everything is a joke now, might wanna start getting used to it

Kushner had an aide in his office in New York fill out the form, known as an SF-86, and on January 18th it was forwarded to officials in Trump’s Washington transition office who, believing it was completed, submitted it to the F.B.I., which reviews applications for security clearances.

“It had many errors on it,” the source close to Kushner said. His weight was incorrect. The years he received his graduate degrees were wrong. (He has a law degree and an M.B.A. from N.Y.U.) Some addresses were incorrect.

said he weighed 99 lbs instead of the correct 98

That's kind of a bullshit article because if they get enough legislatures in their corner to start passing constitutional amendments, having Senators appointed by the State will be the least of our worries. This poo poo has a been a conservative wet dream for 60 + years, and the frequent topic of Master Shake/Levin's radio show.

In the end, the criminal aspect of the Kushner security-clearance scandal will be up to Mueller. As to whether Kushner receives a clearance at all, the F.B.I. will soon issue some sort of report to the White House on the matter. But the F.B.I. doesn’t actually have the final say. Ultimately, decisions on security clearances are left to the head of the agency where the person works. In Kushner’s case, that means the ultimate decision rests with his father-in-law.

a lot of the rest of the article is lawyers saying it would be hard to nail kush on the security clearance form thing because they need to show criminal intent beyond incompetence

and if the trump admin has the upper hand on anything, its looking completely incompetent

2020 decides who draws the districts. I doubt the dem remember the rear end kicking they got in 2010 and either way dem turnout will be poo poo because all parties are the same vote Jill Stein and leave the rest blank.

It was unclear from his plea deal whether Petraeus kept a Defense Department or CIA security clearance, but he continued to advise the White House on counterterrorism strategy in Iraq — possibly requiring him to have access to classified materials.
he kept it but it'd be bad press to admit it so blatantly so they're being coy
