Ivanka Trump: Father 'Had No Involvement' In Security Clearances

Ivanka Trump: Father ‘Had No Involvement’ In Security Clearances For Her, Kushner
Trump said the president had nothing to do with the matter.

By Amy Russo


<snip>

In an ABC News interview released Friday, Trump told the network’s Abby Huntsman there were “absolutely not” any special considerations granted to her.

“There were anonymous leaks about there being issues, but the president had no involvement pertaining to my clearance or my husband’s clearance, zero,” she said.

Trump and Kushner previously held temporary clearances for more than a year and a half while waiting for background checks to wrap up. In May, top clearance was approved for Trump and Kushner’s was restored.

<snip>

Meanwhile the clearances have been the target of criticism from Democrats, including House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) who has launched an investigation into the handling of classified information by President Donald Trump’s transition team and the White House.

I can't think of anything evil enough that I wouldn't believe about trump. Seriously. He's the role model for pure human evil.

trump makes Freddy Kruger look like a cub scout and that daughter of his makes Barbie look like a Rhodes Scholar.

Keep the noise down, daddy. Grandma might hear and get jealous.

Fake face. I suppose daddy did not have anything to do with her getting all those Chinese patents, either? I guess she and Jarrod have discussed which of them will run for the WH next. I wonder which one they decided would serve their family best?

if she gets handed the job. Surely she would not lower herself to actually campaign? Unless the job is GIVEN to her, she will never be president. By the next election, they should be in prison if there is any justice in this country.

Ivanka dear, your entire life has been manipulated and managed by daddy dearest. You're nothing but a molded plastic effigy of what daddy dearest believes to be the "perfect woman". The perfect woman for his carnal desires, that is.

Give it a rest, Ivanka. Every time you open your mouth your clueless ignorance erupts from that collagen enhanced orifice.

The mob boss doesn't specifically tell the enforcer to break the legs of the guy who didn't pay his protection money -- but this does not mean the mob boss had nothing to do with it. He hired the enforcer, he made it clear -- explicitly or implicitly -- what his duties were, and what methods were okay. When the guys legs get broken, the mob boss IS involved.

Trump hires corrupt people, he makes it very clear he only cares about the result not what the rule/norm/law is, and then he makes demands. When people then violate norms/rules/laws to get him the result he is demanding, he IS responsible. He has demanded that Jared be involved in things, things which require a security clearance. So the corrupt person he put in charge of security clearances made it happen. Trump is involved, he is responsible, even if he never said aloud "I, Donald J Trump, hereby order you, security clearance guy, to over-ride normal procedures and issue a security clearance to my son-in-law, Jared Kushner."

Fu*k her sense of entitlement. Who cares WTF her opinion is? Why did someone stick a microphone close enough to be able to hear the stupidity emitting from her pie hole?

This is the "new polite" response to the "new normal".

For one, it appears to be preemptive. Why would that even be necessary if things were on the up and up?

I'd like to see a profound sense of awareness overcome that family, before anything else. They could start by pulling it out from wherever it is. Perhaps then other desirable values might follow.

Or perhaps not.

58. Ivanka Quote " Perception is more important than reality.....
Sun Feb 10, 2019, 06:50 PM
Feb 2019

She said this in her book. Never forget this.

This is what they do:

“Perception is more important than reality. If someone perceives something to be true, it is more important than if it is in fact true. This doesn't mean you should be duplicitous or deceitful, but don't go out of your way to correct a false assumption if it plays to your advantage.”
