(38,434 posts)If there is proof that these officials did not have clearance, and that proof is shown to the country, then that could be a smoking gun. That Trump over ruled the rules of the White House to personally grand approval, when that approval was not given. If the FBI or the Secret Service said "NO", and Trump over ruled them, then Trump is in deep s**t. The details will come out.
