'As needed basis' for security clearances explained by General Mattis
[Breitbart] Defense Secretary Jim Mattis expressed solidarity with President Trump’s stripping of former Obama CIA Director John Brennan’s security clearance earlier this week.
"All I can tell you is, I have taken security clearances away from people in my previous time in uniform, and a security clearance is something that is granted on an as-needed basis," he told Pentagon reporters traveling with him in South America on Friday.
