(5,442 posts)I think il drumpf has already done deep and long-lasting damage to this country. It will take more than disinfectant to reverse the stain and the stench. I pray our security agencies have had him under the microscope since he claimed the office.

(32,645 posts)... and he tells an interesting story. He worked on Chump's campaign and then got a job at the White House for 1-1/2 years. The way Sims tells it, John Kelly would use security clearances as a way of regulating who got to work at the White House while he was Chief of Staff. If Chump tried to hire somebody that Kelly didn't like, whoops this person doesn't have a security clearance, so no-can-do.
Whenever Kelly liked the person, security clearance was very lax and he would give a "provisional" clearance for somebody who couldn't qualify otherwise. Rob Porter (a personal friend of Kelly's) got WH employment even though there were charges of spousal abuse against him, etc. Apparently the lax clearances for Jared and Ivanka were mishandled the same way, but when Kelly tried to cancel their provisional clearances, all-hell broke loose.
What I'm saying is, this could be another political can of Chump-worms!

(2,067 posts)"Whistleblower" alludes to illegal or fraudulent behavior, but unless the law has recently changed, the pResident has the authority to make clearance decisions, no matter how shitty he is.
