Mar 2020

Biden was a member of the senat foreign relations committee - so he was subjected to a security clearance review every two years.

Then he went through an extreme vetting process by Obama's campaign before he was chosen as a running mate.

Then again, he was vetted by the FBI for a much higher level security clearance as a VP.

How likely is it that all those probes and vetting missed this?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
