whatever the number was, that part of it they got backlog, caught up because so many of the people that president trump brought in, his friends, his business colleagues have extensive business holdings, have extensive foreign ties, because of the nature of their business careers and security was struggling with it. that's not normally what you have with people holding security clearances. most people don't have that. so it's very possible that for at least some of it, this was just an issue of a backlog of them struggling to figure out what to do one way or another and kline was trying to clear it out. what i am particularly worried about hopefully as the reporting continues on and i look forward to hearing more of it is whether or not improper political considerations were brought in here, particularly for the president's children, ivanka and jared kushner, particularly for people like michael flynn, who we know had issues with reporting stuff on his sf-86. we know sebastian gorka, at least allegedly had an interim security clearance despite having applied for a foreign government clearance.
