Six White House staffers were removed from the administration on Thursday for failing an FBI background check, according to Politico.

Sources told the publication that the staffers were escorted from the building on Wednesday after they didn’t pass Form SF86, the "Questionnaire for National Security Positions." A successful response to the form is required for a security clearance.

One of the dismissed staffers includes Caroline Wiles, director of scheduling, the daughter of President Trump’s Florida campaign manager. She will instead get a job at the Treasury Department, sources told Politico.
The Hill asked the White House for comment.

1. Great to know, fail a background check for the WH, you get a booby prize of treasury. WTF

[riversedge]

4. Strange. Won't the background check be the same for all agencies? It is for a Security check!!

[former9thward]

21. No, it isn't.

Do you seriously think all 3 million federal workers could pass a white house background check? Different jobs and different agencies have different requirements. This happens with all administrations.

[riversedge]

22. I really do not know. Guess I thought it was a Federal form given to all. But like I said, I do

not know.

[former9thward]

23. Form 86 is the same.

What is different is how different agencies deal with the answers. One size does not fit all.

6. That made me laugh out loud.

It's kind of what I thought, but you expressed it way better.

7. So they automatically get another job if they're shitcanned?

I have to wonder if there was a job vacancy or if the job was created for
this Trumpster. Whatever the case it was a fairly rapid transition.

2. Seems there are more bad hombres getting into the WH than across the border

[smirkymonkey]

8. *snort*

Touche!

[Botany]

3. "This administration is running like a fine-tuned machine," Trump said.

5. LIke a carousel of clowns.

Proof of Trump's business competence?

[sheshe2]

11. Did

Bannon. Flynn et all pass theirs or were they not given one.

[guillaumeb]

12. Flynn undoubtedly has clearance from his prior service.

But does it need to be updated?

[pinboy3niner]

13. Flynn's security clearance has been suspended pending review. nt

[guillaumeb]

14. No surprise there.

Are we up to situation FUBAR at this point?

[sheshe2]

24. So should Bannons.

[guillaumeb]

15. See reply 12 for an update.

9. Wiles moves on to the treasury department?

She'll schedule the next economic collapse.

[malaise]

10. Is Groper Don the Con

among them?

[VMA131Marine]

16. The form is the same one you fill out for a security clearance.

I would guess everyone at the WH would need Top Secret, the highest level. Anyone with drug, alcohol, financial issues or a criminal record is going to have trouble. I can't imagine you need a clearance to work in the Treasury Department.

[Adrahil]

19. Depends on the job....

Some data at Treasury is probably pretty sensitive. But most positions would be okay.

[triron]

20. How would Bannon stay then?

[Adrahil]

17. Ya know....

Not a surprise...

[BannonsLiver]

18. Was Omorosa one of them?

What a slime. I always thought Michael Clark Duncan's sudden death was suspicious.
