#1 ...When I recruited for the USAF, I would occasionally run into someone who swore they had no record at all. Honest and for true. Promise and pinky swear.

Only to be SERIOUSLY surprised when something, always complicating but sometimes disqualifying, came back. Their response was INVARIABLY:

"But my attorney said that no one could ever see this!"

Au contraire, I would reply. McDonald's or K Mart can't see it if they're doing a background check but the United States By-God Air Force, in all its power, wisdom, and majesty sure as Hell can. By the by, a variation on this was when a prospect would at least say, "Yes, but it's been expunged," only to be Disappointed.

I am going to go out on a limb and suggest a scenario here. Since AAG Clarke was a Biden hire - and we all know how well they're vetted (looking at you, Mister Nuclear Crossdressing Luggage Stealing Guy) - nobody even thought about doing a checkout. If they had, somebody was told to memory hole it PDQ.

#3 Whoppie’s take on this will be pure comedy.

Which will be the first time she's done a funny standup routine in decades.

#4 You’d think a DOJ official would know that lawyers only ask questions when they already know the answer.

#5 Only if everyone was a saint. I, much like Jesus, believe in redemption. What is the point of expungement if it does not do what its definition implies. And what is the definition of Expunge?

1 : to strike out, obliterate, mark for deletion.
2 : to efface completely; destroy.
3 : to eliminate from one's consciousness.

I dont feel strongly about expunging violent crimes, but I do believe in process and expungement is a legal process available for people who need a redemption arc to their life story: Do your time, rehabilitate, be better, and move on with life.

#6 In my experience: affirmative action is not just discrimination against non-beneficiary groups. It's also discriminates against the (putative) beneficiary group by promotings the worst (most shameless and megalomaniac) members of that group.

#7 She should have answered truthfully, but it should not have been held against her, on in my opinion even asked. Not convicted. Anybody can be accused...

#8 Besides the obvious lie. She is also a DEI totalitarian who would no more grant anyone in her sights the same grace. She's a AA/DEI Bitch who should be held to her own standards
