Meanwhile: the investment banker/hedge fund manager scrum for Treasury apparently got too hot even for Trump.

So Mark Rowan is private jetting back from Asia to be interviewed. An upstanding member of the investor class, he started at Drexel Burnham of the 1990 junk bond fiasco, then worked with Leon Black at Apollo - the very same Leon Black who named Jeffrey Epstein as trustee of his foundation and paid him $50 million.

Thank God Trump won; otherwise the Davos-Epstein class would have continued to run the world.

 

Epstein said Trump was one of his closest friends.  And had no morals.  Imagine that coming from Epstein. 

Meanwhile people on here were crying about pedophilia.  I think they are for it as long as it's their own guys.  Scumbags.

How much you want to bet Trump wasn't involved like most of Hollywood? Scumbag.

Pet peeve of mine (oh, and I've got many of 'em): I've worked for the federal government. I've had clearances. I've been through the whole process. Interviewing neighbors and work associates about my behavior. Excessive drinking? Any illegal drug use? Extra-marital affairs? Contacts with undesirable people like strippers and hookers and drug dealers? Sexual harassment allegations and other workplace behavior?

Getting my prints taken. Giving access to my tax records. Disclosing all my investments and any foreign contacts. Undergoing interviews under oath. I've been involved in hiring. I've vetoed good job candidates because I knew that wouldn't get the necessary clearance.

 

And then some political appointee comes in who I know could never get hired/pass a security clearance for a career job. Never. The people in the most important jobs are the most compromised individuals. 

This is a great post Frank, and I would love to believe all the players involved have the integrity to interact/oversee following the spirit and intent of the guidelines.  I bet many do, but more than a fair number do not.   
 

Sidebar— what you described is what most reasonable people would assume would be the approach to handling classified documents  and which clearly does not.   
 

Your point on appointees is fair.  Maybe some day it gets fixed but none of the critical players who can fix it seem to want to.

No. Not all of them.

But I can assure that a 40ish applicant who has faced credible accusations of having sex with a 17 year old would not be cleared. Nor would a man who, in his 50s or 60s, admitted to dumping a dead bear cub in Central Park. Nor would a man who has been the subject of credible allegations of repeatedly using illegal drugs other than marijuana in the very recent past.

These are not close calls.

Love credible accusations!

She's not unqualified for some things, but we are talking here about the DNI. She wasn't even on the congressional committees dealing with Intel. Wrong person for the job.

I have long believed these are amongst the most dark and chilling words uttered by a person operating at the highest level of our government.  Of course the dopey bobble-headed talking head let it go, but if this is what passes for how the system is played by those who play it well, I’m perfectly fine with all Tulsi all the time.

Uh-oh. You are going after one of Frank’s guys. There’s a strong enough affinity there that Frank even stood up for him over Uncooked Cheeseburgergate.

I wasn’t aware that Frank was a Cheeseburger Trutherrr.  I may have been distracted with Frenkle declaring  that to be a completely organic real moment in Chuck’s life while stating the Trump visit to McDonalds may have been staged.

@The Frankish Reich

 

Just getting back to this point to get your feedback.  You’ve worked in government, discussed a vetting process I believe every American would hope would represent the gold standard for all administrations, and are uniquely qualified to offer feedback here. 
 

What Schumer implies here is pretty dark.  He didn’t refer to the legal process, the ability to prosecute or the integrity of the DOJ or Intelligence community.  He chose words that certainly can be viewed as sinister.  
 

What say you about what say he?

Your concept of credible is hilarious after you didn't have an issue with the FACT that Biden was taking 10% of Hunters deals. The question that matters is will they be able to do their jobs properly. Every person Biden put in charge failed miserably in the foundational task of their departments. buttigieg, Lloyd, and Miguel Cardona are all horrendous at their jobs but they are "qualified".

Many allegations about Gaetz and party drugs. Of course, we haven't seen the report.

And, of course, Elon. I'm not saying that this worries me about him being a security risk; I'm just saying a regular prospective fed employee wouldn't get a clearance.
