A security clearance is a status granted to individuals allowing them access to classified information, whether it be state or organizational secrets or to restricted areas, after completion of a thorough FBI background check.

@POTUS tweets his concern that “lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation” Is this the same alligator, or crocodile who has been handing out a crock of pile his entire life by making outrageous, unsubstantiated claims about individuals or things, without showing any proof? http://politics.doseofnews.com/
Many would agree that his message should be constant - Domestic abuse is totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated. A police report and a black eye cannot be considered allegations never ever. This I can tell you.

Where does the buck really stop, folks? The Dow Jones industrials keep falling more than 1,150 points, making it the largest single-day point drop, erasing its gains for the year. What is @POTUS saying?
Is there one person, or any group responsible for creating chaos and confusion? @POTUS took credit when the market was up, so why is he not saying anything now? @realDonaldTrump regularly touts stock market gains. Why didn't he mention the sell-off at today's Ohio speech? Is he clueless?

Whatever happened to Mexico will pay for the wall... I'll drain the swamp and so many other so-called bait and switch moves... Has he hired the best people? Are these actions intended to build up or to destroy?
There have been massive firings from people chosen by @POTUS along with an amazing wave of Congressmen who are choosing to retire. Additionally, there is a lack of stability as one day its one thing and the next moment it is another. It appears that under the present administration, being a public servant is a not an easy job, and it’s not likely to improve.
Actions over the past few days have undermined the right’s Trump-Russia conspiracy theory and its headed in the wrong direction.
Furthermore, a Nunes authored Congressional memo contradicts a right-wing belief about what prompted the investigation into the President’s ties to Russia.
