Star Member MrScorpio (68,615 posts)Twenty years ago, when I picked up an assignment to an Intel Squadron after Europe...I had to qualify for a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information upgrade to my security clearance. So I got all the instructions, carefully filled out my SF-86 completely and truthfully, signed and submitted it and after a few months, I received my clearance upgrade. It wasn't that hard for me. It's not that hard at all for anyone who tells the truth and does it correctly. So, when I see that so many of the people who require security clearances in the Trump White House haven't yet received them after about a year and a half from the time they were informed that they would need them, it only goes to show that there's definitely something real shady about these mother****ers. REALLY shady, REALLY Super shady. Hell... I doubt that even Trump couldn't score a security clearance if he was already President. This shit is not normal. Nothing about these assholes in the Executive Branch is normal at all. There's still more stuff to reveal about what these mother****ers have been up to that has caused their clearances to be held up. There's nothing preventing that from happening, other than the prevention of full disclosure. Which means that both the press and the Congress needs to get to the bottom of this bullshit. This is some really important shit. It also gets to the heart of what this administration has been up to. So when the last chapter of the book on these people has been finally penned, harken back to the fact that their clearances were not granted in a timely manner. As a matter of fact, anyone who doesn't yet HAVE a clearance to do their gawd-damned jobs should be considered as another "scandal" waiting to happen. It's simple; no clearance means that they're shady and ****. The White House leadership is well aware of their shadiness, and instead of letting them go, they're trying to slide these shady as **** mother****ers under the door. That should not be allowed. Watch this space for further updates.94

Not only did my brother have to go through the wringer for his security clearanceHis wife, who is from Japan, had to give up her Japanese citizenship and become an American citizen. She was furious at the rule, but she did it, since my brother's job would not have survived a refusal on her part. It was ridiculous, since if she was a secret agent of Japan, she was every bit as capable of carrying out her assigned tasks as a US citizen as she would have been as a citizen of Japan. As it is, once in Washington, she rose to vice-director for Asia at the World Bank, a position rather higher than her future as a bank teller (about as high-ranking a bank position as a woman could expect to reach in Japan in 1980). But her position didn't depend on her citizenship, but rather on the fact that she could commute from Langley into downtown Washington every day.

The FBI actually interviewed the people whose names I supplied as references, along with neighbors and others. I had disclosed that I had received mail from Soviet bloc countries, and explained why I had received that mail. I was interviewed about that in detail, and my explanation of being an avid short-wave radio listener who had sent reception reports to various radio stations was apparently OK. During my time in the USAF Security Service, my clearance was upgraded several times, eventually reaching the highest possible levels of compartmented access. That occurred when I was assigned to duties inside the NSA building at Ft. George Meade in Maryland. The point is that the process, at least then, was very thorough and very efficient. All information I included on that form was thoroughly checked. Since there was nothing negative, I was cleared. But, until the clearance was granted, I did not have access to any classified information, and each time there was an upgrade in my clearance level, I did not have access to materials that required that level of clearance until that level was confirmed. The laxity of security in the White House is shocking. Either things have changed or rules are being ignored.
Rule number 1: You never discuss clearance past, present or future on an open channel. These plebeian morassian sphincter bravadian loathians should just STFU.
