I used to be in the PRP (Personnel Reliability Program) with a top secret clearance (need to know basis). I guarded nuclear weapons for 3 years as a Marine for the Navy.
We had to go through months of background checks before getting a security clearance. One Marine I recall was kicked out of the program because he had a cousin he had never met who married a Cuban national.
How the !@#$ can Barry pass a background check for Presidential access to highly classified material?
