Six White House staffers fired after failing security test
Washington Examiner ^ | 2/16/17 | Anna Giaritelli

Posted on 02/16/2017 6:14:29 PM PST by markomalley

The White House dismissed six aides on Thursday after the staffers failed FBI background checks. Some of the aides were physically "walked out of the building by security" a day earlier.

Those affected had failed the SF86, a Questionnaire for National Security Positions used to determine whether a government employee is eligible for a security clearance. The test takes into consideration a person's credit score, substance use and various personal subjects.

Caroline Wiles was among the six escorted off the property. Wiles worked as Trump's scheduling director and is the daughter of Susan Wiles, who managed Trump's Florida campaign.

Wiles had resigned on Friday before the results of the test were released. She had worked s deputy assistant secretary during the transition period. Sources told Politico she is going to work for the Treasury Department in light of her inability to return to the White House.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

They shouldn't be allowed to work anywhere if they failed background checks on an SF86. The adjudication criteria don't change just because of the level of clearance...the only difference is how hard the investigators look.

Probably the credit check gets some of them. Under Clinton it was drug use.

There is a difference in the character of a man and a man child who is a cartoon character.

It’s interesting that the three Muslims hackers the Democrats hired passed a background check since they had credit problems.

Drug and credit background? Great! These surely are some indication of clearance-worthy or not. But what about past known subversive associates? That’s an even better indicator, certainly. obama himself, hillary herself could not have passed that one.
Oh, but those were special cases huh?

Yet, when are we going to get news of the three Paki brothers, and wife who were hired by Rat congress critters and Debbie washerwoman Shultz, with full access to the government computer systems?

Are they on the streets, in jail, or fled to Pakistan?

Normal stuff. Many don’t pass the background checks for mundane reasons

How the hell do you “fail” a SF86? Are people reporting on this that stupid or do they think the people reading their work are that stupid?
