White House alerted 2 weeks ago to ongoing issues in Jared Kushner's security clearance

[spanone]

A top Justice Department official alerted the White House two weeks ago that significant information requiring additional investigation would further delay the security clearance process of senior adviser Jared Kushner, according to three people familiar with the discussion.

The Feb. 9 phone call from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to White House Counsel Donald McGahn came amid growing public scrutiny of a number of administration officials without final security clearances. Most prominent among them is Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law, who has had access to some of the nation's most sensitive material for the last year while waiting for his background investigation to be completed.

A week after the call from Rosenstein, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly announced that staffers whose clearances have not been finalized will no longer be able to view top-secret information - meaning that Kushner could stand to lose his status as early as Friday.

As president, Trump can grant Kushner a high-level security clearance, even if his background investigation continues to drag on. But Trump said Friday that he would leave that decision to Kelly.

1. The Mueller investigation is closing in fast.....

I believe the warning 2 weeks ago is because Jared's lack of security clearance has been going on way too long and the Mueller Investigation has turned up things that are going to have Jared and the Trump family in handcuffs soon.....

4. It may not just be Kushner in this situation

Not that long ago MSNBC had reported that as many as 130 security clearances were held up. Could that mean that there could be up to 130 more individuals in the White House who are under investigation by Mueller's team?

2. It seems Jared's resolution of personal difficulties....

.... may hold precedence over his concerns for protection of top secret national security issues.

This boy is ripe for involvement in blackmail, espionage, and/or treason.

3. Lest we forget ...

Is there any reason to believe he doesn't have a back channel to Russia?
