Issuing a security clearance and conducting the background investigation required for a clearance are two separate things, often times conducted by separate agencies. The FBI can conduct an investigation, the Office of Personnel Management used to do them, the Defense Counterintelligence Security Agency (DCSA) can do them, State Dept as well and I think the CIA too. DCSA does most of them. But who is actually responsible for issuing the clearance after an investigation has been completed for a Congressional aide I have no idea.
Yeah, I thought it would go to the House Intel Committee for approval. Mace said before that anyone with clearance has to be approved by Intel Committee before they can testify at a hearing. But maybe it went to the Pentagon because thats where his last clearance was from?
Great work Laslo! You are the 1st to break Burlison filed for Grusch's full clearance to the Pentagon.
Does it seem weird to you that it goes to the Pemtagon? Like, what the f*k does the FBI do!?!
