Guidelines for stripping govt Security Clearances. If any contest the action, there can be evidentiary hearings on these issues. The first deep state trials?

 

The adjudication process is the careful weighing of a number of variables known as the whole-person concept. All available, reliable information about the person, past and present, favorable and unfavorable, is considered in reaching a clearance determination.

 

Each Guideline is comprised of three parts: 1) the Concern, 2) Potentially Disqualifying Conditions, and, 3) Mitigating Factors.

 

1) The Concern is a simple statement that sets forth the concerns the security community has about each Adjudicative Guideline.

 

2) The Potentially Disqualifying Conditions are conditions that, if present in the applicant’s life, may potentially disqualify him or her for eligibility or access.

 

3) The Mitigating Factors are used by adjudicators to balance against the Potentially Disqualifying Conditions. The Mitigating Factors consist of conditions that, if present in the applicant’s life, may cancel or lessen the severity of the Potentially Disqualifying Conditions.

If newfags come in, it might be easier for them to start at present rather than try to "catch up" too much, esp if they havent followed current events very closely or wokedly. Like newfags can follow from right now, then they can judge for themselves the vaue of the crumbs rather than have qfags telling them what to think. Fresh minds, fresh thoughts.
