The corrupt FBI gets to choose the heads of these departments. We are doomed!
If that is all she requires and will vote to confirm them all, go ahead. The candidates welcome it.
Aren’t FBI checks SOP? A lot of embarrassment could have been avoided already with FBI checks.
FBI background checks is normal pre Trump.
So her asking for them is not asking for things out of the ordinary.
Except. The FBI cannot be trusted. A possible response is . . . checks will be provided, in February, when the FBI’s bias is erased.
She’s trying to create hurdles I think. It’ll be something else soon...
You really want to trust the current FBI ?
Yes, for both parties.
“Aren’t FBI checks SOP? A lot of embarrassment could have been avoided already with FBI checks.”
Yes. When the FBI has not spent the last eight years lying about Trump, wiretapping Trump, aiding lawfare against Trump, etc.
One expects the FBI to make sure that no Trump appointee who would challenge their power will be confirmed. Collins probably expects the same thing.
They’re all going to have FBI checks for security clearance. That’s the way it is.
Who cares what SHE wants. The Republicans should act as if she doesn’t exist. Because as a Republican, she doesn’t.
The FBI reports it’s findings. It doesn’t have veto power over who gets confirmed.
Sure. Except the FBI works for one party and against the other.
Congratulations! That makes MORE SENSE then anything I've seen or read thus far.
Collins can drop dead.
What idiots keep re-electing her?
TOO BAD A BACKGROUND CHECK WASN’T DONE ON JOE BIDEN IN 2008.
I’ve searched that pesky constitution thingie high and low, and I can’t find any reference to fib checks for the senate being a prerequisite for the advise and consent part that is in there...
