Umm... don’t all WH employees and all those who have access to the president, need security clearances, and therefore vetting. We are not talkinga about Senate approval. We are talking about background checks to insure they are not a danger to the president and those around him.
Excellent point!
How did they vet BHO w/o a birth certificate? Nuclear power at his fingertips.
Oh they were vetted, but who put the qwa-eeeetus on the results.
I bet a hundred bucks the FBI is dieing for someone to ask.
Yep. That is what happened allright.
The CEQ is allowed three top officials, each of the three must be confirmed by the US Senate.
It is my understanding that one of the three of these then in turn appointed Mr. Jones.
Mr. Jones in turn did not need to be confirmed by the Senate.
I do not know to what extent he has a security clearance. It is true he is probably allowed into controlled sections of the Executive Office Building, or New Executive Office Bldg, wherever CEQ business takes him. There may have been a form he had to fill out listing any kinds of baggage, so that is also a smoking gun. The FBI background check of him needs to be confirmed.
As of 1993, the admission of being a member of a communist organization being a kiss of death for such a position, was eliminated and de-stygmitized.
