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.
Did he name his brother Attorney General?
The fact that he is 36 has nothing to do with a clearance. Its probably easier to get the younger you are. TS is a joke. There are literally millions of people with them. The reality is that we elect people to represent us. And those people need to have information about how the government is run. redactions and clearances have become Swamp tools to protect Swamp creatures more than top secrets.

The reality is there are college interns all over Washington with TS information. And ten times as many 20 somethings who run around with it and then go out to bars in Washington and get smashed. There is not too much secret in Washington. The Times and the Post and every bodies girlfriend and mother knows everything that is going on.
