I appreciate your input.
I was merely going by the information I discovered, but if you know they don’t care about it, then it isn’t an issue.
Thank you.
tom h is pointing out to you that the reason this is a non-starter is that all these people, once elected, are endowed with the Public Trust, hence they are not subject to a security clearance, regardless that members of their staff are. They are given access to Top Secret, highly confidential material because the people in this country have allowed it to be so, no other reason than that. If this was something that really concerned people, there would be more of an issue made over character, past behavior, troubling associates/friends/longtime relationships. I've posted on other threads, BECAUSE they receive instant access to this stuff through their being endowed with the Public Trust, the first obligation of the voter is to determine whether or not they are
trustworthy.
It is not tom h to whom you need to question whether or not this is an issue, nor even others here on Free Republic. I would suggest that you make this information known to the wider circle of your own friends, associates, who may not be aware that Reps, Senators, Pres and Veep are all able to look at whatever TS info they wish, sit on the Intell committees, deal with all manner of shady characters, no stopping them and tell them they may wish to investigate into the backgrounds of their favored candidates a mite further than they have previously.
