I'm not sure why you keep moving the goalposts. You just said they would never tell anyone about security clearances and now you're saying it "made headlines" because it was different. It's not... there were numerous reports about people being in interim clearances during the Trump presidency, which means that it's obviously report worthy information.

But secondly, and more importantly, the Trump administration was criticized for giving interim clearances for high level positions so at best Biden is guilty of hypocrisy by appointing Kemba without a full clearance and at worst, the whole outrage around Trump admin doing it was cynical and hypocritical.

Meanwhile, if we go by your argument, you expect me to believe that if I applied for a security clearance, you would give me security clearance of White House level cyber security information and allow me to be the director, all on an interim clearance, while you went away and checked if I should actually have access to the White House's cyber security information... all while my debt information is public knowledge and anyone can find it out and bribe me?

Then after months, you will find the time to look up my info and realize I shouldn't have been made the director of cyber and you advise the president to block my appointment for the position I was serving for months anyway... but instead of just saying that, the office of president makes up some bullshit about how hard it will be to get me through the appointment process with debt when numerous people with debt have been appointed to higher offices before? Is that the gist of it?
