It is extremely odd that he is traveling to these countries like Saudi Arabia, Israel and China instead of the secretary of state. Imagine the reaction from James Baker or Brzezinski if the presidents son in law took trips like this in their place, they would be gone in minutes. He has absolutely no experience in foreign affairs, no secret clearance but here he is leading the charge. It sure gives the appearance of a promo for investors.
Kushner's sister used her brother and Trump to seek investors in China right after the election, the endless search for investors continues. So strange that with interest rates so low they can't get loans the old fashioned way through US banks.
Successful American businessmen can always get US funding in a booming economy, whatever the interest rates.
Kelly is downgrading security clearance for everyone not already cleared due to the recent scandal. That includes Jared Kushner. Why he's not able to get full security clearance is a mystery to me?
1) He's been caught lying by omission about his history of foreign dealing more than once.
2) His family company is reported to be in serious trouble.
This is the hill that Kelly has decided to live or die on. He's not wrong for restricting Jared, in actuality, Kushner should likely have zero clearance given his constant revisions and "errors", but we all know that Cheeto VonTinyhands will have an issue with having his future ex-wife's husband and by extension her left out of the loop.
A good thorough analysis of why Jared Kuchner hasn't been able to get security clearance. The four foreign governments discussing his vulnerabilities is only part of the problem:
Another part is Jared is eschewing normal protocol by having meetings with foreign officials with no experts in the room with him or sometimes alone.
What foreign dignitary wouldn't want to meet with an official from the US government with no experience and has no idea how international diplomacy, trade, law or customs work? He would be so easy to take advantage of, it's no wonder diplomats from at least 4 countries wanted to meet with Jared.

It seemed with Trump's long winded, rambling repose (3 minutes 6 seconds) to last week's question posed to him, in which Trump repeated several times that Kushner is doing a great job and Kelly will do the right thing regarding Kushner's security clearance, was Trump's attempt to sound fair and removed from the decision yet trying to guide Kelly against demoting Kushner's security clearance level.
Jared Kushner regularly meets and conducts business with foreign governments, unsupervised, and out of the country.
Is he fully vetted to even be in the White House?
And
Was any lack of full clearance a result of him failing to claim all those off shore accounts and dealings on his application following the win?
He has an interim clearance because he has not yet been thoroughly reviewed.
Crow about it after his review is completed. Until then nothing to see here.
Makes you wonder how Obama hired a communist in Van Jones as the green energy czar and then fired him when Glenn Beck ratted him out.

As Trump supporters like to cite, "What is taking so long? It's been over a year."
I think it has more to do with the points and articles many have posted here.
