Because he is soon to be indicted? And John Kelly and the White House know it?
It just wouldn't look good if the top adviser to the President had access to all of America's secrets, would it? Notwithstanding General Flynn, of course...
Since he has operated over a year without a security clearance, we should ask, "Why now?"

(25,111 posts)Why just focus on JK? Kelly does not care for Ivanka nor Jared. He wants total control over t-rump.
As for security clearance, most of them know more about the USA's secret security than t-rump. Any Russian spies beside t-rump, yes there are a few in the WH, administration and congress.

(81,861 posts)He is both clueless and malicious. I am confident he is using what he's learned for personal gain. Didn't they already catch him doing something like that for the Chinese? Hopefully they can keep him away from intel.

She is ultra dangerous and ultra ambitious. I also believe her to be the so-called brains behind so much of his global money-laundering schemes.

(6,363 posts)...is Jared getting the daily brief without a security clearance on the day he gets indicted. That's a trifecta that would be really hard to spin to anyone except Hannity and the hard core 30% trumpian. Anyone with a 20% functioning brain would see it as a bad day.
