White House officials took the unusual step of ordering a stop to the background check investigations after they deemed the process too intrusive, sources said.
The procedure typically involves extensive interviews as well as a review of financial records, foreign contacts, past employment, and any potential security risks.
Yup.
So in other words he has the military more under his control than the fbi?
That’s terrifying.
from my understanding, the officers loath him, the high ranking generals see him as a useful tool to their career aims, and the rank and file enlisted non combat roles LOVE him as their great destined leader
Over generalization. The military is a microcosm of American society. My whole community is military, and I know officers and enlisted who love him, and others who hate him. The real concern with the military is that he replaced the chief JAGs in each branch.
Guess who decides whether refusing an unlawful order results in prison time or not…
Well that's going to be the most terrifying thing I read this month.
He already did that 2 weeks ago.
So, how many more foreign agents will end up in positions?
All of em.
For the right price.
Enough that we're already under Pooty-poot's control
LOL. Come now. We all know what this is about. We all now who has his hand up Trump’s arse.
I’m more disturbed somebody voluntarily stuck their hand up there
We executed the Rosenbergs for far less.
I sure hope the guy Trump picked to lead the FBI tells him how deeply offended he is by this obvious lack of trust.
Even that guy isn't using the FBI for his own personal security.
"Highly unusual."
Sure, but not exactly surprising is it?
Utterly expected.. in hindsight. It’s not like the goons have many alternatives
