Trump advisers propose bypassing FBI background checks for appointees

[Always in His Presence]

I don't believe you. Since Trump can override any objection, there is no 'danger' to allowing the FBI to do its job.

I don't believe you. Since the Democratic media can say anything they choose with no verification or substantiation of fact and people take it as truth.

Haha, no. If Bob rushes in to tell you "Alice says she saw your house on fire," this is not evidence that your house is not on fire.

Here is the weakness in your statement above -

You identified the people making the report. And the report is easily verified so you can know if the report is accurate or not.

It is the height of hypocrisy in debate to require one side to provide verifiable proof and the other able to enter anonymous hearsay and regard it as fact.

You should change the title of this thread to

Anonymous unverified sources claim Trump advisers propose bypassing FBI background checks for appointees.

That would be more accurate

I think anybody Donald picks can be counted on to handle classified information as well as Donald himself. Sure, bypass the background checks. If these people are good enough for Donald, they're good enough for the people who voted Donald into office.

The last election has liberated me from my concerns about classified. We get what we deserve.

I don't believe you. Since the Democratic media

has nothing to do with the results of an FBI background check

 

[Always in His Presence]

has nothing to do with the results of an FBI background check

Has everything to do with the baseless accusations in the OP -

baseless -
adjective

1.
without foundation in fact

that is EXACTLY what the OP is because it makes the accusation without a foundation in fact - anonymous, unverifiable and unsubstantiated.

Hearsay is generally not admissible in court because it's difficult to establish credibility when the person who made the statement isn't present.

All these accusations lack proof, evidence and credibility. It's conspiracy theory accepted as fact - not acceptable for reality -

It's a good thing Gaetz is not on trial eh?

It's a good thing Gaetz is not on trial eh?

Oh? what has he been formally charged with and in what court?

Tulsi Gabbard was placed on TSA watch list over her foreign travel and connections, says report​

One official said that Gabbard would usually have to account for her foreign travel and contacts during a background investigation, something Trump has indicated that he may try to avoid for his top nominees. This means that Gabbard may not be assessed by national security officials to look into whether she could pose a risk.

Security officials have noted Gabbard’s irregular travel patterns and relationships abroad, such as in 2017, when as a member of Congress she went to Syria to meet with the country’s dictator Bashar al-Assad.

“TSA’s Quiet Skies program, which is not a terrorist watchlist, leverages USG intelligence information and databases to apply screening measures to a limited number of passengers for a limited period of time. Simply matching to a risk-based rule does not constitute derogatory information about an individual.”

However, an automated risk-based rule should have provisions for on-the-scene human correction. That should be a basic understanding.
