Could be a way to catch them, though, having already vetted separately.

So he’s going to use today’s FBI to check on his nominees? Big mistake.

Hopefully the agreement has some method for auditing materials collected.

Mistake?? Please....I'm sure the FBI already has all they need to make a decision. These candidates are not new to the political/social world.

The agreement is just part of the process. No big deal in the real world.

It’s no coincidence that Trump’s nominees are making the rounds with Repub senators right now. So, it either means they gave nominees an ultimatum - background checks or a likely ‘no’ vote on confirmation - or - some are ‘no’ votes and Trump is removing this excuse.

Was she ever in a position that required a back ground check such as a director of an agency. She was an advisor. They should, but are checks done on advisors ?

I don’t think back ground checks are done on congress either.

I gave up on that.

Probably sounded like a concern troll during the election :)

“omg he said that?!? he’s done!!”

“oh no, he did what?!?! he’s done!!”

Etc :)
