Adjudication is the final step in the process of obtaining/maintaining a clearance.
The applicant fills out the history and reference forms, background investigations and local records checks take place, the applicant and his/her references are interviewed, then the adjudicator looks at anything that might be inconsistent or obviously a cause for concern.
This could be as little as failing to report traffic violations or an arrest for being drunk and disorderly, to failing to report meeting foreigners on overseas travel.
Doing embarrassing things may not keep you from getting a clearance unless you show complete lack of judgement, but hiding those embarrassments is a concern that one could be blackmailed.
“”Meanwhile, Clinton administration people used to brag about smoking pot on the roof of the white house. And in fact, half of Clintons people, even higher ups, had limited or no clearance due to drug and other background histories.””
I was going to say it went back further (farther - choose one) than obozo but you did it for me. When Clinton left office, there were people in the WH who had never gotten security clearances after 8 years!
“She should be grilled about Obuttmunchs WH clearances.”
That’s WHY they are attacking Trump on this.
Our domestic enemies have opened a new front with the old tactic of accusing Trump of that which they are most guilty.
Never forget that our domestic enemies are playing for keeps.
Objections were overturned. Objections must have been her own little Santa list.
Yeh like Soros was so pristine.
She has worked as a career employee for the Executive Office of the President for 18 years
I bet she’s a member of the Deep State Swamp.
One distinct possibility is that they were denying security clearances with insufficient reason, just to spite Trump. I have a hard time believing that there were legitimate reasons for denying security clearances to 25 people that Trump wanted to hire. One or two maybe, but 25?
This from the party of Obama and Clinton? Irony is lost on them.
Yup. A setup.
did imran awan make the top 25 list??
was Nel Ohr on the list?
Or he could just tell them to go #### themselves, which is what obama and hillary regularly did.
Problem for the #Resistance is that their open defiance lends a lot of credibility to the act of firing them for defiance.
I want to know more about the Dim “outside contractors” who had access to the NSA database. What kind of security clearance did Obama give them?
Wasn’t that a Hendrix song?
Did she let in Bill Ayers?
What needs to be investigated is if those rejections were politically motivated (acts of sabotage).
He got elected.
