Lawmakers express concern about lack of background checks for Trump's Cabinet

[@ryanstanley5634]

No one believes you anymore

[@marcsutton1751]

She’s a Lt. Colonel, and presidential candidate, and former member of multiple committees. She’s been there done that. Plus the DOD put her on a domestic terrorist watch list! Why would they allow the agency that helped put her on that list do her background check?

[@seekerstan]

Why would you want a person who's had these allegations made aginst them, primarily because they spout the Kremlin party line, become top curator of US intelegence without a thorough investigation. The lowest level employee candidates are investigated, why not the top?

[@antifactoid]

Because operation has the ability to do background checks better than the FBI, like it or not. She was on a terrorist watch for a reason, that was cleared. Given her pro-Syrian and Russian activities, you should be more concerned about that.

[@marcsutton1751]

@ tell me what those activities are

[@DaretoExplore]

If she can’t pass a standard background check maybe she should be working at Wendy’s instead of heading a federal department. There’s legitimate concern she may be a Russian asset. There are hundreds of other qualified people who CAN pass the background.

[@Colossus-Tone]

That ratio says it all. This is precisely why you weirdos are laughed at everywhere. TDS meltdowns.

[@rosemullen-r5w]

I think all of congress must be investigated and audited. There is a lot of criminality in that crowd.

That’s exactly the concern - she may be a Russian asset. Even some Senate Republicans will not approve her.

[@craigfrow-kr6pe]

@DaretoExplore It must be hard to be on the losing side of an election. TDS is probably treatable. All the joy and good vibes have dissipated into anger and resentment. Remember the midterms are only two years from now. Only time will determine if you are right.

[@veerodriguez1751]

Can we treat them like regular people? No background check, no job. This whole trump train is ridiculous. He's treating this like it's reality tv. We need to go on and inpeach him on out as soon as he gets in. Before he gets in. Yesterday.
