In a discussion about Matt’s article and Comer’s “failed background checks“, ‘Science Bob McGwier’ - himself ex-military, Virginia Tech and rubs shoulders with the in-crowd (he saw Grusch last year at SCU) said this In response:

“..Well, let me tell you what that means - It means 5% of the people who are retired and now ready to talk, they went off and got drunk and they wrecked their car or whatever.. they cheated on their taxes whatever - that doesn’t mean what they say isn’t true. It means they can’t be read back in so they can talk about what they know - because it’s classified. If they don’t have a clearance they can’t even talk about it. If they’ve gotten drunk and run into a tree or they’ve committed a felony etc., they’re not gonna be cleared so they can’t talk about what they know legally..”
