#1 Here's a suggestion. Have the Secret Service conduct a final review of the submitted e-QIP Security Clearance Backgroud Investigation Application.

Be sure to go over the penalties for failure to report, false reporting, or deception and rigorously enforce the penalties.

#2 The question is not why did they not have a clearance. The question is why after a year there are still staff members waiting on their clearance? Clearances can take some time in the Que. The presidents staff should go to the front of that line, not get stuck in line with every other person. This was deliberate slow rolling.

#3 This was deliberate slow rolling.

I agree. The Washington Free Beacon reported in January 2017 about revelations that the FBI had denied Ben Rhodes an interim security clearance during the 2008 Obama transition and that the House investigation leader into the subject asked, “Why was Ben Rhodes the only applicant out of 187 to be rejected for an interim security clearance?”

So the interim security clearance exists, and was applied to President Obama’s people during the transition — excepting the slimy little novelist who prided himself on creating an echo chamber around the Iran deal, and yet he was eventually was given a full fledged clearances. We are now over a year away from President Trump’s inauguration, and even farther from the transition.
