Indeed I did say that and was opposed by quite a few people on the left when I did. Can’t remember if you were one of them. However, he did not override the usual practice here as the quotes I posted show. If you are saying he did, give us a link.
Don’t think anyone will be taking your “advice”. Anyone with more than a couple of brain cells knows that if he was not Trump’s S-I-L, he would not have received his security clearance.
I wish I could look it up on the old board, but I feel fairly certain that YOU had stated more than once that the president had the final say on who could get security clearance.
Are you accusing career intelligence and FBI men and women of letting that influence their decision? I thought it was highly unpatriotic to cast aspersions on them?
And no need to look it up, I already said in this thread that I did indeed say nobody could stop him if he chose to grant him a security clearance no matter what the FBI or intelligence agencies had to say about it and that remains true. But that isn’t what happened here.
