Right, that prior administration that according to the GOP got NOTHING right. They trusted Obama for vetting Flynn, but nothing else, right?

Trump could have gained an efficiency by having Rexy baby join him and Pence for lunch. Then he could have knocked off early and gotten 18 in. Who's his scheduler anyway?
White House Memo
President Donald J. Trump has made it clear that American companies that fire their workers and ship their operations out of the country will not be able to sell their products back into the United States without paying a penalty. Those days are over. America First means the interests of American workers must come first.

My understanding is that basically the current admin is blaming Obama because his admin gave Flynn the initial security clearance; however, Flynn "retired' (forced out/fired) in 2014 due to be a shitty supervisor, employee and his dysfunctional work style. None of these would qualify him for a removal of his security clearance if I understand it correctly. What this comes down to with the Trump admin is either laziness, ignorance, collusion or a combination of the aforementioned. Sorry, but if a company re-hires someone that was fired or had that many skeletons in their closet without doing another background or proper vetting, that's their fault.Merkin Baller said:Gern Blansten said:

Makes sense.
For those interested, here is the executive order Clinton put in to effect https://fas.org/sgp/clinton/eo12968.html. I found sections 3 - 6 most interesting as it pertains to re-investigation and processes for removal of the clearance.
It's a hopeless situation...0 -
I don't understand how being fired or retired would still qualify you for that type of security clearance.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0

If you aren't in a position to review secure documents why does it matter if you're clearance is revoked? Isn't it kind of revoked by not having a job that gives you ACCESS to secure information?Remember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)

I guess. I have no idea how it works. wouldn't you want to revoke it so someone can't say "well I let him review the file, he's got clearance"?Gern Blansten said:If you aren't in a position to review secure documents why does it matter if you're clearance is revoked?

That would be the logical assumption, but this is the government so why make it simple. If the security clearance really only is something that allows you access if you're in the position to receive it, then revoking it is unnecessary, It seems like a loophole that needs to be fixed. Without an ID or electronic database access, the clearance should be worthless, but as we've learned it seems like an easy way to get a position and pick right back up without any further consideration until the next mandated review.HughFreakingDillon said:

It Was Cultural Anxiety That Drove White, Working-Class Voters to Trump
A new study finds that fear of societal change, not economic pressure, motivated votes for the president among non-salaried workers without college degrees.
