What I am curious about is, how secure is the White House now? When I was in the service, certain aspects of every day life required me to have a top secret clearance. But then you have areas of a job where even people with a top secret clearance can not participate or even come close to an area where even more background checking is required. This takes time. My problem is this. Where do psychos like Bannon or Stephen Miller get this type of clearance? And how did Flynn get the job of Intelligence adviser when he was fired by his superiors for insubordination under the Obama Administration? Trump gets his clearance by default, (unfortunately). Now we have his daughter and son-in-law roaming around in the most secret rooms of the White House? I doubt I would have been let in even with the clearances I had. Psychos and kids have access to stuff they shouldn't be allowed to see. God help us.

The swamp is decaying so bad that it stinks. We can smell it here in Europe.

Has anyone notice that this presidential administration is turning into a real "family affair"

House Intelligence Committee, not House Intelligence Community. Please get reporters who have a grasp of the basics.
