A long article, which basically comes down to this:
Bottom line: If everything the White House has said about the matter is accurate, the fact that Kushner’s interim security clearance has been downgraded to Secret level probably isn’t going to have any practical effect, even on him, no matter how significant it might appear to be. We have to assume that if the president lets him see and discuss Top Secret information, there aren’t going to be many people in the White House who refuse to play ball, since there’s no criminal liability for them in exchanging information with someone the president has clearly indicated should be able to see it. However, if I’m right, then the longer the president plays games in the gray area here, the more potential criminal liability he is dropping in his son-in-law’s lap. So they may find down the road that this falls clearly into the category of “just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.â€
