Yes, I forgot about that tidbit. How were these people allowed into positions that effected our national security???
That IS the $64M question, isn't it?
IMO, they don't believe in nations, think they are privileged citizens of the world and seem convinced that there are no security risks, to them, except, of course, the threats from Republicans.
I think the hiring is done on a *who you know and what is your background* basis, or , at least it was. Membership in one or more elites trumps anything meaningful, like loyalty to the USA. Not sure if anything has changed, either.
