Whoever in the US Senate that gave Hanoi Kerry
a Top Secret Clearance HAS seen all his military records.
The FBI, since 9/11, does non military clearances.
His most recent one who have been in the spring/summer of '04
when he won the dims's nomination against President Bush.
NO ONE gets a Top Secret Clearance WITHOUT agreeing to have all your records released.
OR pass a FULL FBI check when someone
runs for the highest elected
office in th ecountry.
Does the DC crowd think "We the People" are stupid?
I don't think that is completely true. Functionally there must be an exception for some elected officials. E.g. would any honest security checker have given Bubba one if he hadn't been president? Yet we can't function as a president who can't be told everything and we can't prohibit someone from being president for a series of insecure lapses in their youth... and adulthood; at least we can't prohibit them long as we continue to ignore the 14th amendment, Section 3, and Article III, Section 3. I suspect all Congress-critters (but not staff) are also exempted and also major party presidential nominees.
