Jared Kushner, ..has lost his interim "top secret" security clearance. Is that a reason for him to give up his duties at the White House?

Of course it is. It's hard to see how Kushner could continue to serve as a point man for Arab-Israeli negotiations if he doesn't have access to .. highly sensitive information. And even if he were to relinquish that responsibility, his downgraded status would make it difficult for him to serve as an all-purpose counselor for his father in-law.

Yet it's important not to fixate on the security-clearance issue. Kushner's presence in the highest councils of the administration would be objectionable even if he passed his background check ...

... Kushner has been hobbled in performing duties for which he had no .. qualification .. other than having married the boss' daughter. He should pack up and return to New York.
