(21,115 posts)I am still questioning what someone like he is doing anywhere near this information he claims to have is. There is something very peculiar about his background and his clearance. I can connect dots and there is something strange about that and I want to know what that is. He has no business passing a background check....much less a Top Secret one. WHO cleared this guy? I can guarantee they know who that person is....I want to know how that happened. That guy was already a severe liability and a flaw in the system as anyone who works on computer systems will tell you....the humans using them are the weakest link and most dangerous in the information chain. Most people with even a general clearance will tell you it takes a year and everyone in their past going back many years are actually contacted. So how did this guy get through that....and if he had some different method than most....what was that? How did he slip through the cracks....cause that is a weakness that needs to be addressed.
