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.

I see no purpose in these “advanced” announcements. Pull the GD plug.

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

I agree with you, but are you sure your premise is true?

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.

I wonder who monitors what these former intelligence people divulge when they gain access to top secret information.

This seems to be a huge national security threat.

Trump is pushing them over the edge with single sentences.

To see who they talk to, to ensure all the players are being picked up on. I would be my bottom dollar these adam henry’s left enough in their wake out of pure arrogance that they have placed themselves in the cross hairs legally.

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.

Exactly.

When their at their job, they can be monitored.

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

The 'courtesy' security clearance needs to end.

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...
