Do Trump’s Critics Deserve Security Clearance?

President Trump threatened to revoke the security clearances of White House officials that have criticized him. On Tuesday’s show, Tom Shillue remains loyal to the President, and believes that those accusing him of treason do not deserve to keep their clearances.

After Tom Shillue states that he opposes the idea of government officials maintaining their security clearance after leaving their government position, caller Lisa from Alexandria, VA explains the benefits of having security clearance when finding a new position.

Lisa says she received a private sector job much more quickly than others, because her background was already checked due to a previous security clearance. She does state that if any issue was to arise concerning her trustworthiness or loyalty, her clearance would be revoked immediately. Like Tom, Lisa believes Brennan should have his clearance removed.
