Please let me have just a peek

Jared Kushner, son-in-law of the nasty guy and White House “senior advisor” (though I would be mighty suspect of advice from him) can’t get a regular security clearance and has been working on a temporary clearance.

Kushner’s already dubious clearance has now been downgraded.

This was part of a process of downgrading the clearance of lots of White House aides in the aftermath of the Rob Porter mess. Porter recently left the White House because he was handling sensitive documents and didn’t have permanent clearance.

Couple points about Kushner:

The Kushner family company is in a financial mess. Might Jared be selling state secrets? Reportedly several countries are ready to deal.

Oh sure. I totally believe that when Jared or Ivanka hit up Trump for intel the answer will be "Sorry, kids, but that's beyond your clearance level, and you know I'm a stickler for protocol!"

And…

There are laws about nepotism. Laws about lying on clearance forms. Laws about emoluments and divestment. Laws about giving classified intel to hostile states. They broke these laws. Nothing happened. They'll break more.
