LIZ SHELD’S MORNING BRIEF (SLIGHTLY DELAYED EDITION): Kushner’s security clearance, no wall deal, and much, much more. “I’ve heard people in the administration complain that the security clearance system has been weaponized by anti-Trump deep-staters who slow-walk and obstruct pro-Trump people from getting jobs that need clearances. So here I see a story written by the lead cheerleader for the firm that peddled the salacious and unverified pee-pee dossier used as a pretense to spy on the Trump campaign and I don’t immediately trust the story. One other thing: where did this story come from? Did some ‘sources’ just contact NBC News out of the blue or was there a special interest pushing this story into the news cycle when it really is barely relevant to current events? Cui bono?”
