(CNN)Jared Kushner, who has worn dueling hats for more than a year as President Donald Trump's senior adviser and son-in-law, has been stripped of his access to the nation's top secrets, officials said Tuesday after his security clearance was downgraded.
Kushner, along with other White House officials who had been operating on interim clearances, had their access altered last week after chief of staff John Kelly stipulated new changes to the security clearance system.
Aides who previously operated on "top secret/sensitive compartmented information" interim clearances saw their access changed to "secret," a classification for less sensitive material. The lesser "secret" clearance allows access to far fewer government secrets. It would prevent Kushner from accessing the Presidential Daily Brief, the collection of top secret material prepared for the commander in chief every day.
THIS IS A JOKE. HELLO. I was in Vietnam and I got a secret clearance. Little old lowly me. Top secret is one step above and it ain't that much anymore.
THINK ABOUT IT!~ If a nothing journalist employed in the service of the United States Navy had Secret clearance, and I did, was allowed to walk around the ship with such information on the way to the shredder...it means nothing.
IN FACT...secret information, although potentially damaging, is akin to gossip. IT SHOULD BY ALL MEANS be guarded by patriots and punished to those who leak it daily, like the current bunch of radical liberals in Washington spilling their guts to the liberal former journalist media.
AND this is what fake news does. Talk out of their *** on things they know nothing about in an effort to walk all over each other to get to the next level and secure the BIG paycheck or force their political agenda down the throats of people they have no business trying to influence. ON THE OTHER HAND....Journalism is dead and these political hacks aren't journalists.
BACK IN THE DAY we were taught to report the news. The 5 W's. NOW everybody wants to be a detective or judge. Investigative Journalist.
THIS IS A JOKE. Journalism is dead.
