If the president drapes a tarp over something then it becomes a SCIF. That's what my libertarian uncle on the sex-offender registry told me.
And it will be the first actual piece of gold to ever enter there
They probably have Goldschlager at the bar…
Rush, who court documents say had top secret clearance and access to classified information, has also been accused of lying about his education and military service when applying for his government job, and fraudulently taking military leave with thousands of dollars in pay.
They're just hiring anybody eh? McDonalds does a better background check on people applying to be a burger flipper but this guy was hired by the CIA and they didn't even bother to check if he went to college? They also somehow thought it was fine to give him 40 million dollars in gold bars and they gave it to him before checking what he needed them for.
They know how to take the resume, just not how to check the resume.
To be fair, the CIA is the one organization in the US government that can hire literally anyone. They have to pay "bad guys" in sketchy ways all the time in order to gain intelligence, cause trouble for enemies, and generally just move around the world (so they can be anywhere).
They are also experts of compartmentalization: They're famous for hiring people that are literally insane but are still capable of performing important work. They just keep said people isolated and only given what they need to do their job.
Everyone knows the term, "handler" but what they probably don't realize is that a lot of handlers are just people working in CIA offices, making sure dangerous/crazy people stay on task (or just come to work and go home on time!).
Wasn’t it the other way around? He was arrested for something else, I think like $70k wage theft, and while they were searching his house they found the $40M in gold?
Yes, I know how crazy that sounds.
