ParticipantAllan,
The FBI didnt’ check your birthing records. They just wanted to know if you were a good boy and could be trusted.
I found this article on security clearances.
“Meanwhile, members of congress are not subject to any type of background check. They are merely asked to promise not to reveal any of the nation’s secrets. That’s it. According to a seasoned professional, Winslow Wheeler, with 31 years experience on Capitol Hill, members of Congress are granted security clearance simply by being elected. Winslow worked for the Senate Budget Committee for six years as a security official. He recently published a book about Congress and national security.”

Participant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]John: The only problem with the RNC keeping their mouth shut is this: They are bound by electoral laws governing conduct, and much as attornies are bound by the Canon of Ethics as officers of the court and are duty bound to report certain things, the RNC would find itself in pretty deep water, along the lines of the Watergate investigation into Nixon (“What did the President know and when did he know it?”).
If they know (and that is a mighty big “if”), then they have no choice but to divulge that information and immediately.
Again, if this story genuinely had legs, someone at the NYT or WSJ or WashPost would have spilled the beans. We live in such an information driven age, and a 24/7 news cycle that this would have been an epic headline. Forget the FBI, the MSM would have exploded this across the headlines.[/quote]
Allan,
What would you have the RNC report and to who?? This isn’t some complex caper. Its a simple birth certificate. There is nothing to divulge. Its not like knowing who robbed a bank or shot someone or bribed a judge.
As far as timing goes I believe the Media is so Obama they want it to go away and have no interest in discussing it. At the least they are just as confused as anybody. They probably can’t believe it hasn’t been checked either. They will have to address it soon because it appears to be gaining steam.
Thanks,
John
