The OPM does the investigations and they are handled by very competent career civilian employees.

The same people are doing it now that we're doing it a year ago.

Most of the transition team and people who put into positions by Trump prior to the inauguration would have been investigated by the OPM under the Obama admin but that has zero bearing on the quality of the work and has no reflection on them.

Yes. Unless your fired for misconduct that would change eligibility Lee-Lee Apr 2017 #16

Especially after being fired. The repugs "forget" to mention that O fired Flynn. brush Apr 2017 #13

Wait a minute...Flynn was fired in 2014 Maeve Apr 2017 #3

My point is then, what Sec. Clearance appl. did he lie on? eom asiliveandbreathe Apr 2017 #7
