Third White House official resigns after being told he wouldn’t qualify for full clearance

A senior official on the National Economic Council resigned on Tuesday after being informed that he would not receive a permanent security clearance, as the White House faces increasing scrutiny over the number of high-ranking officials allowed to work on interim clearances.

George David Banks, who had served since February 2017 as special assistant to the president for international energy and environmental policy, told POLITICO that he was informed by the White House counsel’s office Tuesday that his application for a permanent clearance

Like an estimated three dozen others in the White House, Banks had been working on an interim security clearance while the administration determined the status of his full clearance.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

Banks is the third White House official to leave the administration over the last week


DANG!? Again... Yep.. The Great Douche only HIRES the Best Peoples.

 

[Indeependent]

I don’t blame him if he had a better offer elsewhere.

I’m glad he won’t get to monetize that knowledge after what would have been a few months embarrassing himself and inevitably resigning in disgrace.

So what's to prevent someone from denying them clearance in an effort to undermine his choices and hope he chooses some Establishment politician?

Trumps team needs to apply pressure to get details. Look at some of the leaks coming from people like Comey, and he did ok with his clearance. Or how about Brennan, former head of the CIA who once voted for the Communists!?

Either decide how stringent it must be, or deny everyone. Hell, even George Washington chopped down a cherry tree. If it were 2018 he wouldn't get clearance either.

It's not as hard to get top secret clearance as you think. Trump just keeps nominating criminals.

Funny how Obama could get this done with his choices. How FFS! Weird,

Who needs a security clearance at the WH....stand by for that to be the new trumpanzee mantra.

 

[DrLove]

When are they gonna boot Little Jared - who will NEVER qualify for full clearance, yet has access to our most sensitive national secrets?

For all we know, he's already been blackmailed.

The failing top secret clearance process is treating me very unfairly, and frankly, somebody really needs to look into Hillary's e-mails

Right. Obama the hardcore globalist, who placed America 125th in importance. He was embraced by the Establishment and they all got drunk off his debt increases, while Trump put America First and had to fight everyone including his own party to win.

I wonder if the PDB has less information in them as Jared is reading them?
So the information is not sold or given to Russia etc..

Doubt it. Too much money to be made. And Russia is likely furious with the Trump's right now for bungling the collusion, so Trump would want everyone that he can get to skim over the PDB looking for anything they can feed to Putin. They don't want any legs broken.

Funny how the Great Douche spewed out 7 Trillion spent in the ME.
To cover over ITS & the GOP 7 Trillion in spending to muddy the waters.
As the GOP has added some 7 plus trillion to the National debt over the next 5-8 years.
Where it will be at 30-34 Trillion. And bumped up deficit spending by almost 1 trillion per year.

That's an interesting question.
I know that they have to dumb Donald's down to two pages double-spaced and maybe a couple of pictures with circles and arrows.
Hard to say if Little Jared has access to something beyond the child edition.

One thing for certain - he's in horrible debt on 666 Fifth Avenue and would be an easy mark for an oligarch with money if he has the real deal.

Deficits don't matter to them as long as they get their judges, tax cuts and deregulation.

Yikes: FBI Denied Obama's Iran Deal Messenger and Top Advisor Ben Rhodes a Security Clearance in 2008

...Rhodes failed to pass FBI scrutiny in 2008 while being vetted for the White House and was denied the necessary security clearance. Despite the denial, Rhodes went on to become an architect of U.S. foreign policy under the Obama administration. Specifically, the Iran nuclear deal.

Ben Rhodes, a White House deputy national security adviser who led the administration’s efforts to mislead Congress about the terms of the Iran nuclear agreement, is under scrutiny in the wake of disclosures he was declined interim clearance status by the FBI in 2008, when the administration was moving into the White House. ...
