I understand that there was nothing unusual about a WH having staff members that were in place for long intervals before clearances had been completed. My contention is that the Trump presidency situation is unique, with just about everybody in the swamp and in the media out to destroy this presidency. The leaks and the issues of questionable allegiance have been unrelenting. What I’m saying is that in this unique situation it’s not good that there was no insistence that those security checks be done by now. Then, the allegations could’ve been answered. It shouldn’t have come as a surprise that the haters would pounce on someone not having security clearance when the opportunity came up.
