Due to lack of transparency from the Trump admin we are left to guess.. According to the FBI and also looking at "known" standard process, the FBI does the background checks, then the WH uses the BG checks to issues the clearances after that. ( no idea what process the WH goes through to do that)

Anyway, the FBI says they've done their part (ie the background checks) however the WH hasnt followed through with their part..

My guess is as we've seen so many times, Trump's WH is under staffed and barely functions from day to day.. This is why other admins dont do blanket firings of the previous staff like Trump did..

Other admins are smart enough to know they need time to fill positions and train their people. Trump on the other hand "knew it all" so he fired all the previous staffers and then had no one to train his people or do basic tasks..

In other words, Trump created a giant clusterfuck and still a year later they aren't doing basic things... This is why during the 1st week of Trump's presidency, they were holding meetings in the dark, because they had no one who knew where the light switches were (true story).
