Things got ugly when a Republican strategist accused a former CIA analyst of earning 'more money' with his security clearance
[Business Insider] Former CIA analyst Philip Mudd got into a heated argument with Republican strategist Paris Dennard on Friday, after Dennard suggested Mudd made "more money" from consulting firms because of his security clearance."Your contracts and your consulting gigs pay you a lot more money because of the access that you have," Dennard said, adding "I hope the president continues to do this," referring to the security clearance revocations. Mudd did not appreciate Dennard's assertion. "Profitable, Paris?," Mudd asked. "Let me ask you one question. How much do you think I'm paid to do that at the request of the US government? Give me one answer and you got ten seconds. How much?" Dennard rebutted, "I'll ask you a question. How much are you paid for your ..." But Mudd shot back, "Answer the question! I have no contracts with the US government that pay money. Zero." "Phil, let's be honest. I'm not talking about your role with the federal government," Dennard said. Posted by: Besoeker 2018-08-18 |
