A lot of special access involved as well ..... on top of my TS was CNWDI . As well others working with the POTUS usually have YANKEE WHITE etcetera .... back logs on initial and five year review of a TS or Q clearance are backlogged to six maybe 7 years right now. With the recent data breach by the “contractors” that do this now versus FBI agents ...... its a mess.
Only solution is to go back to “NEED TO KNOW” concept and tell all the celebrity polididiots to leave the room when the subject includes info above they’re pay grade and ........ “need to know”.
My experience on the matter.

“”Kushner is not alone. All White House aides working on the highest-level interim clearances — at the Top Secret/SCI-level — were informed in a memo sent Friday that their clearances would be downgraded to the Secret level, according to three people with knowledge of the situation.”””
Agreed. The problem is the politicians and these appointments, especially from the Left. If you are an engineer and are working on a very classified program, you really have to pass the security clearances. But if you’re anpolitical appointee, they sail right through! Look at the Obama White House. Look at the Clinton White House - - 90% of these people are
traitors, perverts, and criminals! And yet, the system bows down for them.
