BRENNAN SECURITY CLEARANCE REVOKED
President Donald Trump on Wednesday revoked the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan, who has become a harsh critic of the president, and appeared to be targeting others who have disagreed with the administration. 
“Mr. Brennan’s lying and recent conduct characterized by increasingly frenzied commentary is wholly inconsistent with access to the nation’s most closely held secrets and facilities, the very aim of our adversaries which is to sow division and chaos,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, reading a statement from Trump while briefing reporters on Wednesday. 
“Mr. Brennan has recently leveraged his status as a former high-ranking official with access to highly sensitive information to make a series of unfounded and outrageous allegations — wild outbursts on the internet and television — about this Administration,“ the president‘s statement continued.

I'm curious to know when came the change that allowed individuals to retain a security clearance after separating from service. If you hold no official position or perform no function requiring a security clearance you should not have one.

When I separated from the US Navy (honorable discharge) my TS was immediately rescinded as part of my debriefing. What gives now? Is there a special status accorded, a life membership, for deep state swamp creatures that only they can possess and the rest of cannot question?

I've never known the USA to appoint "Ministers Without Portfolio". That used to be an alien concept on these shores.

Agreed. My clearance disappeared when no longer serving in the USNR.

I would also think a clearance would be revoked when no longer serving in a current administration, unless serving in a capacity that allowed for job continuance.
