Did Trump Himself Have To Fill Out Security Clearance Forms?......

[global1]

Just listening to a DVR of Rachael's Show from last night and she is talking about Sessions, Flynn and Kushner failing to list any meetings they had with Russia on these 'security clearance forms'. This begged the question for me - did Trump have to frill out this 'security clearance form' as well? As president or president-elect - he might not have been required to maybe. But as candidate Trump - after he won the Repug primary and during the run-up to the Nov election - might he have been required to fill out a 'security clearance form' and if so - did he list any meetings with Russia that he might have had - or did he not cite that info.

I'm curious now after listening to Rachael.

1. The President does not require a security clearance

2. That is a very interesting question

I hope someone has the answer, how about before he is President. After being nominated?

4. During The Run-Up To The Nov Election And After The Primary Weren't Both Candidates.....

Clinton and Trump given certain security briefings? Wouldn't they have to be cleared first? I'm sure Hillary had all the security clearances she needed as she was SOS and part of the current administration at the time. But what about Trump. Wouldn't he have to be cleared?

5. It's the most underappreciated feature of Putin's plan

Putin got the master key to all the locks

6. And what type of security clearance do they get?

I wish all our Presidential/VP candidates could have a Yankee White like or higher clearance. Thanks for asking this, it's been on my mind too.

7. You have identified a huge flaw in the effectiveness of our security clearance process...

It must be applicable to 100% of all persons with access to secure levels of info....

Or it is worthless...
