This. It's important to note that security clearance is not bound to a particular job - it can be required for a job, but once you have it, you also have it for any other jobs that may require that level of clearance. Which makes this super fucking petty and vindictive.

Exactly. The clearance is attached to the person and is granted based on a reliability and loyalty (to the state, not the government of the day) assessment. It allows you the ability to access information, on a need-to-know-basis, that is relevant to your current position.

Getting a clearane takes time, even if you're boring and only need a secret clearance like I did to serve on a submarine. A top secret clearance could take weeks of interviews like one dude from my ELT class that went to the "Special Projects" boat.

I'm not really comfortable with past government officials cashing in on access that was given to them solely because of a position they'd held in a previous admin however many years ago though

There is no “cashing in”. It generally allows former officials to advise current ones on topics they have knowledge on. It’s also not permanent. It’s an attempt to curtail 1A rights of Americans.

It also allows current official to consult retired ones on areas where they may have a particular expertise or experience.

Not normal. It prevents them from being consulted about classified security issues by those currently active in the intelligence community. Background info, consultation, advice, perspective- the continuity of security is disrupted if you cannot talk to prior IC leaders.

And historically administrations can consult senior experts in the field if new crises arise... Stripping the security clearance denies them access to a potentially vital resource.
