I hope you are right. Following eight years of Obama is like marching behind the horses in a parade.
In an era filled with the likes of Carlos Danger, the Orb, and Covfefe, it shouldn’t have been a surprise to hear about Reality Winner (yes, real name — no seriously, that’s her real name), the federal contractor from Georgia charged with leaking classified National Security Agency information to The Intercept. Winner, it turns out, should have raised every red flag outside of China. Here’s just a sampling of her Twitter feed:
So she’s sympathetic to the Iranian terror regime, thinks white people are terrorists (she’s whiter than Shaun King), and thinks the president under whom she serves is an “orange fascist.” Among those she followed on Twitter: Edward Snowden, Wikileaks, Anonymous.
She received top security clearance.
Where the hell is the extreme vetting?
We’ve heard from the Trump administration that we require extreme vetting for those entering the country. And we've heard from the Obama administration that vetting is already excellent. But how can we trust the government to handle that vetting when they can’t even vet the people who receive top security clearances? According to TheBalance.com, which provides a decent synopsis, here are some of the requirements for a top secret security clearance:
The application process for Top Secret clearance will require you divulge nearly every bit of information about yourself relating to personal and business finances, residences, employment history, criminal behavior, prior military service, citizenship, and criminal behavior. The questionnaire then goes to a background investigator, who verifies the information and begins a grueling and lengthy process of speaking to past employers, neighbors, spouses, ex-spouses, and acquaintances to determine whether you're trustworthy enough to be given clearance. The in-depth background investigation will cover a 10-year period. Additionally, the process will involve a polygraph exam, where you'll be asked to verify information from the questionnaire and other additional questions about your past to determine your level of truthfulness.
And yet they couldn’t check her Twitter feed. Or at least they didn’t check it for months, considering that days before she began working for a government agency, she was tweeting this stuff.
President Trump called for a ban on travel from terror-rich countries until we can figure out what the hell is going on. How about a ban on security clearance until we can figure out what the hell is going on?
If she was a USAF linguist, she already had a Top Secret/SBI clearance with SCI (raw intel) access. Getting the security clearance for a civilian job would have only needed an update which is quick and easy. Her online postings probably didn't happen until after that update was completed, but before the clearance was granted.She is a typical Trump, republican hating leftist. I think it's time for a new term..."radicalized Democrat" or maybe"weaponized democrat". Below raises a great question. How did she get top security clearance days after offering online support for Iran?

The joke last summer when Comey didn't recommend indicting Hillary was that he came across an email where they discussed Comey's impending suicide.Well, whatever the sentence at least she won't just disappear.
Now if Hillary had been president, well . . . Not so sure mom.
Do we need to list the number of people who mysteriously disappeared on the Clinton watch?
