I hope Congress relooks it with a genuine concern about revamping the system to include policing themselves.

You have had security clearances, right?  In 2010, on a trip to the ME, I had to sit in Heidelberg, Germany, for a week once because security research discovered that I was arrested for hitchhiking in 1970 and my clearance was red flagged.

What is the incentive for a member of Congress of either house to have these people going back over a congress member's grade school high school college all jobs ever held and history of relatives with vices?  What could go wrong? LOL

 

They are more likely to vote in a resolution that they won't be paid during government shutdowns than authorize this research into their past.
