FBI Security Checks on BOTH Campaigns
« on: October 19, 2008, 11:44:58 AM »
I heard on the news this morning that due to intelligence reports that anticipate some terrorist actions following the election, both campaigns were called to the White House for security briefings. Also due to same the FBI has begun doing security clearance checks on members of both campaigns who are likely to hold positions in the White House, whichever candidate is elected.

This could throw a real CURVE into the election at the 11th hour if any aids in either camp have problems passing the security clearances. It could also save us from a catastrophe.

OR...it could create a huge controversy if it appears to have been politically motivated.

Stay Tuned!

Interesting...

If Barack Obama would apply for a job with the FBI or with the Secret Service, he would be disqualified because of his past association with William Ayers, a known terrorist (regardless of how long ago it was).
For this same reason, he would be disqualified from joining the military.
If he is elected President he would not qualify to be his own body guard!

I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

I wonder how that makes the Secret Service and FBI guys feel?  Any words from Walt would be worth hearing right now....

When these guys spend the night at the White House imagine the voices in the head saying "not crosshairs ... protect ... not crosshairs ... protect ..."

I have some insight on this. The agents who achieve assignment to the Presidential Protection Detail don't have time to care who they are mothering. And any spare time is spent cultivating (very) lucrative employment after they get in their 20 and go private sector.

I didn't mean to belittle the professionalism of the Agents that are charged with protecting our elected officials and those with them.  However, I can't help but wonder if it ever crosses their minds what they are involved in.  My understanding is that at times these agents are privy to information that very few realize is even out there.  Can you imagine the professionalism it takes to maintain in some settings with some people?

I'll happily take the first bullet as long as they go for a three shot group.

...and are just bad enough shots to have the next two barely miss you, I presume?
Anti: I think some of you gentleman would choose to apply a gun shaped remedy to any problem or potential problem that presented itself? Your reverance (sic) for firearms is maintained with an almost religious zeal. The mind boggles! it really does...

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

First one is SURE to knock me down, looks tacky when the body guards hold the principle up for a human shield  ;D
