Sad to see that the standard has gotten so low that people are defending PP simply for having a reason for getting it, regardless of how stupid and dangerous that reason is. “Well, he has a reason” is not enough.
Regardless, the same probe that finds there to be no “traitors” (as in, nobody in the government acting on behalf of a foreign entity) did find evidence of persuasion and attempts to influence, something PP should want to know if he’s a rational person who is not merely pretending to care about foreign interference. The probe also makes the conclusion that party leaders should, as soon as possible after they become leaders, get the necessary security clearance.
PP might have a reason. Golly, what an accomplishment. But while it’s consistent with his desire to play games and spread misinformation, it’s inconsistent with someone who cares about foreign interference, so he should shut his mouth and let the adults who actually know something about it handle the talking.
