He's a total racist and misogynist just like his boss and that's why he has the job, because he's deplorable, again like his boss. I'd bet big money he also has ties to Russia.

Dems have repeatedly asked the WH to explain their process for staff security clearance. Michael Flynn had his security clearance suspended. Jared Kushner does not have a permanent security clearance. Marc Kasowitz, Trump's defense lawyer doesn't have security clearance. Trump Jr. likely doesn't have a security clearance

Democrats request investigation into White House security clearance process

By ELIZABETH CASTILLO 02/08/2018 01:02 PM EST

Democratic senators on Thursday requested an intelligence community investigation into security clearance procedures under President Donald Trump, after a White House aide who had not gotten full clearance announced he would resign over domestic abuse allegations.

Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) sent a letter to Wayne Stone, the acting inspector general for the intelligence community, asking for information about how the administration determines who can access classified information.

“Members of the Senate have sent several requests for information to the administration seeking clarification on the security clearance review process," the group said, adding that it had gotten no responses. "We are concerned over the apparent low and inconsistent threshold the Trump White House uses for obtaining an interim security clearance.”

All of them.

He has NO interest in any laws, rules, past practices, best practices, norms, guidelines, etc. IF they happen to be inclined to prevent him from doing whatever the F he wants.
