Career Official....That’s what you’re called if they can’t get rid of you....at least by the media. I call her a PITA.

I wonder if Tricia Newbold could pass a piss test, Accurant report and FBI interviews to include lie detector?

It was Obama official who relaxed the guidelines for security clearance.

One thing not in the article but in an NPR report:

The woman complaining has dwarfism and part of her complaint is that her boss put personnel records in a top drawer of a file cabinet to keep her from looking at them.

No joke.

WOW! Good thing DJT never wrote about how he and his buddies hung out on the beaches doing drugs and booze during their high school years.

Brennan should never have gotten one either - he voted Communist, unironically, during the height of the Cold War.

Is she the one that gave clearances to Valerie Jarrett (a Muslim), and John Brennan (a Muslim), James Clapper (pathological liar), Hillary Clinton (Russian agent), and members of CAIR that had access to the White House?

HE'S THE PRESIDENT. He's the one that says what is classified.

I guarantee you, Obama brought people in who couldn't pass a background check. Dang Communists.

Lots of people are initially denied clearances until the issues are understood and reviewed by higher authority. The President is the final authority. People who have traveled and lived overseas often find it hard to list all of their associates and relatives. Just review the govt websites and look at what you must disclose. The older and more complex your life and accomplishments make it harder to get a clearance.

Read Gary Aldrich’s book Unlimited Access about this issue during the Clinton presidency.

The President has every right to grant security clearances to whomever he chooses.

Trump should FIRE anyone in the OPM who stonewalled, obstructed, delayed or denied the issuance of clearances just because they hate Trump!

So it’s really all about Jared, isn’t it? The Swamp is obsessed with him.

Being a Demonicrat should automatically disqualify a person from getting a security clearance.

Mere “concerns” or actual corroborated evidence of disqualifying behaviors? Now wait for the list of people to come out. Who ever leaks that should be prosecuted.

I can’t speak for all of them but I wish he hadn’t overruled them on the security clearances for Ivanka and Jared.
