Now why would President Trump want to skip the FBI investigation of his appointees? Perhaps because EVERY FBI employee is subject to having their own security clearances taken away, along with their jobs, retirements, and freedoms.
They have shown themselves to all be a huge corrupted nest of vipers.

I would trust someone randomly picked from a phone book than I would the FBI.

Maybe true. FBI vetting will surely produce fake reports in order to eliminate effective appointees in favor of Party people who will be skilled at slowing down or killing his programs.

Maybe she was properly vetted and found to be a desirable leaker.

I would not trust any FBI personnel who work the Washington Field Office nor the Hoover Building. Not even the janitors.

Why not our Security system has more holes than a sieve so go ahead!

He could hire a private team to vette them. It’s got to be better than letting the FBI getting their mitts on them

So, his ‘advisers’ recommend that Trump do exactly like every Democrat pResident has done since Clinton.And the NYT is firmly opposed.

The FBI should vet them, but Trump should review any rejected and determine if the reason is legitimate

Not with the FBI’s history of holding back information. I wouldn’t trust them at all.

Is it only DOJ that the FBI checks?
I thought DoD used its own agency for background checks...maybe it’s different now.
To: ransomnote
Not only should DJTdo his own vetting, he should immediately start revoking hundreds, if not thousands of existing security clearances . . .
