In reply to the discussion: Jared Kushner will be indicted by summer's end. Discuss. [View all]dumbcat
(2,120 posts)25. The newspaper is confused about clearances
and access. Two different things. Many (most) people with Top Secret clearances do not have access to SCI or SAP programs. It takes a higher level of scrutiny and a special need to know to get SCI/SAP access. Mostly the people who produce, analyze, act upon and package the intel for a political recipient, not the recipients themselves.
And, no, access to SCI is not "determined by the CIA." CIA is just one of many producers, I spent 30+ years in the field, and my access was never determined by the CIA. Mine was mostly by NSA and weapon system development program executives.
WAPO reporters don't really know what they are writing about. They just go with the last thing somebody told them.
