In reply to the discussion: Trump Ordered Officials to Give Jared Kushner a Security Clearance [View all]ROB-ROX
(767 posts)43. CLEARANCES ARE NOT EASY TO BE EARNED
I had heard the WH is a "Q" clearance area. I had a "Q" clearance for 34 years. The government spends $10,000 during the process (every 5 years) to ensure a clearance can be granted. Part of the process is to visit with people who live on your block. A "top secret" clearance ain't "crap" when the "Q" is the next step higher clearance. I think any administrative assistance could "escort" a person with a lower clearance. I have escorted people who only had "top secret." Sharing "Q" information would be against the law or entering a "Q" area un-escorted would be illegal. The GOP thinks not everyone requires the correct clearance because many of their clowns would not be granted a clearance.........
