First, I held the highest clearance the Pentagon has. second, I was the one responsible for both vetting potential access to the TS library that I was responsible for. Third, overriding thirty clearances rejected by security professionals is probably criminal. Fourth, trump's son-in-law would not have ever gotten access to the material in any sanely operating administration. He has way to many ties to nebulous people including in Russia and Saudi Arabia. His finances are also quite questionable.

It actually doesn't matter about the security clearances in the US while Donald is president. What he wants he gets or heads will roll.

I recently had to fill in my SF-85 for a public trust position and had that background check done. Hell, it is the kindergarten version of the SF-86 and I was still nervous to make sure I filled it out correctly. Long ago in a galaxy far far away I had much more high level acess - and we had people lose clearances or not get them for a variety of reasons - bad credit / money troubles, marrying a foreign national, etc. a regular person lying on their SF-86 could go to jail- but the Trump nepotism and incompetence machine rolls merrily along with zero consequences so far.

Good article.

Again this should be surprising..but isn't..

Without looking at the link, what did that dumb bastard do now.
