In Reply to: Many folks who work at those agencies have their own political agendas posted by Chris from Lafayette on May 14, 2020 at 00:52:07:
But I disagree that it's a big problem. The rank-and-file workers in these agencies must hold security clearances that require them to be squeaky clean. Most politicians aren't fit to clean their boots. Most politicians would be unable intellectually and morally to qualify for work in national security, and would be unable to hold even the lowest level security clearance.
For instance, one of the questions asked is 'have you ever declared bankruptcy?' Our VSG would not qualify for a security clearance based on this question alone. If, as Kushner did, you make a false statement on an application for a security clearance, that's a felony.
Contrary to your opinion (in the Socratic sense of that word) workers in the security agencies are dedicated, underpaid, and overworked. Our VSG isn't fit to lick the boots of Peter Strzok.
IME the deep state includes the MIC, Wall Street, and those who practice politics as a vocation; while the poor schmucks working in the trenches of our security agencies haven't got a chance of influencing those Mammon.
