no a single security clearance for any of the hundred white house correspondents operating freely in offices inside the white house, 30 feet from the president's desk.
correspondents who were often college political extremists and who work for corporations owned in part or wholly by China?
what could possibly go wrong?
why the fuck are any of them in the white house building to begin with?
imagine china staffing or influencing an "NSA correspondents association" or a "CIA correspondents association". inside the NSA or CIa complexes, with offices next to the directors and with no background checks or security clearances?
it's beyond ludicrous and has been an active natsec threat or a long time now.
