I fail to reconstruct how the situation with the security clearance form might’ve happened. What has it to do with “email”? If Kushner used a paper form, he himself had to sign it and certify that the information was complete and correct (with penalties if not!). If it was software online, it’s made fool proof, such as it’s not possible to submit information accidentally while the form is incomplete, and it’s reviewed before submitting.

I assume they might’ve used the eQIP online form.

Each section of the eQIP has a validation feature that precludes you from jumping ahead to other sections. If you fail to fully answer a question, the system will not allow you to proceed.

And the form is very clear about listing contacts with foreign businesses, governments and their establishments (such as embassies and representatives).

Second, it’s not where Kushner should come as “inexperienced”, in fact it’s supposed to be the opposite. He’s a business owner who deals with government forms on a regular basis (with full responsibility to provide true and complete information), not some naive college student.
