President Donald Trump’s personal assistant, John McEntee, was escorted out of the White House on Monday, two senior administration officials said. The cause of the firing was an unspecified security issue, said a third White House official with knowledge of the situation.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders declined to comment saying, “We don’t comment on personnel issues.” McEntee didn’t return a call seeking comment.
McEntee was one of the longest-serving aides to Trump, dating back to the earliest days of the campaign...

“Trump made major mistakes by (a) not firing as many Obama appointees as possible on Day One, and (b) not having a full roster of replacements ready at the same time.”
Can President Trump fire them now? If he could do it on Day One, seems like he could do it now,,yes?
And, surely, loyal staff members could get a roster of replacements pretty quickly.
Someone said”6 ways from Sunday of getting back at you”.
A dog whistle command. If that all don’t get confirmed at the beginning no one notices. But weed them out slowly over time and” the administration is in disarray” narrative is achieved.
My first thought.
Yep. It’s possible.
Oh, yes! Those are big red flags for clearances. They will be looked at, but not necessarily result in a clearance getting pulled. But if you have either you are required to self-report them.
Financial problem, potentially. DUI, no, not normally, unless it showed a pattern that would result in a vulnerability that could be exported.
The thing is that a foreign intel service is going to either exploit an existing vulnerability, or they will create a vulnerability that didn’t previously exist.
All of this supposing you were worth targeting in the first place.
The only way to protect most secrets is with lies. The more convincing the better.
I’m sure Muller will charge him with whatever it is that he is investigating.
Now, there's a thought. Maybe they were caught in flagrante delicto and let go weeks apart instead of both the same day.
Probably not, though.
Every thread there has to be some smart-ass Sessions comment. No wonder why the FReeperthons are taking longer to finish. People like me are sick and tired of the Sessions bashers.
Seems the people who cleared Obama's Muslim Brotherhood and Communists 'friends' were more 'forgiving'... or corrupt.
“McEntee couldn’t get a permanent security clearance. Was there something odd in McEntee’s background?”
What in blazing hell could there be? They STILL let Humma Weiner and Hillary have clearances. Clapper has a clearance. Brennan has a clearance. Comey has a clearance.
BTTT
“...Trump led us in a LOCK HER UP chant.”....
We’re still waiting, guess louder “chants” are needed.
Leakers.... getting busted
I’m waiting with you. The only thing that will stop Hillary’s screeching is an indictment. It was a campaign promise that Trump made at the rally we went to in Hershey.
That is one handsome dude.
Well, we know she worked her way through Corandowski, Miller and Porter. This guy is the best looking of them all.

“Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins
NEWS: Johnny McEntee was fired because he is currently under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security for serious financial crimes, a source familiar with his firing tells CNN.
This source says the charges are not Trump related.”
I suggested earlier that with his brother as Mnuchin’s body man, maybe he was trading on insider info...
