If there is proof that these officials did not have clearance, and that proof is shown to the country, then that could be a smoking gun. That Trump over ruled the rules of the White House to personally grand approval, when that approval was not given. If the FBI or the Secret Service said "NO", and Trump over ruled them, then Trump is in deep s**t. The details will come out.

The incompetence and arrogance of this administration is unfathomable. However, to be curious, I asked DU the other day how many Democratic presidents also bypassed the vetting.

I’m worried about where the money is going - and how ALL Americans are being treated, as well as a proper concern for the safety and security of the rest of the humans in this world who look to the United States for hope (remember that word?).
