Kelly put's a bulleye's on Kusher..


White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly announced Friday that beginning next week, the White House will no longer allow some employees with interim security clearances access to top-secret information — a move that could threaten the standing of Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law.

Kushner, a senior adviser to the president, has been able to see some of the nation’s most sensitive secrets even as his background investigation has dragged on for more than a year.

<snip>
A senior administration official with knowledge of Kelly’s thinking said that the chief of staff has been frustrated with Kushner’s high level of access without a final clearance and that he was aware the new policies announced Friday could jeopardize Kushner’s ability to carry out his duties in the West Wing. The move puts a “bull’s eye” on Kushner, the official said.

White House senior adviser Jared Kushner has had access to top-secret information while his security clearance investigation is pending.
A spokesman for Kushner did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

And speaking of wife beaters, he wanted Porter to stay and tough out not having a clearance but now he's allegedly "frustrated" that others in the admin don't have one.

He 's not just a liar but a huge hypocrite.

Probably getting in some quality time with his family before he puts on the orange jumpsuit. Maybe his dad can give him his old uniform. Make it a father-son bonding moment.

He went to the Middle East to bring peace there and failed and I don't know what he's been up to since.
