Apparently, President Trump was not aware of the decision by national security adviser H.R. McMaster to grant senior Obama official Susan Rice top-secret security clearance. This disturbing news was revealed by Sara Carter of Circa News, who documents the letter that notified Rice that such powers gave her "unfettered and continuing access to classified information and waiving her 'need-to-know' requirement on anything she viewed or received during her tenure."
Carter asserts that "[t]he undated and unclassified letter from McMaster was sent in the mail to Rice's home. Trump was not aware of the letter or McMaster's decision, according to two Senior West Wing officials and an intelligence official, who spoke to Circa on condition that they not be named."
I hereby waive the requirement that you must have a 'need-to-know' to access any classified information contained in items you 'originated, reviewed, signed or received while serving,' as National Security Adviser[.] The letter also states that the 'NSC will continue to work with you to ensure the appropriate security clearance documentation remains on file to allow you access to classified information.'

According to Rush Limbaugh, "[w]hen McMaster was chosen by Trump to be the national security director, Never Trumpers in the conservative movement and establishmentarians in Washington all celebrated[.] In fact, the establishment Washington loves [McMaster]." That alone should have been a warning sign.

The kicker is that it was Senator John McCain who recommended McMaster for the position.

Send him to Mcmurtle Sound then tell him he’s been assigned there permanently and give strict orders to all pilots they will be court-martialed if they allow him to get on their plane to leave.
Oh yeah...religion of peace guy..yeah I criticized that...more people might have been against him if they knew about mccain
This pitting people against each other game doesnt work in DC. The chaos of his first months show it. John kelly is not going to allow it
Trump can right the ship if he lets kelly get the chaos in order.
I suspect trump knows that he will have to let kelly do his job or he will walk.. he didnt want the job to begin with
Trump needs to fire him.
Maybe that is the plan. Let Kelly be the man, the Senior General in command.
Did you read my whole comment? How do we disagree? I said I disagreed with McMasters giving her the clearance. All I was doing is countering the hysteria that she now has access to all classified info, which isn’t true.
