Yeah, just wasn’t him. It was a policy change. Of course the press won’t be honest about it.

I’m still wondering how people in the Obama Admin. got their security clearances?
Oh yeah, CNN and the press didn’t care, and security clearances were only suggestions.

Could this ‘slow-walking’ of these security clearances by the FBI be the insurance policy they were talking about??

These background checks are done by the swamp. They have a way of making sure that conservatives don’t get to work for the government. If you are liberal your check goes through quickly. And that violation for pot smoking is just a small thing, everyone does it. But if you have a hunting license they have to cavity check your grandmother before they give you a clearance.

I guess he must have transmitted classified info over an unsecure private server...or something.

Maybe now he can take Ivanka and the kids and go back to New York City.

Ive been worried about him (and greenblatt) for a long time. Cant know for sure on any sec clearances, errors can occur in both directions. But Hopefully this ends all the mucking around kissing the terrorists posteriors in the Middle East This alone will be a super-sized plus! And if DJT still wishes to employ these men, he can assign them to something constructive like, say, wall building, ending gun controls, Draining the washDC Swwmp of all its alligators, and/ or cutting wasteful spending

Trump should make the clearance people give them a real reason for not giving a clearance, and if it does not make sense he should order the clearance. The President can give clearances to whoever he wishes. The swamp can stall and deny a clearance for any reason, unless the president overrides them.

This is old news.
Security clearances are granted on a need to know basis. General Kelly will grant such clearances only on that basis.
This much ado about nothing.

He never should have been given that in the first place. Same with his daughter.

Wonder how many congresscritters could actually pass the background check?

"Maybe now he can take Ivanka and the kids and go back to New York City."We can always hope?
I'm sure they were a help to the Donald during the campaign but they keep stepping in it around the White House.

DISA is way behind on doing periodic re-investigations for people who currently hold clearances. Normally, you get an interim Secret in about a month. It can take 4 to 6 months to go "final". TS often takes a year AFTER the Secret goes final. I'm not really surprised to hear the policy is reverting to standard procedure. Perhaps that will light a fire under DISA and get them the resources they need to catch up.

Under no circumstances should the President of the United States override any laws or protocols to give out security clearances to family members like Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
Heck -- the whole thing became a joke when President Trump named this 36 year-old neophyte with no experience at any level of government as a "senior advisor" in the White House.
