Gowdy Opens Congressional Probe of Former Trump Aide's Clearance
2018-02-14
[Bloomberg] The chairman of the House’s main investigative committee ramped up pressure on White House chief of staff John Kelly with a letter seeking answers on who knew about spouse abuse allegations against a former top White House aide and when they knew it.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, a South Carolina Republican, said he was launching an investigation of the White House’s handling of the security clearance for former Staff Secretary Rob Porter. It raises the prospect of extended public embarrassment for the administration as White House and FBI officials could face questioning in front of a hostile committee, led by the president’s own party.
Again, if POTUS wanted OJ Simpson and Nidal Hasan to have TS/SCI clearances and be 'read on' to every Special Access Program in the beltway, the INDOC's would begin tomorrow morning. This is much to do about absolutely nothing.

#3  This Porter affair seems like a huge sideshow and excuse for not getting anything done.

It takes forever for Washington to get anything accomplished--but maybe that is a good thing. Whenever they do get anything done it breaks the bank.
