but back in the Summer, it was discovered in (to be fair, extremely well-buried) court documents that President Trump actually had an active security clearance for files pertaining to national security, specifically nuclear armaments. In fact, the same classified documents he is accused of having stolen and retained, hidden in his bathroom at his golf course in Florida, on leaving the White House.

The Yankee Department Of Energy appears to have missed it too as they have only just now belatedly suggested that this clearance probably ought to be revoked. You know, now that DJT is actually under criminal investigation regarding his illegal and traitorous retention of said papers. lol.

Joking aside, however, the REAL prize question is: Why would "President" Trump have such a clearance in the first place? Presidents don't get them; they don't need them as the whole security apparatus is created for, and maintained by, the president, in any case.

Answer: He actually got the security clearance BEFORE he was elected and he's been working with, or "snitching" for, if you prefer, the secret services the whole time and all the spying-for Putin accusations was just a convenient cover-story that was cooked up and that folk have been all too ready to believe.

He did say he caught them all. Maybe he did.
