But what I am trying to better understand is to what extent and how the vetting process for their clearances was compromised. There has to be plenty of rigorous investigation spelled out under the law to acquire a high-level clearance. When I was working in consulting and needed a clearance I remember learning that long-time neighbors had been interviewed about my character, as just one example.

For that matter, how were the authorities able to gag down all the historical sleaze and lawbreaking by the yam himself? On some level he should never have qualified for more than a low-level clearance, with First Grade reader versions of briefings being the closest he ever got to government secrets. Of course eventually they realized that was all he could handle in the way of briefings anyway, but he should never have been anywhere near sensitive information with his lack of impulse control and criminal history.
