The judge has clearance by virtue of her position as judge of this case. She will not need to gain clearance.
What? She has has to have clearance if she is looking at classified docs. I know some federal judges have security clearances. Does she?
There used to be a huge backlog in getting clearances (thanks Hillary Clinton!!) but I think they’ve reduced it by not doing active re-investigations of those long-time clearance holders who have a low risk to national security.
So I am wondering how long it will take them. And if they need more than TS (which is likely) that normally takes those in the federal contractor world forever to get! I’m sure these guys will get priority in the queue though as the Trump-haters in government push to get this trial going quickly…
From the article I linked to
A judge hearing a classified documents case, by virtue of their position, is giving the necessary access. Members of Congress also don't need to gather a security clearance, I believe. The President, of course, also does not.
Thanks! I learned something new. Makes sense given their background investigation though. However, there is a flaw in that. They are not subject to periodic investigations like the rest of us. And do they have to sign same document that others do, swearing not to divulge? I haven’t read link as I’ve been running errands but I will!
