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?

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?

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?

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

During my working life I had clearances of one level or another for almost 50 years. Typically, if a position requires a clearance and you’re hired for the job you are awarded an Interim clearance while the background checks proceed. Background checks can take a long time to complete and it doesn’t really take much to foil a security clearance. If the clearance cannot be awarded as Final, you can’t have the job. Kinda sounds like what happened here. (During the Interim period though, the standard penalties for leaking or missusing classified info still apply.)

I am betting the later.

There is a new government agency in charge of security clearances and they have mucked up the process so badly the process has stalled.

As of now most government agencies and contractors will only hire people with current clearances as nobody knows when any more new ones will be granted.

Does anyone note that Trump administration employees are being denied clearances at a ridiculously higher rate then Obama administration people?

The Obama administration employees featured an Attorney General who had taken over a ROTC building in 1971, former Weathermen and their sympathizers, Clinton flunkies with so much baggage they needed a briefcase to detail their crimes, current heavy drug users, former heavy drug users, and sexual deviants of all stripes.

I remember a few articles about problems with clearances for them. Then it dried up.

Know why? Because the Rats are criminal gangsters, and the people working in the investigations offices were most likely threatened by their enforcers. Clear the decks, get people through the process and don’t cause trouble or we gut you.

Trump’s people aren’t like that so they’re getting rolled by the Obama holdovers for petty crap. Kelley is going along with it because he’s ex-mil, but all he’s doing is making his own people look bad. The Rats in the bureaucracy are smirking because they know they wouldn’t do that to their own people.

Just my take.

Can you lose your clearance for a DUI or financial problems?

I’m sure Muller will charge him with whatever it is that he is investigating.

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.
