Sixth, regarding RobS' edits of the second paragraph, Trump's bad hires cannot be blamed entirely on security clearance issues. In some cases, it was clearly due to him listening to bad advice. For example, if Rex Tillerson and H.R. McMaster could get security clearance, then Trump would've had no problem replacing them with like-minded individuals. But instead, he hired bottom-of-the-barrel people like Mike Pompeo and John Bolton. That doesn't happen due to a forced hand, no way. On a related note, the same advisers who recommended Bolton and Pompeo very likely were involved in Tillerson and McMaster being pushed out in the first place.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 14:29, February 14, 2023 (EST)

::The only reason Tillerson, McMaster, Pompeo, Bolton, Grenell et al were appointed is because they had security clearances; Flynn, Sheriff Derek Clarke, Scarramucci, Michael Cohen, Hope Hicks, Omarosa, Sydney Powell, et al were driven out or denied because the FBI holds the power over who does and who does not get a security clearance.
::Theoretically, a person can get a White House or administration job but denied a security clearance, like Jarad Kushner. Being useless in the job they are appointed then opens the president up to the charge cronyism and nepotism.
::This issue is central to Trump's feud with the [[Deep State]]. He wanted to appoint people outside the DC and globalist club, and they want to show him who really is in control and makes the decisions.
