Donald Trump Sides with General Kelly in Security Squabble with Jared Kushner

President Donald Trump sided with his chief of staff General John Kelly in the dispute over whether his son-in-law Jared Kushner would have access to classified information. “I will let General Kelly make that decision and he’s going to do what’s right for the country,” Trump said. “And I have no doubt he will make the right decision.”

Kelly issued a memo last week announcing that he would revoke security clearances for White House officials whose full security clearance applications have been pending since June 1, 2017.

Kushner is currently working at the White House with a temporary security clearance and felt personally targeted by Kelly’s decision. If Kelly revokes Kushner’s clearance, he will not have access to some of the classified information contained in the presidential briefing.

In a statement last week, Kelly said that Kushner would have access to information important to his diplomatic information, but declined to say whether he would get full clearance.

Gen. Kelly’s job may be secure after all. I hope he does stay. The president benefits from the Gen. stablizing presence.

I would hope all that sort of info is shared on a need to know basis. That policy protects everybody.

Does anyone know what SCI access is? Kutchner has an interim clearance, not TS/SCI or higher

How did Obozo get his clearance, Clarence?

Who is running this rodeo?

General Kelly is on Trump’s side. Which is why the media has turned on him. Kelly will do the right thing with Mr. Kushner, I have no doubt. I am not one of those nuts here who have a problem with him.

Best to send Jared and Ivanka packing. Maybe emisaries to some out of the way place—New Zealand?

Javanka should pack their suitcases and go back to NY and
tend to family business.
If Trump wants their opinion, he can just call them.

Trump is polling at 50%, Obama was polling at 45% at the same time in his presidency.

That is a major tell considering the deep state and MSM are on his tail, and he shakes them off....

Do not let me down Mr Trump..

“........ going to do what’s right for the country,” Trump said.

<><>

Those words were never uttered or even thought of by Obama or Hitlery.

Like any bureaucrappic system, security clearance issuances can go snafu ( in both directions of failure). But it’s been a long time already that Kushie hasn’t been able to get one. Wondering why? Articles never seem to explain just what the problem is
