I meant to link this tweet [1] from the former Communications Director of the Vice President and active member of DOGE, Katie Miller. There’s no evidence that the members with access had “emergency” clearance and they could very well have gone through the regular process, so I was careful not to say they were granted clearance in that way. I just wanted to mention it as something people have been grouping into this and complaining about.

- mbesto 2y ago> I just wanted to mention it as something people have been grouping into this and complaining about. For sure. Fair point. > they could very well have gone through the regular process My understanding is that the "regular process" is pretty rigorous (background checks, calls to family members, etc). So, I would take a "former comms dir"'s tweet with a grain of salt.
- jjtheblunt 2y agoI’ve been through the regular process for NSA and it is indeed rigorous.
- derangedHorse 2y agoI know many friends with top secret clearance and I would say it’s reasonably rigorous but nothing crazy in my opinion.
