Here's a question I want someone to ask: If Hillary wins and appoints Jake Sullivan to National Security Advisor, could he serve?
-
-
GWB White House had pardoned convicted felons on staff w/TS+ clearances. President is ultimate SSO w/class-declass authority
-
Right. And Plame case all premised on claim they have unlimited authority over Classified info.
-
Yes but their authority cant cross line to crimes. Betraying secrets in interest treason or in violation of oath is not covered

the president, as CIC, sets by executive order the rules for access to classified; it would be awkward, but what the hell.
-
Yup, writing about that this second.

you think if Republicans keep the senate they'll do all they can to keep anyone in her emails from getting confirmed? I do.
-
Absolutely. But if Hillary wins, likely they lose Senate. & she can always appoint to White House position to avoid confirmation

Have you written on what you consider the proper basis for clearance? Starting up a new system, as it were.

Appointments serve at the pleasure of the POTUS, so if she gets off on it there is nothing anyone can do about it.
