I call bull on that. That is pure legalism from the deep state. If any employee of an agency can enter a SCIF then so can the appointed leader of that agency.

legalism

noun

US

/ˈliː.ɡəl.ɪ.zəm/ UK

/ˈliː.ɡəl.ɪ.zəm/

the practice of following the law very closely, especially by paying more attentionto rules and details than to the intentions behind them

Good post—legalism is what got us where we are today.

SCIF security protocols are a part of that—and have created a climate where secret operations against the American people can be taken with senior official deniability.

That must stop.

"If any employee of an agency can enter a SCIF then so can the appointed leader of that agency."

Not just any employee can -- see #24. As for visitors/VIPs/etc, normally credentials are passed via a formal visit request procedure.

My suspicion is that the AG wanted to specifically conduct a surprise visit to insure that something nefarious wasn't done to interfere with the goals of her inspection, so TECHNICALLY, it is likely that she was properly denied access... though I really wouldn't want to be "that guy" who told her "no".

Yup.

I agree that is complete bull. She’s the US attorney general, the head of the department of justice for crying out loud. She can have access to whatever she wants.

This interview on Benny Johnson podcast with a former FBI agent, Kyle Seraphim, now whistleblower, is very enlightening. Kyle speaks on the corrupt rogue FBI and the attitude that they are above the law and operate outside the parameters of our US constitution and government.
Benny's longer live show that day has lots more details, this is an excerpt from that.
