Can anyone explain the importance of Grusch’s restored security clearance? A clearance typically provides access to information to an individual so they can do a job, not so they can discuss that information with others. Maybe it’s needed simply to enter a SCIF? But why then all the effort to get Grusch into a SCIF last year during his testimony if he didn’t have a clearance? Also, Title 10 and Title 50 have explicit laws regarding how sensitive/secret intelligence and defense information gets shared with Congress and with whom specifically. How does a security clearance change an individual’s ability to comply with those laws.
