Would someone with Q clearance even have access to most of the crap spouted by QAnon?

Types of Gov. clearance:

National Security Code Designations Security Clearance Guidance
If the National Security Clearance Level is Secret or the employee is granted a Department of Energy L clearance, the position is designated as Non-Critical Sensitive, FPPS Code 2. (Note: If the position is also designated as High Risk applying Public Trust or Computer Sensitivity and Security criteria the position designation is changed to Critical Sensitive, FPPS Code 3. The position is subject to Drug Testing, FPPS Code H.)

If the National Security Clearance Level is Top Secret, the position is designated as Critical Sensitive, FPPS Code 3. The position is subject to Drug Testing, FPPS Code H.

If the National Security Clearance Level is a Department of Energy "Q" Clearance (DOE Q), the position is designated as Critical Sensitive, FPPS Code 3. The position is subject to Drug Testing, FPPS Code H.
