Jared Kushner should have never been given a top security clearance. But, a Trump appointed Pentagon director of personnel security overruled two others who had rejected Kushner's security clearance.

WASHINGTON — Jared Kushner's application for a top secret clearance was rejected by two career White House security specialists after an FBI background check raised concerns about potential foreign influence on him — but their supervisor overruled the recommendation and approved the clearance, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.

The official, Carl Kline, is a former Pentagon employee who was installed as director of the personnel security office in the Executive Office of the President in May 2017. Kushner's was one of at least 30 cases in which Kline overruled career security experts and approved a top secret clearance for incoming Trump officials despite unfavorable information, the two sources said. They said the number of rejections that were overruled was unprecedented — it had happened only once in the three years preceding Kline's arrival.

Looks legit. So, what's the problem? Is this where you invent some non-existant law that was broken?

You think this a first? Ben Rhodes had his security clearance denied, by the FBI; he just kept wotking, without it.

I'm really looking forward to the Mueller report.
 
However Deep State's hate for Trump being what it is.....

And every day more comes out that we add to our hatred of this bastard. I can't wait for what tomorrow will bring.
 
Conservatives are all for the rule of law......until they aren't.

Shameful behavior. Security clearances mean something, and this corrupt idiot has no ethics.

It's going to be hilarious watching you people dance around like a one legged cat trying to bury **** on a frozen pond when the next Democrat prez gets to the White House.

A weaker America is what tomorrow will bring you can be sure of that.

We are nowhere near deciding to BE BETTER.

The New Chinese Empire is coming.

This is going to be ugly.

Exactly what I was going to tell you. When next Dem President does this sort of thing, thanks to precedents set by Trump, I am sure the right won't object... lol
 
Irrelevant as this is not about me, however I take note of your inability/unwillingness to track.

So he gets to decide everything? What is the official hotline number so I know what to wear to work tomorrow?

The last Democrat president already did it. Where was your outrage, then?

Speaking of precedent-n-all.

You are clearly either cant or wont pay attention.

Move along please.
 
You can get away with things when you're dating the woman Trump wished he could date.

Yeah, yeah. I know. I'm not taking this thread seriously. Plus, he really has made some foul comments I could never imagine making about a daughter. Because......why?

Congratulations to Mr. Kline for avoiding the pandemic of Russophobia that is destroying the minds of left wingers.

I just want to know what he doesn't get to decide. Since you'd like to have him as our benevolent dictator.

They are married, so yet again we find you wrong.

It looks like you are lying in a project to be cute.

That is so SAD.

There just is no red line for you Trumpers, unfortunate for the U.S. though.
 
According to the Law Trump gets to decide.

You do believe in following the law..

RIGHT?

Problem is, Trump shouldn’t get a clearance either.

I assume he wouldn’t if not prez.

The voters decide, so your opinion on the matter counts only as one vote.
