Bill Clinton basically did away with background checks and security investigations for clearances, for a lot of positions,since so many people he appointed or hired could never have passed one
Including himself.
Back then it was was mostly about covering up drug use, now it is about all kinds of abysmal peverted behaviors and corruption
It is Bush’s shame that he kept so many of these slugs in their govt jobs and positions - and caveled to the democrats- just being such a get-along go along gentleman with the democrats and all that crap, as if it made them like and respect him, like when he gave Nancy Pelosi a big hug and the keys to her BIG personal govt airplane
Many faceless underlings in our govt - and their overlods like Pelsoi and Reid- spent 8 years eating the underbelly of our government, in rage and spite at Bush being in office
as far as security investigations of obama and his legion of appointees- fergetaboutit.
I imagine Valerie Jarrett runs all that now, except they did turn over the State Department to the ambitious but perennially incompetent Hillary Rodham.
Bill’s peeps must not be taking care of Hillary, or she doesn’t trust them to do so and has her own legion of loyal largely metrosexual incompetents
you are correct that if checks were being done ... traffic would fall by fifty percent.
Excellent points, that this began under Clinton and that Bush passively perpetuated it. Obama’s murky background is really a continuation of Clinton’s couldn’t get a security clearance situation. Creepy and frightening.
