This time Gowdy has real evidence to work with:

• the order of protection
• the picture
• police reports
• the first hand account of the victims
• the timeline of events regarding the background investigation from the FBI
• the ever shifting statements from administration officials

I have just heard accusations and a photo.

Who cares?

If you don't get it - you can't have that job. Simple. It's not like he's getting stoned in the public square.

Of course a wife beater would be just fine with the Trump administration anyway so it's a moot point.

Yup.
More importantly, the personnel office does not have the authority to hire or fire any high-level Cabinet staffer. That authority resides in the President's Chief of Staff.

Just watch. Trump may have hit rock bottom, but he continues to dig.

How many have these interim clearances?

Amazingly Kushner, he has been traveling around to Israel, Saudi Arabia and has access to top secret material.

Does Kushner even have the interim anymore. I thought he was on an interim but denied due to his massive foreign contacts in his previous life. I heard that the other day but not sure.
