Short answer: Because Donnie wants him to. So there.

Not a surprise from an Administration that was giving Flynn classified CIA briefings despite being a known Russian agent.

On second thought, why does anyone need security clearance when Trump is blabbing directly to Russian agents in the Oval Office?

ā€œClassifiedā€ information is so Obama era.

http://bit.ly/2sViicy: replace one ā€˜iā€™ with an ā€˜hā€™ to identify this collaborator on Trumpā€™s illegal presidency.

Kushner - not ā€œKushnerā€ - certainly takes after his father, doesnā€™t he?

ā€œHouse Democrats outlined several instances in which Kushner either failed to disclose meetings or failed to correct the public record after White House officials repeatedly denied communication between President Donald Trumpā€™s team and Russia.ā€

Oh, please, give it rest!

Who among us hasnā€™t forgotten multiple meetings with Russian officials?

Or innocently omitted an attempt to sneak into the Russian embassy?

To use an encrypted KGB line to the Kremlin?

And avoid national-security scrutiny by the Obama administration?

In the midst of an investigation by 17 US intelligence agencies into Russian election hacking?

Like David Brooks says, thereā€™s just no ā€thereā€ there!

Iā€™ll scream it again: This kid is no more qualified for his duties than some high school boy.
He just does not have the life/job experience and intellectual heft for the job.

I donā€™t actually think heā€™s doing the job theyā€™re telling us they are sending him to do.

Heā€™s making deals for Trump Enterprises and everything else is a photoshoot.

Better question is why does Donald, heā€™s probably the bigger threat.

Martha Stewart did real time in a Fed prison for lying to the FBI, but these Masters of the Universe can lie to Congress under oath and get away with some paperwork. Weird.

"Dear Congressman Cummings, et. al.,

In reply to your letter dated June 21, 2007, the detailed response of the White House is as follows:
Because.

Still a thing, however, if your name is ā€œClinton.ā€

Suspend Jared? Silly question. He knows that the key to the West Wing is hidden under the planter. Otherwise, he calls Ivanka.

Hey, I can count on one hand the number of people Trump nominated/assigned/put in this administration that are more qualified than a high school senior for the positions they hold.

The super duper serious threat about a security clearance didnā€™t stop Hillary from going to the theatre in NY and receiving a standing ovation. Itā€™s a musical about Newfoundlanders coming the aid of the passengers and crews on the planes that had to land there on 9/11 instead of JFK. Imagine. Canadians helping Americans.

@rickjones Rinse needs to be reminded or maybe his lawyer already has that the chief of staff to Nixon, Haldeman, went to prison.
