Kushner's top secret security clearance was rejected twice: report

By Morgan Gstalter - 01/24/19 09:07 PM EST

Two White House security specialists, including one supervisor, rejected President Trump’s advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner’s application for top secret clearance but were overruled by the head of the president's personnel security office, according to an NBC News report on Thursday.

Carl Kline, director of the personnel security office in the Executive Office, reportedly overruled security experts in the office regarding Kushner. He also did so with Trump officials on at least 30 occasions, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC.

NBC reported that a top supervisor overruling security clearance recommendations by the career experts in the office only occurred once in the three years before Kline, a former Pentagon official, arrived at White House in May 2017.

As long as President Trump trusts him what damage could it do?

Look at the quality and the loyalty of the other people he picked as support staff like Rob Porter, Steve Bannon, Cohen, Manafort, Flynn, McCabe, Omarosa, Sessions, Comey, the Mooch, and Tillerson

I hear ya. I remember all the posts you made about the open Communists that had clearances in the Obama administration......no. Wait. That never happened. You were fine with that.

Nevermind.

Your memory is as crappy as Trump's.  I'll tell you one thing though.  When Obama was President I had an effective Republican Governor.

So when he didn't have a Liberal foil in the WH to rail against he was exposed as a worthless fraud?

I'm sorry @Amb. Frank Cannon I can't tell if you are referring to Governor Walker or me in the third person.  If you're referring to Walker I couldn't even explain what a huge blow to the GOP in WI his loss was.  If you're referring to me, I gotta know how you know "worthless fraud" is my wife's pet name for me?

No. I was referring to that dynamo genius who flushed any chance he had of winning anything after two pathetic Presidential debate performances and then added a cherry on the top by hiring ne'er do well Canadian Liz Mair to insult voters in Iowa. Brilliant politician that Walker is was. Boy will he be missed (if there is even anyone who remembers his ridiculous ass anymore).

IKR.  Mair had no Russian contacts like Manafort.  How the hell did she think she could beat Putin's puppet?

Maybe if she did she could have gotten that stiff loser Walker to win in a state or two in the Primaries. You know you are a piece of dog vomit politician when John Kasich wins more delegates and states than you do.

Thank God Walker was replaced with a rat, right @Amb. Frank Cannon?

Who cares what happened to Walker. Who cares what happens in that state. No one ever says "Boy I can't wait to retire to Wisconsin". No one ever says "Boy we saved up for a our big vacation to Wisconsin". I don't think anyone even uses the word Wisconsin outside of the state. It's southern Canada.

Whatever legitimate criticisms there may be about Liz Mair, she was right about this....



Sorry...

I have no response.  I just think more people should see your post.
