House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings announced Wednesday that the committee is launching an investigation into "grave breaches with the security clearance process" at the White House.

"The goals of this investigation are to determine why the White House and Transition Team appear to have disregarded established procedures for safeguarding classified information, evaluate the extent to which the nation's most highly guarded secrets were provided to officials who should not have had access to them, and develop reforms," Cummings said in a statement. Cummings is asking the Trump administration for more information on the security clearances of current and former administration officials:

Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn Michael Flynn, Jr. Former Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland Current National Security Adviser John Bolton Trump senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner Former White House staff secretary Robert Porter Former National Security Council senior director Robin Townley President Trump's former personal assistant, John McEntee Former deputy assistant to the president Sebastian Gorka

Elijah Cummings, the RATs #1 House Negro! He’s so “revered” in his home state of MD, that the people who live there have cast iron “likenesses” of him out on their front lawns.

So, since everyone knows the democrats are doing this and for them it is not a crime. Therefore the republicans MUST be doing it too and it is a horrendous crime and they must be found out and sent to prison!

So now am I to believe that Democrats care about security? They certainly didn’t when it came out that Mrs. Bill Clinton allowed the Russians (and anybody else) to have Secret and Top Secret emails.

Obama got around such oversight by holding his meetings on the golf course, like a mafia boss.

This won’t slow PDJT one iota.

“The goals of this investigation are to determine why the White House and Transition Team appear to have disregarded established procedures for safeguarding classified information, evaluate the extent to which the nation’s most highly guarded secrets were provided to officials who should not have had access to them...”

Of course, it is widely unknown that the President is the one who sets policy regarding classified information...see EO 12829, et al.

The WH should “accidently” send the files of the Obama officials and anyone connected to Hillary.

Don’t be fooled. They want acces to the background investigations themselves to get dirt on Trump folks.

Yes. And while he’s at it, I’m sure Cummings would like to investigate the Wasserman Schultz/Awan House state secret breaches! /s

what about the grave breeches in the security clearance and vetting process for Congress - why do we have an incestuous liar who falsified immigration records sitting in the House?

‘Established procedures’

By all means review how WH security clearances were managed during the preceding incoming administration. Obama atomized the procedures to empower a horde of traitors.
