Correct me if I’m wrong @AllThingsNatSec but if the FBI denies a candidate for suitability, shouldn’t the temp clearance be pulled - anywhere but the WH? https://t.co/ZKmCtQ7qcv

The FBI doesn’t grant clearances except for its own. It merely reports the findings of its investigation. The WH could still grant someone a clearance for whom the FBI denied suitability, but that would be political suicide. https://t.co/zbd3jgvEDf

Hmmm. Is this how it works?
