Mainecat Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Trump Ordered Officials to Give Jared Kushner a Security Clearance Source: NYT WASHINGTON — President Trump ordered his chief of staff to grant his son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, a top-secret security clearance last year, overruling concerns flagged by intelligence officials and the White House’s top lawyer, four people briefed on the matter said. Mr. Trump’s decision in May so troubled senior administration officials that at least one, the White House chief of staff at the time, John F. Kelly, wrote a contemporaneous internal memo about how he had been “ordered” to give Mr. Kushner the top-secret clearance. The White House counsel at the time, Donald F. McGahn II, also wrote an internal memo outlining the concerns that had been raised about Mr. Kushner — including by the C.I.A. — and how Mr. McGahn had recommended that he not be given a top-secret clearance. The disclosure of the memos contradicts statements made by the president, who told The New York Times in January in an Oval Office interview that he had no role in his son-in-law receiving his clearance.

Mainecat Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 More.... Trump's former acting attorney general: 'Have we lost our ability to be shocked?' Source: Politico Sally Yates, the former acting attorney general who was fired by Donald Trump in 2017, accused the president on Friday of "cavalierly lying" about instructing his former chief of staff John Kelly to give Jared Kushner a top-secret security clearance. "Hard to know which is more dangerous—jeopardizing our most sensitive national security information or so cavalierly lying about it. Have we lost our ability to be shocked?" Yates tweeted. The New York Times reported Thursday that Trump had ordered Kelly to authorize a top-secret security clearance for Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, in May 2018. Kelly, along with former White House counsel Don McGahn and U.S. intelligence officials, had objected to giving Kushner a top-secret clearance, according to The Times, which said the full scope of their concerns is not known. In an internal memo at the time, Kelly wrote that he had been "ordered" to grant Kushner that type of clearance.

racer254 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 How many times do you have to read this before you TDS sufferers get the hint. "Here's why we want Trump: Yes, he's a bit of a jerk; Yes, he's an egomaniac; but we don't care!.. The country is a mess because politicians suck, the Republicans and Democrats can be two-faced and gutless. Trump may not be a Saint, but we didn’t vote for a Pope.. We voted for a man who doesn't have lobbyist money holding him back, a man who doesn't have political correctness restraining him.. We all know that he has been very successful, he’s a good negotiator, he has built a lot of things, and he's also NOT a politician, NOT a cowardly politician.!.. And he says he'll fix it.. And we believe him because he is too much of an egotist to be proven wrong, or looked at and called a liar.. Also, we don't care if the guy has bad hair."
