Obama and the Democrats really love those felons. In California for instance, Moonbeam Jerry Brown wants to give felons the right to vote. Under Obama, felons, including pedophiles. Democrats, especially Maryland Democrat Elijah Cummings always seem to have a soft spot for pedophiles for whatever reason.

In even more irony, the NBC story that actually reports about this story uses the photo of Jared Kushner for their story. Not pictures of Elijah Cummings, Obama or actual felons or pedophiles who get security clearance under Obama..
An actual child rapist was given security clearance by Obama in 2015.
The report captured data from 200,000 applications for secret or top secret clearance by defense contractors over the past three years, many of which were not fully adjudicated until 2017. It found that 486 applicants had their clearances denied or revoked. Of those applicants, 165 had slipped through the initial round of vetting and been allowed access to sensitive information.
The most common reason for denying a security clearance, the report concluded, was related to the applicant’s finances, with over 370 applicants being denied clearance for “financial considerations.” Felony charges were the cause for revoking 63 clearances, and evidence of foreign influence or foreign preference was found in 56 applications.
In 151 of the cases, applicants were granted an initial security clearance that was later revoked when it was discovered the applicant withheld information. In one example, a person given interim secret clearance in 2015 was discovered in 2017 to have been found guilty of raping a child prior to applying for the clearance.
