    Security clearances have dependent requirements. His admitted and open drug use should have been the first thing to get his clearance revoked but as others have stated: in America you are only liable for the crimes you cannot afford to commit; as long as you have the money for it you can do anything here.

      I have crossed paths with a couple celebrities that I was surprised had top secret clearances at the (based on open drug use). That part doesn’t really surprise me. His propensity for blackmail is what I find troubling. He may not be a financial risk but he’s certainly a risk due to his desire for control and/or power.

      Lol. So did MacAfee. He said he had tried “all the drugs” and they gave him a clearance.

      I don’t think there are any hard and fast requirements. The idea is to analyze your overall risk, not whether or not you’re a naughty person for having done drugs.
