Thorough vetting of nominees critical for national security
To: Sen. Fetterman, Sen. Casey
From: A constituent in Dunmore, PA
November 25
The integrity of our national security is paramount, and all nominees for high-level government positions should undergo thorough vetting to ensure they have no concerning foreign ties or other issues that could raise risks. Bypassing established FBI background check protocols would undermine longstanding norms and due diligence processes designed to protect America's interests. Full transparency and adherence to proper clearance procedures are essential for confirming candidates are qualified and appropriate for their intended roles. Circumventing these prudent measures raises valid concerns about the administration's commitment to upholding critical safeguards. A rigorous review process must be followed to uphold the public's trust and confidence in the leadership of our government agencies.
