Well of course he did. Kushner is married to Daddy’s Favorite, which is way more important than national security. Know what not taking government seriously looks like? It looks like this.
Thread, by @charlie_simpson on security clearances, which thousands of Americans have, & which are not easy to get.
Another thread on Kushner, this one by @LorenRaeDeJ. Unless you’ve worked in government, it’s hard to grasp how demoralizing it can be to deal with leaders who don’t value their organization’s mission.
Does a Top Secret security clearance gifted to the massively conflicted Son-In-Law by his father have any legal implications? @ThePlumLineGS has been doing some research, and thinks it might.

Writing in @BulwarkOnline, @AJNolte44 has an explanation of white evangelicals' idolatrous devotion to Donald Trump that takes, it seems to me, the long way around the bush (HT @SykesCharlie for this). A much simpler explanation would attribute evangelical Trumpism....[thread]
....to evangelical decay. Trump's depraved morals don't put off evangelicals tolerant of depraved morals; his white racism doesn't repel white racists. Evangelicals attracted to dubious theological innovations like the prosperity gospel or prone to apocalyptic thinking...
...may well applaud Trump, who defines himself in public by vulgar displays of wealth & enemies he wants to destroy. But there is nothing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Trump; as Nolte notes, evangelicals who take their faith more seriously tend to be less supportive of him.

There a really excellent conversation on @vox between @delong and @zackbeauchamp on what DeLong sees as the Democrats' necessary shift to the left. It deserves some thought. I don't mean by this what regular readers will have observed I often mean... vox.com/policy-and-pol…
2... which is something like, "this is wrong, and here's some thought on why it is wrong." I don't think @delong is wrong on the political dynamics at work, or how Democrats in national politics have misjudged them over the last quarter century.
3. Republicans, from top to bottom, have stuck to a disciplined and often zealous pursuit of electoral base mobilization and party unity -- in effect, giving veto power over legislative action to the GOP's most extreme elements, and to right-wing media.

In a previous life, I spent a lot of time in Cong. hearings. To get information from a witness on record, providing a hook for further investigation, you do what @RepAOC does here. Pick a topic or theme, name your source(s), ask your questions. Impressively staffed & executed.
Addendum to the clip above. Can’t praise enough this @byrdinator piece on how junior Oversight Committee Democrats prepped for their Michael Cohen hearing questions. @renato_mariotti makes an appearance. cnn.com/2019/02/28/pol…
Adding a backgrounder on the Michael Cohen hearing from @danielmarans & @PaulBlu to this thread. It says something interesting about the role of Congressional staff, whose traditional near-anonymity may not be possible to maintain in our time. huffpost.com/entry/alexandr…

#Thread If I were Obama.
If I was Obama on January 5, 2017 sitting in the WH meeting with my AG, FBI, DOJ, Perkins Coie Counsel, WH counsel, ODNI, CIA etc.. with a portfolio of data we manufactured, collated, paid for and collected and an EO I had just singed in Dec of 2016 (1)
An Executive Order that makes it the law of the land "Taking Additional Steps to Address the National Emergency With Respect to Significant Malicious Cyber-Enabled Activities" calling our #russia and all the entities we referenced in our "Portfolio" (2)

A portfolio we had in our hands that was lack luster, circular and completely manufactured... If I was Obama I would gear up and call upon all those "of our unique and comprehensive system of alliances and partnerships" to join me. To join me (3)

Gemalto has apologised for publishing erroneous report on Aadhaar data breach. But why would a world class firm mislead the people of India? What has Gemalto to gain from it? Does Gemalto has stakes in #Aadhaar? Lets see which journalist has the courage to report this.
To understand whats really going on you must first know the background of Gemalto and where it comes from, that would bring things into clear perspective. Then we would address the Aadhaar issue and how the People of India is being mislead by UIDAI.

Neville Pattinson Vice President, Government affairs at Gemalto is board member of Smart Card Alliance a RFID industry group, also serving US Department of Homeland Security's Data Privacy & Integrity Advisory Committee - inchanrge of various Govts biometric programs like Aadhaar

Random Critic from the Internet explains how things work.

According to his bio, my critic here has never served in the military, never worked in government, or been employed by a company that would require a federal security clearance.

1/
Which is probably why he has no goddamned idea what he's talking about or any understanding of the implications.

Folks, there is a difference between CLEARANCE and ACCESS.

2/
Clearance has nothing to do with "need to know."

Clearance is based on the security requirements of a particular job.

Clearance is the maximum level of classified material you have been authorized to POTENTIALLY access.

Accessible introductory information (as it sticks closely to the #PrimarySource, the #Senate's #CIA #TortureReport):

" Read the Senate’s executive summary of the CIA torture report
The report found that the methods used by the CIA were more brutal than the agency acknowledged either to Bush administration officials or to the public. "

"the CIA itself determined from its own experience with coercive interrogations,that such techniques'do not produce intelligence,"will probably result in false answers,'& had historically proven to be ineffective…[🤔]#futurepresident #withthestrokeofapen" assets.documentcloud.org/documents/1377…
