be stored in approve safes/containers.
You cannot transmit classified information on a non-classified network, must be on an approved and certified classified network.
If the particular classified information is no longer needed but has not reached its declassification date. Then the material must be destroyed using an approved device. Like a paper pulverizer, special hard drive electromagnetic devices, cd/dvd defacer and etcetera.
POTUS would have authority by the nature of his office to classify or declassify as he see fits. If he was inappropriately declassify something, I'm sure there would be political ramifications.

"POTUS would have authority by the nature of his office to classify or declassify as he see fits. If he was inappropriately declassify something, I'm sure there would be political ramifications."
By allowing somebody like RP and JK to review top secret information while knowing they are incapable to receive permanent TS SC, a point could be made that POTUS declassified said TS info.
A political price has yet to be paid. Trump did not even pay a political price for disclosing TS info to the Russians in the oval office.

When a clearance is done, they interview all kinds of people and scrub your back ground throughly and anything that might be used against you has to be cleared up before the issuance of the clearance. That's what was reported that JK had something that had not been resolved. We don't know what those things are. You would think that's it's easy to get a clearance, it's not, especially if you have financial issues, arrest anything that can be used by a foreign agent.
They're very expensive to get, so contractors will pay according to the level of your clearance. Having a TS would put you over $100K a year from what I've heard.

"Once again, how do you know the classification of any of the information Trump and/or administration officials accessed?"
Because it has been reported and confirmed that RP was in charge of handling all briefings for the president, which means he saw all the documents before they landed on POTUS' desk.
It has also been reported and confirmed that JK has requested and received more classified info than anybody else in this administration.

Not every briefing would be at the TS level, as far as classified landing on the President's desk, it would not necessarily work that way. Whoever signed for the classified, most likely maintained possession of the classified and personally briefed the President. Chain of custody would have to be maintained. Remember General Petraeus lost his job and a star for mishandling of classified. Now he was the Director of the CIA, the most covert entity in the world. If the Trump Cabinet mishandled classified I'm sure it would have leaked out to CNN or New York Times by now.

This is an exception to the rule rather than the norm however, it still holds true and I've seen it multiple times. Security clearances are timely and costly...sometimes critical decisions must be made that cannot afford that time and that's where authority comes into play for exceptions. If I hold a Secret Clearance and I happen to be a assigned to investigate something critical and that something happens to have a Top Secret element that I need to take into consideration...a room of executives aren't going to agree to wait 3-4 days for a clearance to process in order to have that material reviewed in some situations. In this scenario, whatever authority that classified the information would create multiple memorandums (15 minutes) and sign them authorizing me to temporarily review the information with the inclusion of an order of non-disclosure. 50 signatures later...I'd look over the information, take it into consideration and it would be done.
Some clarifications though, most authority figures don't like doing this as it comes with a heavy level of liability...but it is something that's done irregularly.

I actually eluded to that in one of my posts.
- If a person does not have a security clearance an interim clearance can be given by the proper authority. Temporary clearance is only good for a limited time. You can also get your clearance upgraded for a specific job/task.
When I worked on the B-1B Bomer in my younger years , The aircraft got tasked with a special mission, in the AF all personnel has at least a Secret Clearance. Unless they've gotten in trouble and had their clearance pulled. Anyway, the nature of mission required that all ground support personnel (maintenance personnel) had to have a TS. So, those who went and supported the mission had their clearances upgraded to TS for the mission. When you got back you were debriefed and signed a non-disclosure statement and resumed life as normal.So what's your background Vaulk?

Similar experience with interim clearances and temporary as well. I don't recall if Interim is what they dished out to all the troops for deployments or if it was temporary.
I was Army 19D, 14yrs with 1st Cav at Hood. At one point I was appointed to S3 Ops NCOIC and the headache began as I went through an SF-86 for a 10 year background check. I never missed my "Limited time clearance" so much.
Clearance was fairly laxed between 2002 and 2010...then things got serious and all of a sudden and if you didn't have the right clearance...you'd get an earful for even looking in the direction of intel above your level.
Bottom line...security clearances are not as cut and dry as some have made them out to be...it's a very flexible slope with occasional hard points. You can't really blame anyone for getting the wrong idea about it though...information on things of that nature is incomplete at best and likely for a reason. I blame movies.
