I wonder about some of the people posting on this thread.
- I haven't seen anything to indicate that they know any of the people involved in this situation, yet they are absolutely sure that these incidents never happened.
- They don't seem to be any bit upset that people who do not have security clearances handle classified information every day.
- They don't acknowledge that two or three people have accused Porter of the exact same behavior or that there also is some documentation of it.
- They don't acknowledge that this behavior calls Porter's character into question, which is particularly important because he handles classified information and has direct access to the president.
- They don't acknowledge that the investigators seek out the people who know an applicant, not vice versa. As someone who has had federal investigators show up at my office without warning to interview me, I know this to be the case. Moreover, I sincerely doubt that this guy's ex-wives were interviewed together.
- There is no evidence that calls into question the credibility of these women.
- Their talk about due process is irrelevant inasmuch as there is no right to a security clearance. There is no criminal penalty.
- They refuse to acknowledge the many millions of men who have never done such things and never have been accused of anything. They are the type of people whom we want in positions involving trust.
