...why does he still have access to the President's Daily Brief?

Updated | Jared Kushner is a security risk embedded in the West Wing since he still hasn't passed a comprehensive background investigation required of anyone seeking a permanent security clearanceand no one will question the president's decision to put his son-in-law in a crucial government role, experts and officials told Newsweek.
President Donald Trump's senior adviser has been working under an interim security clearance nearly a year into the administration, as investigators continue to assess his trustworthiness and analyze his web of active foreign investments, according to two sources with knowledge of the status on Kushner's clearance.
Kushner's permanent security clearance was stalled because he initially omitted 100 foreign contacts before revising his forms three times. Kushner's complicated business interests are also being considered after he repeatedly revised financial disclosure forms. But experts said the sheer volume of his ongoing ties to foreign investors is enough to deny anyone access to classified information.

Jared lied so much, he can't be trusted with a security clearance. This kind of thing is unprecedented in the six decades of presential daily briefings.

I nor anyone else in this country don't really don't give a rat's ass about Jared. He has about as much influence on this administration as Hillary Clinton. I don't care if he goes to jail or goes on vacation to Hawaii. If he does go to jail, tommie tells me he has first dibs on comforting Ivanka.

Well, he is very consequential.

Do you think Jared's attempt to set up a communications back channel with Russia is the reason he won't be given a clearance?

I don't know, ask Hillary. She put all her top secret information on a 3rd world server in the closet of a Denver apt building for the rest of our enemies to easily read? Then she had her staff erase and smash all their cell phones the FBI subpoena. But nothing to see there, right? Reckoning is coming Cinque. The corruption everyone has been talking about for 8 years is about to come crashing down if they don't burn it down before they are all indicted.

There was no classified info on Weenies computer, but there is highly classified info in the PDB and a high security risk like Jared should not have access to it. Otoh, somebody has to read them since Trump doesn't.

On Friday, the U.S. State Department released 2,800 Huma Abedin emails, which were obtained by Judicial Watch pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, in relation to the 650,000 emails the FBI found on former congressman Anthony Weiner's laptop in the weeks before the 2016 Presidential election. The emails were published on the U.S. Department of State website Friday afternoon.

According to these new emails, Anthony Weiner, husband of Huma Abedin, a longtime aide to Hillary Clinton, was in possession of classified information.

One email sent from Huma Abedin to Anthony Weiner containing the subject "Lavrov", (likely referring to Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov) includes multiple redactions.

A second email titled "mini schedule", contains former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's schedule for the day. However, part of the schedule is redacted pursuant to FOIA Exemption "B5". According to the Department of Justice FOIA Guidelines, Exemption 5 is cited in cases to protect "inter-agency or intra-agency memorandums or letters which would not be available by law to a party other than an agency in litigation with the agency."

A third email contains a title that is partially redacted, as well as multiple reactions throughout the body of the email.

Despite having no security clearance, and despite the classified material present in the Abedin emails, Weiner was never charged with improper possession of classified material. At the time, speculation that Weiner was essentially left of the hook were dismissed by legacy press.

Clintons have been corrupting politics for 3 decades. The Trump group are still rookies in comparison.

Did y'all know Jared wanted to use Russian telephony for his back channel so as to avoid US surveillance of him? Why would he do that?

There's more:

WASHINGTON A Defense Department report obtained by NBC News found that 165 defense contractors had their initial security clearances revoked last year after further investigation linked the recipients to problematic or illicit activity, including questionable financial transactions, influence by foreign governments and even felonies like pedophilia.

The report, which will be released Wednesday, shows how it is possible for people who have been compromised or who have criminal backgrounds to slip through the cracks of the preliminary background investigation and obtain access to sensitive national security-related information.

The low threshold for granting what is known as an interim security clearance should be cause for alarm inside the Trump White House, says Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., ranking member of the House Oversight Committee. Cummings cited the report in calling on the committee's Republican chair, Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, to help him investigate the "troubling irregularities" with the security clearances held by President Donald Trump's senior aides.

White House senior adviser Jared Kushner in Washington, D.C. Zach Gibson / Getty Images file
The report captured data from 200,000 applications for secret or top secret clearance by defense contractors over the past three years, many of which were not fully adjudicated until 2017. It found that 486 applicants had their clearances denied or revoked. Of those applicants, 165 had slipped through the initial round of vetting and been allowed access to sensitive information...

The most common reason for denying a security clearance, the report concluded, was related to the applicant's finances, with over 370 applicants being denied clearance for "financial considerations." Felony charges were the cause for revoking 63 clearances, and evidence of foreign influence or foreign preference was found in 56 applications.

In 151 of the cases, applicants were granted an initial security clearance that was later revoked when it was discovered the applicant withheld information. In one example, a person given interim secret clearance in 2015 was discovered in 2017 to have been found guilty of raping a child prior to applying for the clearance.
The process for obtaining an interim clearance is the same for defense contractors as for senior White House aides. The FBI is responsible for reviewing the criminal history, financial records and foreign contacts of applicants for the White House, the Department of Defense and other agencies with employees that require clearance.

As of last week, Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, had been operating with an interim security clearance rather than a permanent clearance for almost a year, according to media reports. Cummings has pressed the White House to disclose information on the status of Kushner's clearance as well as the clearance of Michael Flynn, Trump's former national security adviser, who was later fired and has now pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI

ohh really

President Donald Trump's senior adviser has been working under an interim security clearance nearly a year into the administration, as investigators continue to assess his trustworthiness and analyze his web of active foreign investments, according to two sources with knowledge of the status on Kushner's clearance.
Kushner's permanent security clearance was stalled because he initially omitted 100 foreign contacts before revising his forms three times. Kushner's complicated business interests are also being considered after he repeatedly revised financial disclosure forms. But experts said the sheer volume of his ongoing ties to foreign investors is enough to deny anyone access to classified information.

He's been downgraded to "secret" and will no longer have access to "top secret" information. I wonder if his seeking a secret Russian communication back channel that US surveillance could not penetrate is part of the reason?

Then again, maybe it's his money grubbing ways:

The Trump family's web of business and political interests is coming under intense scrutiny, with the spotlight firmly on Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law and White House senior adviser.

Kushner's family real-estate business, Kushner Companies, received hefty loans from Citigroup and private equity group Apollo Global Management last year, the New York Times reported on Wednesday.
