Notice that Mr. Mudd says he doesn't use his security clearance for any work done by third parties for the federal government.

He didn't say that he didn't use his security clearance to do work for third parties not working on behalf of the federal government. This is the definition of the deep state: organizations operating outside of the government. He just described to everyone how the deep state works if you listen closely to what he said. And apparently, a security clearance is a key requirement. It makes sense because they need the intelligence from the government, because only the government has the legal power to run an intelligence agency.

So the deep state is made of third party organizations full of people who have access to US intelligence who are not working on behalf of the US government, but toward their own goals.

What would be the purpose of keeping security clearances of retired personnel at all? If they need to be questioned re something while they were in office, they could have a temporary case specific restricted security clearance reinstated, for the time of the questioning.

I am not saying previous administrations were that much better, but it is becoming obvious that the Obama administration was the least transparent US regime ever, who on top of that leaked classified info when it could hurt their political opponents, while stonewalling legitimate FOIA requests. Hillary’s email is the prime example.

The greatest liar ever?

5.1 million Americans have security clearances. That’s more than the entire population of Norway.

Critics of the country's national security apparatus say Washington is addicted to secrecy. Judging by the ballooning number of Americans with government security clearances, they might have a point.

About 5.1 million people — or more than 1.5 percent of the population — held security clearances last year, up from 4.9 million people with clearances the year before. The new figure comes via a report commissioned by President Obama and released by the Office of Management and Budget, which estimates that 60 percent of those security clearances had immediate access to confidential data.

If the security-cleared population were its own country, it would be bigger than Norway.

Investigating candidates for security clearances also costs a pretty penny; OMB estimates that a background check for a Secret-level clearance costs between $210-$272 for each of the 3.6 million people who have them. A Top Secret clearance, meanwhile, costs the government nearly 20 times more, at an average of $3,959 per background check. At that rate, investigating the 1.5 million people with Top Secret passes may have cost as much as $5.9 billion over several years. And it gets worse: Many of the clearances currently held by federal workers have already expired.

"The most recent data show that roughly 22 percent of the population eligible for access to classified information at the TS or TS/SCI level was outdated, and no reinvestigation had been requested," OMB wrote. Translation: There are people walking around with clearances today who maybe shouldn't have them.

Many background checks are performed each year by a single contractor — U.S. Investigations Services, which was accused in January by the government of submitting hundreds of thousands of incomplete background checks in order to meet demand. The same company was responsible for vetting both former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden and Washington Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis.

The explosion in security clearances was also likely fueled by America's two most recent wars. From 2005 to 2013, OMB says, the cost of performing background checks for the Pentagon surged 37 percent, from $487 million to $665 million.

After the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, there was concern that the country didn't have enough manpower to connect the dots on intelligence. Now, the growing army of people with access to private information risks making the nation's secrets less, well, secret.

John Brennan on Thursday recalled being asked a standard question for a top security clearance at his early CIA lie detector test: Have you ever worked with or for a group that was dedicated to overthrowing the US?
"I froze," Brennan said during a panel discussion about diversity in the intelligence community at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual conference. "This was back in 1980, and I thought back to a previous election where I voted, and I voted for the Communist Party candidate,"
