A person is not required to have done anything wrong to be denied a high-ranking government position, or more immediately, the security clearance allowing access to classified information that is necessary to function in such a job. There simply need be associations, allegiances, or interests that establish a potential conflict of interest.

I presume that Andrew McCarthy thinks that Huma Abedin obtained a security clearance, at least some level thereof. If Huma can qualify for one, anybody and everybody with the appropriate political pull can. This doesn't bode well for national security, I'm afraid. It's probably another disastrous aspect of the Obama administration that has largely gone without much notice from the supposed "opposition" in Washington.

When I was granted my top secret, any little thing, including misdemeanor offenses, stupid pranks or relatives in the wrong country could deny one a clearance.

Thanks for the ping!
