hokie4redskins Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Any background investigators out there? Hypothetical: Obama applies for an Analyst position at CIA. Given: 1) Associations with Dohrn, Ayers, and Wright 2) Kenyan ties 3) Indonesia Would he pass the background check? Question of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Do you not think the FBI has checked into his background a couple weeks prior to the election in which he is running for the President of the United States of America? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to say because the CIA reqiurments are alot harder versus DOD and what level clearance we are talking about. DOJ probally would have easier time to obtain. His associations with Ayers, Rashid Khalidi would be more a factor then anything else because most of the DOD Clearance's only require to go back either 7 or 10 years for place you have lived.

Heisenberg Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 The biggest hurdle for the CIA or FBI would probably be the drug usage as opposed to these other things you mention which would be cleared after investigation. However, the drug usage didn't stop Bush from becoming President so I'm assuming that this really doesn't matter much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now answer the question or :stfu: The drug usage would not be an issue most likely. And you would have to smoke a lot of weed...on your way to your interview...to be denied most likely.

The drug usage thing is not a bar to a security clearance if it was relatively minor, it happened long ago, and there is no indication that it has continued into the present. If that were not the case, then it would be impossible for anyone from the 1970s to get a clearance. I did not know a single person at wealthy McLean High who did not try drugs.

Ivy94f Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 At this stage, I would find it hard to believe that this hasn't been done already. Its not like this information is new. I mean seriously, the FBI has been around this guy since he's started running for president. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 By the way - clearance usually is rejected because applicants are not thorough enough on their application. And as I said ON ANOTHER THREAD - what makes you think Obama doesn't already have clearance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what FBI and CIA told me when they were at career fairs - they don't hire people that have used anything harder than weed or have smoked weed more than like 25 times or something. That might be different than the original question since I have a security clearance now but I was told by those agencies that they wouldn't hire anyone that used any hard drugs.

NavyDave Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 When Clinton was in office several of his cronies couldn't initially receive security clearances because of drug use and priors. CIA has a lot of Career liberals I'm sure they would turn a blind eye in this cas. Now if he was Barrack Skyhook Jenkins, one of the Jenkins boys from the Southside then the answer would be a resounding NO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
