I wonder why the President Elect wants to have family given security clearance.

Hey, I know -- how about we all panic and run around like chicken littles because Andrea Mitchell of NBC wrote about something "murky." Eight days post-election and some FReepers already bitching. Gonna be a long four years.

Not sure if this is even true but from information I have read Jared is considered an expert on Israel. Could be Trump wants to have a clearance for him on matters concerning Israel issues.

Ain't been paying attention have we. He originally inquired about his eldest children as they worked to get him elected and he trusts/respects their advice - he's likely to want to have some conversations with them that might cross into some sort of classified even if it isn't earth-shattering info. He wants his son-in-law to formally advise him. Generally, family members aren't given clearances and there is an assumption that they may be exposed to some classified info as being part of the family (especially wives). He's wanting to do it right instead of just being under a pledge of trust that they won't be exposed to much and won't blab it. The clearance request is an attempt to insure formal accountability to National Security rules/laws. If they don't get the clearance, then they cannot be formally held responsible unless they actually try to harm the Nation.

Either of you have any real experience/exposure to the classified world?

His son in law is evidently someone who Trump trusts and wants to continue having his advice and counsel. I see nothing wrong with that.

As far as the other children, they have been close confidante for years. Why should that have to change? Just call them CSARS, Mr. Trump!

Remember, he won the election!

Didn't RObert Kenney have it during the John Kennedy administration? So what, give him a "title" if that is what they want.
