Security clearances are the responsibility of the FBI/intelligence agencies. If anyone is to be blamed it is them.

How did they vet Bill Clinton and Barack Obama?

We still don’t know if Obama is actually a citizen or not.

Bill had a number of women he had physically abused, and it was public.

Time to “vet” every POS who worked in the Obama and Clinton White House staffs.... I recall there were reports that plenty did not qualify for security clearances. Let’s get it ALL out and beat the Libtards at their own game.

Well, yeah, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were totally unfit for security clearances, but that did not stop the Demoncraps and MSM from pushing them into the presidency.

Good point.

And not to forget, NBC is Comcast. Conservative subscribers have options.

He did. Twice but he did not mention Lauer’s name.

I didnt see the show (I can't stomach F Chuck) but he should have mentioned Lauer's name to shame him. He could have also thrown Mark Halperin into the mix as well as F Chuck probably had him on his show many times.

This is a transparent set-up by the FBI and other leftists.

Who leaked this information from the FBI to the anti-Trump leftists?

Who organized the release of the story and the conveniently timed statements of the ex-wives?

Isn’t it a strange coincidence how both of Rob Porter’s ex-wives decided to come out of the shadows and tell their stories only days apart?

Although he had been in his position at the White House for a full year during which there was never a peep from either one?

That’s a full year in which the FBI failed to complete their background check of Porter and inform the White House of his history.

It’s almost as if someone organized and engineered this crisis knowing that the FBI had not done their job of properly vetting him and informing the White House, thereby intentionally leaving the President open to criticism.

No - Not “almost”.....

This makes Trump look like a fool.

To get a security clearance, they look into your past. They knew this allegation was there. True or now, this is a major security/blackmail risk.

Someone not only knew, someone let it slide.

Stupid move

We still don’t know if Obama is actually a citizen or not.

Oh, we know alright.

By default we know that he is not.

If Obama was a legit citizen Nancy Pelosi would not have had to lie when she signed two Certificates of Nomination certifying that she had verified Obama's Constitutional eligibility to be president.

And if he was legit his birth certificate and other ID documentation would have been plastered all over the front page of the NY Times, Washington Post, etc.

And Obama and the democrats would not have spent a fortune fighting lawsuits seeking release of his birth certificate and other ID's.

They knew this allegation was there.

An unsubstantiated allegation is only that.

It is the responsibility of the FBI to perform the background checks, verify the facts and issue or deny the proper clearance for all employees, including Porter.

It is not up to John Kelly, Donald Trump, the White House secretarial staff or the First Lady to do the background checks,
track down ex-wives, irate neighbors, etc. for the thousands of federal employees a new president must employ when he comes into office.

The FBI had a year to perform the background check on Porter and it was reported that Kelly even pushed them to get Porter's investigation completed.

This was and is a set up, pure and simple.

And the FBI's fingerprints are all over it.
