Harold Ford, Jr.—Sure, Hillary Could Still Get a Security Clearance
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/06/2016 7:23:00 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Trump surrogates have been accused of debasing themselves by supporting The Donald. But have any sunk so low as poor Harold Ford, Jr., the Hillary surrogate who humiliated himself today on national TV?

Appearing on With All Due Respect, former Dem congressman Ford, disagreed with Rudy Giuliani’s statement made earlier in the day that Hillary Clinton could not get a security clearance given FBI Director Comey’s conclusion that she acted “extremely carelessly” in the handling of classified material. When Ford claimed that if he were Attorney General, he would hire Hillary for a sensitive position involving national security, it seemed that host Mark Halperin could be heard, off camera, literally laughing in his face. Remind us never to hire Ford as Attorney General.

Pathetic: Harold Ford, Jr. says if he were Attorney General he’d hire Hillary for a sensitive security position.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

And if I recall, Ann Coulter considered her one of the more “reasonable” Democrats.

The President doesn’t require a security clearance. At least this was the case when I was an FSO in 1999.

“..The President doesn’t require a security clearance...”

He could not / would not provide enough information to get TOP SECRET because much of his personal information was deliberately HIDDEN under lock and key by executive order (I believe) when he first because “president”. This of course was done to hide WHO AND WHAT he really is.

What a horrid joke upon the American people.

That's why he would never be named Attorney General.

BTW, Harold Jr. was at one time considered a "rising star" in the Democrat party.

Yes, he was a congressman from Tennessee. He ran against Bob Corker for the US Senate in 2006, but Corker defeated him. I think Ford has been out of politics since then. I’m surprised to see him pop up on the news, he’s been away from politics so long.

Yes Harold at Walmart’s maybe but in the US government with honest people doing the background check? Never. Now if you mean she could get a clearance if James Carville or some other crooked Democrat was doing the vetting ..... that’s a cinch.

oh, didn’t realize Ford was on Morning Joe all the time. I never watch those morning shows, and never watch MSNBC.

He used to be fairly regular, but became less so. It was only recently he has been popping up more frequently, perhaps because of the election cycle. I used to find him fairly objective, but it is obvious that he and former Vermont governor Howard “The Scream” Dean are deep in the tank for Clinton.

One of the crooked Memphis/Shelby county Fords...

Bill Clinton’s good buddies...

Ford Jr, Ford Sr, Uncle Ford, Auntie Ford, all in the TN/US Governments...

All had problems with some kind of crime, ethics etc...

Auntie was drunk and AWOL from the TN legislature for months at a time,
Uncle was charged with mail fraud while in office and more and Ed Bryant of Clinton impeachment fame was the Atty General who was trying to bring him to trial hindered by the Clinton White House,

Ford Sr had his problems

and Jr was just as bad and a wannabe Obama in 2008...

quite the crime family..
