Other sources are reporting that McEntee couldn't get a permanent security clearance. Was there something odd in McEntee's background? Or is the clearance process hopelessly backed-up?
To: Leaning Right
or are they deliberately slow walking all these clearances as part of the “resistance”.

But the Muslim Brotherhood have no problem passing security clearances?

Escort Jeff Sessions out & get someone in there to lock Hillary up.

I think you are on to something. There was a report on FR recently also saying that and IIRC indicating that some on the inside had said as much.

Good point. There’s a third possibility here, one that I didn’t consider.

My first thought was leaks to the press.

I see his brother is Mnuchin’s body man.
Trump’s aide was a UConn quarterback, and we know the UConn basketball team was dirty, maybe their football team too?
To: norwaypinesavage
Trump isn’t one to keep people who do not perform, regardless of who they are.
To: Leaning Right
If it was a delay then why fire him now? It has to be something in his background made it clear he wasn’t going to get the security clearance under any normal circumstances. Part of the Kelly crackdown on temporary clearances?

He doesn’t have much obvious background to question. I’d bet he was found leaking. That’s why he was booted without being able to pick up his jacket or anything else.

Pity, seems like a bright ambitious guy. Wonder what the issue was?
To: 9YearLurker
Maybe the Broncos can hire him?

Yes security clearance problems, however minutes later given a job as senior adviser on Trump's reelection campaign operations.

Looks like the Broncos have chosen former Vikings QB Case Keenum
