White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders called Democrats’ attempts to find out more about the White House’s security clearance process “sad and shameful.”
“Unlike Democrats, we want to protect people’s personal confidential information,” Sanders said on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom.” “Three million Americans have security clearances that worked for the government and by exploiting one, you’re exploiting all their personal information. Democrats know that. What they are doing is dangerous and what they are doing is sad and shameful.”

It is unclear exactly what Sanders is referencing; Democrats are trying to figure out why White House officials like Jared Kushner got high-level clearance after objections and red flags were overturned, in that case due to President Donald Trump’s personal intervention.
A whistleblower recently told House Oversight Committee chairman Elijah Cummings (D-MD) that the White House stepped in to give 25 people security clearances who had previously been denied them.
It’s also exactly what the (sane) American public wants to see. Along with the Mueller Manifesto. And your tax returns. And Melania’s immigation papers. And the Access Hollywood Tapes. And all of your school transcripts. Even your birth certificate. Etc. etc. etc.
Unlike democrats, we understand that giving up confidential security information to our foreign enemies can be quite lucrative to our personal fortunes and has the added benefit of cementing a fascist dictatorship here in the land of MAGA.
This nightmare needs to end…I spend much of my days enraged. I literally have friends, who I grew up with, who were once, what we here in Jersey call “stand up guys”, completely buying into this “Trump is a victim!” narrative.
False victim-hood has become championed in society. This is why Trump’s supporters steadfastly stand by him. They identify with him. They too, see themselves as victims. He’s become the symbol of their self-pity.
Sarah what is sad and shameful is that you are too chicken to do white house briefings anymore
Has anyone checked whether the Republican pocket Constitution is missing a few pages? Would explain quite a bit…
