Trump officials to receive immediate clearances and easier FBI vetting

Donald Trump’s transition team is planning for all political appointees to receive sweeping security clearances on the first day and only face FBI background checks after the incoming administration takes over the bureau and its own officials are installed in key positions, according to people familiar with the matter.
The move appears to mean that Trump’s team will continue to skirt FBI vetting and may not receive classified briefings until Trump is sworn in on 20 January and unilaterally grant sweeping security clearances across the administration.
Trump’s team has regarded the FBI background check process with contempt for months, a product of their deep distrust of the bureau ever since officials turned over transition records to the Russia investigation during the first Trump presidency, the people said.

Trump’s team have long viewed the process with suspicion, arguing that it was pointless to have government employees have the ability to recommend against granting a security clearance given Trump has the power, as president, to ultimately give clearances to whomever he likes.

Good for Trump. This is why the powers that be tried to stop him.

I mean trying to skirt around FBI background checks is a tell. Senators that agree to this are abrogating their responsibilities.

Sure and he can give them to people that shouldn’t have them. That’s not a good thing.

You mean like a cross dressing transvestite who steals luggage from the airport?

You mean like the criminals and unqualified folks in current regime ? All passed by the trusted 3 letter non-elected bureaucrats?

Good move, he has learned so much! Never trust FBI insurrectionists.

As long as you're good with it becoming commonplace in the future and don't bitch about it when the other team does the same......let 'er rip.

Trump has valid reasons not to trust the FBI. This ain't on Trump.
