Security Clearances in Trump world.

Listening to Rachel give some shocking information. She had on a Congressman who previously was Staff Secretary, I think for Clinton but it may have been for Obama, he said that the Staff Secretary sees the most top secret information. Everything the president sees. Porter saw it without clearance! It's a frigging circus. This government is being run by clueless amateurs.

And add Kushner to the No Clearance crowd.

We are in more danger than we thought.

1. And those who aren't clueless amateurs are Russian agents.

2. I know. It boggles the mind..........

The fact that the Trump Administration is filled with people with questionable pasts and are privy to the most top secret information that could pose a direct danger to all of us.

4. I never heard of an interm clearance.

Anyone else? I always heard you had a clearance and classification, or not.

[HipChick]

5. Yes, Intermin status is what you get...once your investigation is completed

and cleared...you have your security clearance..

6. Ah, what?

Ok in this White House maybe, I thought you got approved and was granted secret or top secret clearance. I was told , that if you're serving in the military and get a top secret, it cost our govt about ten grand per person.

I see it's classified as a temporary clearance. For a year? Nope.

7. I was amazed to learn that Top Secret is the lowest level AND

that there are levels above that that are themselves classified -- the very names of the levels are classified!

9. I believe there's lower levels of 'classified' than Top Secret ...

I think 'Confidential' is the lowest level from what I recall reading in the past. That might be something like 'how many MRI's are on some Aircraft Carrier' or the like.

TTBOMK 'Confidential' is the highest 'level' of stuff discovered on Hill's server.
