House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, Democrat of Maryland, will be sending a letter to the White House Monday saying the committee has interviewed a whistleblower about concerns with the security clearance process at the White House and that it will begin authorizing subpoenas beginning at the Oversight Committee's business meeting on Tuesday. Read Cummings' letter here:
...The letter says the committee conducted a "detailed, on-the-record interview" with whistleblower Tricia Newbold, an adjudications manager in the Personnel Security Office. She has worked as a career employee for the Executive Office of the President for 18 years under Democratic and Republican administrations. Newbold told the committee that "she and other career officials adjudicated denials of dozens of applications for security clearances that were later overturned," the letter says, and said that she was targeted for retaliation after declining to grant security clearances based on longstanding national security protocols.

p
She should be grilled about Obuttmunch’s WH clearances.
How many hundreds were there in the Obozo Admin?..........................They didn’t give a rat’s ass then..................
A suspicion, just a suspicion, mind you, that this will turn out to be a tempest in a teapot.
Going to set up a tackle shop outside the Capitol. Worms, lures and other bait for sale.
More harassing bullsh*t, courtesy of the communist infiltrators - aka, “Democrats.”
How did obama ever get a clearance?
Meanwhile, Clinton administration people used to brag about smoking pot on the roof of the white house. And in fact, half of Clintons people, even higher ups, had limited or no clearance due to drug and other background histories.
But thats OK, wht with the “d” and all...
Denying security clearances to key people has just been one more way for the deep state to form a road block to delay President Trump’s agenda. We could not have had a more treasonous bunch of America hating stooges in the Obama Whitehouse yet they mostly all got their security clearances without delay.
President Trump is going to need a separate office dedicated to all the Rats are going to demand.
“career government employee”. I read that as a deep stater. It does not mean a neutral person just trying to do a conscientious job.
An Elijah Cummings NOTHINGBURGER!
Don’t you actually have to be reporting something illegal to be a ‘whistleblower’?
If I understand correct, the president has the absolute power to give security clearances, or take them away - so what whistle is she actually blowing?
Paging Rajiv K Fernando....
Elijah, Can have Dianne Feinstein’s Chinese national driver chauffer him over to the white house. Or maybe he can get Debbie Wasserman Schultz to give him the number of her and many other Dems it guy who is a foreign spy and they can email their concerns. Or maybe he can drop by Hillary’s house and email from her private server.
So what? The president is the final say on what is classified and what is it, and who has a clearance to know it and who doesn’t. Some more properly, this article should be titled, “the president decided who he trusted to work with him on behalf of America”.
Maybe the Trump Administration should hire Craig Livingstone to perform security background checks.
