Methinks thou dost protest too much!
Here is video of bitter NeverTrumper Phil Mudd on CNN having a total meltdown last night because Conservative Paris Dennard actually called him and others with Security Clearances out for trading on those clearances to get consulting and commentating gigs. Mudd rose to prominence at CNN after he consistently trashed Donald Trump on air. CNN could bring him on as an Intelligence Expert and know he would always hammer Trump.
Here, Paris Dennard says it is widely known in Washington that if you have a Security Clearance you will get paid more money to consult with private firms. Mudd denied it by saying he doesnt get paid anything BY THE US GOVERNMENT because of his clearance. Dennard caught his sleight of hand and said he wasnt talking about pay from the Federal Government, but private entities.
Mudd got so angry he told Paris to get out, to which Paris replied, Its not your show, and Dont be so defensive.
In a word Destroyed! . . . .

Is he related to this guy? HARCOURT FENTON MUDD
If nothing else, Phil should always be referred to as Phil" Harcourt Fenton's Great-Great-Great..... Grandpa" Mudd.
Can't wait for his network of choice to have an in-depth look at Tribbles: Phil would have an inside track
Well I don’t know about other FReepers, but I always assumed that all clearances were always dependent on actually having a job which had a real need to know things.
I think that is the way things should work. Always. For everyone. Completely.
This sort of seems like an out-of-control mess.
Actually.
I’m sure I am not alone in feeling this way.
Congress hands out its own security clearances to itself and its own staffers. The FBI only investigates after there is a serious security breach, but the FBI can’t revoke clearance. Note the great Awan coverup.
So we are to believe that phil is the ONLY one who isn’t monetizing his security clearance? Whadda guy!
“Meltsdown”
Good grief. Our people are becoming completely illiterate.
My passwords for access to patient records and clinical information has to be changed every 6 weeks or so. If I leave the medical system I work in I will no longer have access to that network. Why should it be any different for these people?
Making money with your Security Clearance = Spying ?
One of these days all us “play by the rules” people are gonna get so mad at the corruption that we might have a rally, .....or something......I think.
“FORMER DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE CIA COUNTERTERRORIST CENTER AND FBI NATIONAL SECURITY BRANCH
FOX NEWS / CNN / MSNBC / 60 MINUTES / CHARLIE ROSE / NBC NIGHTLY NEWS / AC360”
“He is a senior fellow at the New America Foundation and The George Washington Universitys Homeland Security Policy Institute. He now serves as Senior Global Adviser to Oxford Analytica, a British-based firm specializing in advising multinational companies. He sits on the advisory board for the National Counterterrorism Center and for the Director of National Intelligence, and he serves on the Aspen Institutes Homeland Security Group.”
Lots of opportunity for contracts...hit him where it hurt.
Proud shit-holer. Did anyone ever call out Mudd for his use of the n-word on Lemon’s show? (rhetorical)
Why should it be any different for these people? ...................... They are the self acclaimed elite, and they deem themselves as untouchable and entitled to privileges. I was a G-2, this horse crap going on is insane. A clearance in the wrong hands can be as dangerous as a Nuke. I always told people that if you see and know too much, you are a weak link. If it means taking clearances away from potential leakers, by all means DO IT! Its normal procedure, a clearance is awarded to you for the slot you are in, once out, the clearance is gone.
FBI does the background checks and they are as corrupt as the corrupt bastards.
Yes, Paris really did a great job!
Your welcome!
His name is Paris Dennard. I agree, he is excellent!
You’re welcome! He really got under Mudd’s skin!
Great information! Yes, he did get under his skin in a big way!
Wow. Over target.
What the hell makes this idiot so upset? Must be hitting a nerve, goring his ox, etc.
“Its normal procedure, a clearance is awarded to you for the slot you are in, once out, the clearance is gone.”
Plus, I would think a clearance should be reviewed and have to be updated. You obviously know how it works, and I certainly have no knowledge of this, but it would make sense that maintaining clearance would be an ongoing process subject to ongoing review.
“What the hell makes this idiot so upset? Must be hitting a nerve, goring his ox, etc.”
Imagine working for someone like this.. It would take a lot of self control.
Security clearance=$$$
You can see it in Mudd’s face as he attempts and fails to break Denanrd’s focus. Mudd explodes at the end of the 2 minute clip.
It’s all about the money in the swamp.
