It Trump starts revoking security clearances for people no longer in their former job, all the anonymous leaks to the New York Times and the Washington Post will stop.

The 'Deep State' will no longer have a means to plant stories in the mainstream media.

People don’t expect a leader to “threaten”. They expect him to act and leave the obvious explanation to others.

Mudd is a complete jackwad. I would love to see the Prez revoke his clearance. Security clearance is a privilege, not a right.

President Trump sometimes needs less talk, more action. Just do it, Mr. President.

That was very lame when he started shouting “are we clear?” Pretending he was Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men.

And then after the Florida School shooting when he started crying so bad he couldn’t talk?

Last, he works for a British intel consulting firm. Brit is foreign for those who don’t know.

The guy is unstable.

X-Intel. No longer required to have clearance.

If this is how Mudd behaves in a public discussion before an international camera, imagine the deeds he has done when the lights were off.

Hopefully he had been drinking or was on drugs. If he was sober then he is dangerous.

No clearance for him; straightjacket.

Its like bowling but Trump keeps setting up the pins and hitting strikes. You want to bet it will come out that this guy has been compensated by private and foreign governments because he holds clearance? Trump curse looks like that....

From my perspective, this guy’s a poser. His anger was a show and he’s a poor actor, very cosmetic. He’s a political hack, similar profile to Rosenstein.

Security clearances are the reason our trade deals suck.

These money grubbing traitors sell themselves to the highest foreign bidder. They ‘sell’ their expertise for a few hundred thousand teaching everyone how to ‘take’ the United States...

ALL SECURITY CLEARANCES SHOULD END THE DAY A PERSON LEAVES THE INTELLIGENCE BUREAUCRACY... AND ANY OF THE OTHER DC BUREAUCRACIES.

YOU MAY NOT SELL ACCESS TO OUR SECRETS AND VULNERABILITIES...

Dozens of ex-intelligence officials, including Mudd, have expressed support for Brennan in recent days /////

At first I thought these swine actually cared about brennan. Now I think they could care less. What they really care about is their own clearances. They seem to figure they can protecting them by grouping around brennan to get Trump to back down.

Now that the issue is out in the open I hope Trump revokes all clearances (to be fair). Those who can be helpful in classified areas can be cleared on a case by case basis.

Trump needs more action and less talk on this. The pres. shouldn’t threaten...just do it. Let others do the commenting. This is a fault...always commenting.

As I have stated on other threads, Brennan was the start button in a giant game of Whack A Mole.

Up they pop and WHACK!! Brilliant in it’s simplicity. You don’t even need to investigate. They out themselves and then WHACK!! It is almost as if Ted Williams was drafted as the official whacker.

"The two men continued to shout over each other, with Mudd growing more upset."

Which is a lie. While what only can be described as Muff "digging deep" for his "Jedi powers" and looking the fool for it, the other gentlemen was the epitome of 3C's. Calm, Cool and Collected, and devastated Phil Mudd with a calmly stated "It's not your show Phil". While the host and the other guest looked on increasingly uncomfortable, it was a moment meant for Dennis Miller.

Kudos to that young black gentleman who supports Trump's lawfulness and reasoning behind revoking Security Clearances.

One thing to consider, if they don't get paid for consulting with USA and they don't' use it for corporate purposes then why the hell do they need it? Do they lose their key to the "Washington House" where all old spies gather? How about the secret CIA retirement compound in Central America?

Security clearances are most valuable if you wish to be employed by a company that has government contracts.

But THAT is NOT what is driving these characters totally loony toons.

Security clearances are not normally revoked for any well behaved clearance holder.

Need to know is the normal control gate for classified information. If your government approved need to know matches your security clearance, then you get to know.

BUT...

When a security clearance is revoked, it triggers an automatic review of everything. Them’s the rules. (As in ALL Comms, public and private, for starters. Everything.)

You see, to get a security clearance in the first place, one has to agree to this. National Security is at stake, after all.

Now do these public meltdowns begin to make sense?

Mudd, who worked under then-FBI Director Robert Mueller and spent three decades in the CIA and FBI, asserted he is not paid by the government when he provides consulting work, and that he does not use his clearance for work in the private sector.

Apparently, Mudd does not really need a security clearance, according to his own words.

He is clearly unhinged and may be a danger to himself and the country. Time for adults to step in and relieve him of his 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?
