Jared Kushner's Clearance

Liberals are making a "big thing" out of the fact that President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has had his security clearance downgraded. Wolf Blitzed--er, Blitzer breaks in every ten minutes with a "breaking news" story about it, as if that were the most important thing in the universe, and reflected something bad Jared has been doing. What they don't tell you is that the real reason for that is that the FBI has been "dragging its feet" on doing the investigative work required for him to get a permanent clearance. They blame it on a "huge backlog" of clearance investigations. But what it really is, is that the bureaucrats in the FBI (holdovers from the Obama administration) are "dragging their feet," putting others in front of Kushner. Bureaucrats are masters at stalling and delaying, and coming up with what sounds like good excuses not to get things done. It is NOT Kushner's fault, and their excuses are based on the usual hearsay, from "unnamed sources" that do not exist. These people are in the mold of Jim Comey, and are loyal to him, not the United States. He may be gone, but his influence remains. (Politico)
