"SNIP...........


Donald Trump recently named Steve Bannon to be a White House chief strategist and senior counselor to the president. It’s a position that could give Bannon, the former chief of the alt-right Breitbart media outlet, access to the nation’s most sensitive secrets.

There’s just one problem: He might not be able to pass the background check.

The basic form required to get a security clearance, known as an SF86, asks about one’s arrest record, foreign contacts, association with organizations dedicated to the use of violence, and association with groups that advocate use of force to discourage individuals from exercising their constitutional rights.

All of those questions could be seriously complicated for Bannon, who’s been celebrated by American white nationalists, feted by Europe’s ultra-right, and charged with choking his wife.

1. With Trump, he'll tell who he wants what he wants with or without a clearance.

You remember how Shrub called himself the decider? Well, Trump thinks of himself on those terms as well. "I alone..." and all that implies.
