It's basically the same scenario: the clearance will get pulled until the investigation is complete. The difference here is that the drug case will be resolved in a few days, as opposed to this prolonged federal criminal case involving millions of dollars and potentially dozens or hundreds of defendants.
- 086421357909764 11y agoSadly it's not so fast. I saw it take months for an article hearing after an investigation (the duration of which clearances were suspended). It's not until then can an adjudicator assess and with the backlog that existed prior to the extra scrutiny the snowden issues have brought, i'd be hard pressed to believe the timeline was anything under 12 months at a minimum. Another issues is some facilities require a clearance simply to visit HQ which often times is very well removed from the actual operations. When you can get a Campus Access Badge, often times pending adjudications like this can stop even that access. The whole system is rather antiquated.
