Let& #39;s talk about security clearances for just a minute.
Those of us who have been through the exhaustive process know what it entails.

This is an informal interview to put you at ease with the process. Next up, the agent will conduct an exhaustive audit of your online presence which includes your social media profiles, email correspondence, credit reports and any other available public record information.

How about China?
With all the news of spies within our government, State Department employees actively subverting the foreign policy goals of our President, and high-ranking members of our own military proudly dislaying their
questionable loyalties, whose brilliant idea was it to give these people the keys to the kingdom?
Under whose authority was our national security compromised in such a manner?
