The difference between Secret/SCI and plain old Secret is huge.

[Stinky The Clown]

So Jared is now a mere mortal when it comes to his clearance.

Now . . . . can SOMEONE . . . . . ANYONE . . . . unpack how many of our national secrets are now in Russian hands? You KNOW this little fucking weasel and rat has been selling them to the big money guys in Russia.

3. Yeah its a huge gap

I doubt he can do much other than sit in an office there with just a Secret.

4. No such thing as Secret/SCI

There’s only Top Secret/SCI. The difference between just plain old Top Secret (no SCI) and Secret is wide enough (you can get a Secret in a month or two — TS takes a year or more — TS/SCI you’re looking at 18-24 months’ wait and a polygraph). That Jared had TS/SCI-level access with only an interim secret is appalling. John Kelly is very lucky to escape prison time for allowing that to go on as long as it did. He put the security of the United States at grave risk. FOR SHAME!

5. Your timing is a bit off

I got TS in about 6 months and TS/SCI is about 12.

Depends on how "colorful" your past is. Mine is boring.
