Then why even have a vetting process? In what world would anyone (including Democrats) be ok if Biden or Obama did anything close to this... I mean truly, go read the full story of just how many times Kushner was denied clearance and for what reasons. It's a fucking travesty, and defending it should embarrass you.

Also, we're not talking about just any job, we are talking about trusting this person with the highest level of secrets and sensitive information you can have access to. You don't just rubber stamp your skeezy son in law into the highest levels of security clearance, and ignore the decisions of the actual people who's literal career it is to make sure only certain people receive that access. Literally any other person on the planet wouldn't even have had a second chance, let alone like fucking 8.

I don't think you understand that the president isn't a king. This country was meant to have checks and balances to protect us from this kind of thing, but turns out all of that shit was based on the honors system. Oops.
