"NBC News explains:

The report captured data from 200,000 applications for secret or top secret clearance by defense contractors over the past three years, many of which were not fully adjudicated until 2017. It found that 486 applicants had their clearances denied or revoked. Of those applicants, 165 had slipped through the initial round of vetting and been allowed access to sensitive information…Felony charges were the cause for revoking 63 clearances, [drug use resulted in 66 revoked clearances], and evidence of foreign influence or foreign preference was found in 56 applications.

In 151 of the cases, applicants were granted an initial security clearance that was later revoked when it was discovered the applicant withheld information. In one example, a person given interim secret clearance in 2015 was discovered in 2017 to have been found guilty of raping a child prior to applying for the clearance."

The daring hypocrisy of Elijah Cummings is astounding. I hope Trey Gowdy sprayed his wicked face by coughing with derisive laughter. Outrageous!

These communists are D E S P E R A T E.

The MikaJoe media will surely be all over this story, covering for Elijah as well.)

Precisely why the founders said he could not be President.
Children of foreign nationals are exactly who the founders were excluding with the natural born citizen clause.
