Nepotism

There's nothing wrong with nepotism as long as you keep it in the family. -- Pug Mahoney

   Can the president of the United State bypass the rules of security clearance and continue to keep his son-in-law in the top secret loop? For that matter, will the president's daughter, also a top advisor in this administration, be able to continue attending high-security sessions even after her husband has lost his security clearance?
   These are key questions after Jared Kushner failed to get full security clearance, more than a year after Inauguration Day when his father-in-law Donald Trump became president. For all that time, he had been acting as the president's top advisor, reading daily intelligence briefings and attending top secret strategy sessions. Then he lost that clearance.
   So now the president may have to decide whether he can, or should, override the recommendation of federal intelligence agencies and keep his daughter's husband at his elbow as he plans national strategy.
   And if he decides to go along with Jared's flunking the security test and expel him from the Oval Office, what will be daughter Ivanka's reaction? Will she have to choose between her husband and her father?
   Stay tuned.
