Kevin Doherty, a special agent with the Department of Energy, has been charged by police for the attempted murder of Burkman
Seth Rich. We know now Seth was the leakier: Im definitely for making an example of a suspected leaker wether or not we have any real basis for it. John Podesta, 22 Feb 2015
"Q clearance" is a department of energy security clearance. No other agency that I'm aware of it uses it.
Are you saying this guy is Q? Not buying it. Sounds like the work of the bad guys to me.
"A former Marine, who claims to have worked as a special agent
with the Department of Energy, has been charged with shooting
and running over Republican lobbyist Jack Burkman,
who conducted a controversial investigation of former DNC staffer Seth Richs murder.
Kevin Doherty, 46, was charged Monday with
Use of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony
and two counts of Malicious Wounding,
....
Burkman moved away from the Rich investigation in recent months.
His latest project involved a $25,000 reward for information from FBI whistleblowers about bureau officials handling
of the Clinton email and Russia investigations.
It was for that project Burkman was visiting the Virginia parking garage.
He believed he would be retrieving a Justice Department inspector generals report
on former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who was fired last Friday."
Yes, a Q is a DOE term. I believe that today the term is somewhat used synonymously with TS/SCI clearances - because both clearances involve the same level. A Q or a TS/SCI require the highest possible FBI and other background checks.
I had a TS/SCI. We called it that, not Q. But the term "Q Clearance" is probably used interchangeable with TS/SCI in some government circles today.
