What process?

Kushner Company is seemingly always trolling for money from foreign banks and investors. Some of those banks and investors are on the intel community’s radar for a litany of reasons. Jared has access to that intel.

I’m sure such shenanigans went on all the time in the Obama administration. Republicans were just more discreet in expressing their discomfort with it.

If there was a legitimate “process”, Kushner wouldn’t be anywhere near the White House getting the PDBs.

This rule about the President being able to grant clearance to anyone of his choosing has to change. Because why stop with Kushner? Why not grant clearance to Lavrov? I know it seems exceedingly silly, but when it comes to Trump, the worst case scenario is always possible and it’s not as if Republicans would stop him.

The interesting thing about this is how nobody is willing to make a decision. There are three people who could decisively act regarding Jared: Trump, Kelly, and Jared himself (the latter only to resign, which is of course the only honorable action). Kelly made a show of acting by his “out by Friday” proclamation, but Friday having come and gone with the Jared problem still festering proves him impotent and emasculated. If they wanted cover, they could get McGahn to write a recommendation, which they would then be “reluctant” to act on, in order to prevent the “appearance of conflict.”

But no, of all the people in the White House, not a single one is able to give an up or down answer as to whether Jared deserves to have access to classified information or not.

Jared, Ivanka and 98 other grifters? Clean the house, Herr Kelly – clean up this mess. Oh, and come up with some explanation for those meddling Congress critters. You have until March 14th, 11:59 p.m.

And even Trump, at least publically, refuses to take responsibility for this decision. So it seems they’re scared of Mueller enough as to not make an active decision, but will passively let the situation fester. I don’t think Mueller will let them off the hook though. The buck stops with the President.

Having determined the horses are indeed gone, the Senate will now investigate if the barn doors were in any way involved in their disappearance.

Also, do any of them recognize the irony of asking Don McGahn, whose own background has prevented him from getting a security clearance?

If Donnie were there, he would have run in and stopped the horses from getting out, even without a weapon…
