As so many others have noted - omissions on SF-86 can result in revocation of security clearance plus criminal charges, dishonorable discharge, etc., depending on who is involved (civilian vs military).

A military official who lies by omission on the form? Dishonorable discharge, plus potential criminal charges.

A Trump official? So far, not a goddamned thing and that’s applicable to Sessions and Kushner. Who knows who else at this point too - like say - Pence.

Of course, the simplest answer to all this is IOKIYAR.

One of the RWNJ favorite taunts in ‘16 was that if [X person in Y agency] had done what HRC had done, regarding the private server (or something), he or she would have been [fired, imprisoned, executed].

Now…”Oh let’s not engage in finger pointing or penalize people for innocent mistakes.”
