Do you think Sarah Huckabee Sanders...

doesn't want to do White House Daily Press Briefings because she will probably be asked about her own interim security clearance and what she knows about why it hasn't been made permanent?

This is in addition to the myriad of other reasons why she might not want to participate.

or will the cowards cancel again?

I normally avoid watching Sanders but I want to see that liar squirm.

I have no idea why Sarah's clearance is hung up. SO, inquiring minds want to know.

If asked, Sarah will give the usual response that the WH doesn't discuss security matters. In the meanwhile, there are several high-level WH officials without hard passes (assumably at this point, because of derogatory information in their background investigation) with daily access to TS/SCI information. Such a breach of national security is unconscionable.

Remind me again about the problem with Hillary's e-mail server.

why her undies get all wadded up when someone asks about John Kelly’s lies about the Rob Porter timeline? As good a liar as she is, seems she doesn’t appreciate lying to cover Kelly’s lies. Come on Sarah! Take one for the team!

This could get gooooooood.

And, by that, I don't mean she's believable, just that it seems to come easily to her. She doesn't seem to have any compunctions about saying anything in defense of Trump even when everyone has to know it's not true.

But by good, I mean that she’s impressively quick on her feet with a steady stream of lies. I thought KAC was good but SHS is a freaking champion at it. No wonder Spicey got kicked to the curb.

I'm not into a "Mother of the Year" contest. I'd rather stick to facts.

Most people around here could probably find one reason or another to question my style of parenting.

why someone would be denied clearance. I think it was on Rachel. It could be past drugs use, a lot of debt, etc. One former member of the White House staff said that when he got his they were so thorough that they went to this little village in another country to speak to people he worked with while he was a Jesuit.

I've been trying not to be so cynical about such things, but I just can't shut down my inquisitive nature.

There's a lot of money in religion.

On the other hand, there's not a lot of money in Arkansas.

when I applied for a position as an academic librarian at the US Air Force Academy. I was amazed that they would be that thorough. I suppose that if I had accepted the job I might have had access to some classified documents or maybe they were scared that I'd try to pick up on the cadets. My how times have changed, eh?

Old Sarah is nasty enough that it wouldn't surprise me if there was something nasty in her past as well. Maybe she'll get replaced by the Mooch.
