How soon until an excuse if offered explaining why convicted felons are holding high office in the civilian national security force?
Sociopaths and sadists have places in totalitarian organizations... always have. Professional police organizations work to weed out the thin skinned - those with chips on their shoulders. And common criminals... Groups like TSA don't... maybe for a reason.
My guess is this administration will use the 'they've paid their debt to society' meme... or maybe a race card or two. The excuses will be lie, but the idiots at the New York Times and Washington Post will buy these liberal excuse without question. And soon - even the excuses won't be offered. It'll just 'be'... and it'll be waaay to late for the New York Times to object...
