A memo circulating in Donald Trump’s orbit says that if elected he should use private firms to check appointees’ backgrounds and give them immediate access to classified secrets after taking office.
This is exactly what you’d do if your circle was filled with Russian agents.
American and want to stop this? Vote for Harris & volunteer for her campaign
he gave them to people that the fbi said shouldn’t have them. scotus said he could do anything officially he wants. so why would he bother with a screening process? he’s going to give them to whoever he wants to anyway.
Because by having a private company “screen” people there’s added corruption.
He gets to simply sell clearances to private companies.
Which is one of many reasons it’s important to not elect him.
I assume the POTUS, who is the source of all classification, could have always just given clearance to whomever they wanted. I doubt the scotus ruling has anything to do with this.
