So, when you received this clearance that was so special you can't tell us what the name of the clearance was, it would have been a federal crime to tell anyone what type of clearance you had? Especially the name of the clearance?
Isn't "Q", then, committing a federal crime in saying that he has this clearance? Especially in naming this highly special clearance?
Having been a Spec ops officer, I'm sure you know that the definition of Top Secret means information that, if released, could cause exceptionally grave damage to the U.S.?
If "Q"'s clearance, and it's name, is higher than Top Secret, then wouldn't releasing it's name be possible to pose more than exceptionally grave damage to the U.S.?
Would a patriot do that?

A ‘Q’ clearance is likely a nominal clearance, a placeholder for a classified clearance. That would be my take.
I would think the ‘Q’ clearance is not compartmentalized if the President is involved. All other clearances are compartmentalized, limited.
The spec op clearances are time-limited. They are activated, then are deactivated.
