Probably the credit check gets some of them. Under Clinton it was drug use.
I don’t like the credit check system...if a person self discloses a bad credit number prior to hiring and has submitted to a program to repair their credit and to repay their debt, it should not preclude a good job at the white house, especially a loyal to the president sort of worker. Also credit scores are easy to correct once old debts are addressed, often within a year, especially if a person has had a history of making their payments on time over a period of 6 months!
Under Obama most of his top advisors and staff couldn’t pass a real security check. Jarrett? You’ve got to be kidding. Axelrod, all redded up from Chicago. Van Jones - you’ve got to be kidding. Anita the Maoist Dunn - No Way.
I’m worried the most about Ben Rhodes who is as close to a traitor as I’ve seen yet, despite the competition for that title.
