With anyone besides Trump, I would agree. But President Trump is playing a longer game here,

Recall that Trump said during his campaign that he would stop the "revolving door" where ex gobmint and congressional critters get lucrative jobs on K street and in industry.

I think he said a prohibition for 5 years

One way to stop this in its tracks would be to pull the security clearance.

"Mudd is in no mental condition to have such a Clearance," Trump said. "Should be REVOKED?"

You have the absolute authority to do that, Donny Boy ... what are you waiting for?

The article is a bit unfair. Dennard was patient and polite to a fault. Mudd just went apeshit crazy.

Mudd started by complaining that his voice was being silenced, which was risable from the get-go. Then he wanted to silence Dennard by throwing him off the show.

I doubt the average CNN viewer found anything ironic about it.

Using their own methods and standards against them, brilliant!

Sounds reasonable to me. Got a high level security clearance? You’re supposed to keep your mouth shut, not singing like a canary to the media or anybody else for that matter. Btw, those security clearances belong to the govt, not to the John Brennans out there who want to profit off of them. I’m not crying at all if it hits them in the pocket.

Once they leave their job there is no way to track who they're feeding information to.

You have it backwards. The question is "once they leave their jobs" who keeps feeding them information?

My analysis is being vindicated:

"President Trump, the most successful reality television producer in the history of the medium, knows how to spot a compelling villain, and now he has provoked the Deep Staters into defending the indefensible."

He’s a political hack

Mudd exposed himself with that outburst...who gets this angry unless they are a hard-left political hack. Anyone with a security clearance should be professional, circumspect, cool under pressure, and respectful of what's been entrusted to them.
