Where Fear Leads You

 The Biden team stood up at the end of last week, and said they are now fearful of 'insider' action by the 25,000 National Guardsmen in DC.  

The FBI said 'fine', and agreed to vet all 25,000 in a week (finished by the early hours of Wednesday).  

The meaning of vetting?  It's a background check.  Typically (I'm suggesting what it means to get a secret security clearance)....you put the guy's name into a database and review their financial status (if they've declared bankruptcy), had dealings with the law (a criminal record), or made threats that got into public records.

So when the Biden team said 'fearful' and the FBI said 'vetting'.....they don't really equal.

If we went to the Biden interpretation, to get 25,000 Guardsmen done.....you'd require a minimum 2,000 FBI agents, with personal interviews of each Guardsmen, and their willing nature to participate and volunteer information.  Having met these guys in the past, I'd suggest that once they grasp what you are doing....at least one out of three aren't going to be helpful.  

I can imagine the interview, and the FBI guy drilling down into a guy who has had about fourteen hours of real sleep over the six days.  Questions about their Facebook or Twitter accounts....gets a response of 'I got such-and-such medal of bravery for my year in Afghanistan'.  

A 'joke'?   Well...I would imagine that every single member of the military force, to include active duty as well....will be forced through a new vetting in 2021, and there might be well over 50,000 called into a room and told that their services might not be needed anymore.  All of this will spiral, and tens of thousands of teens who'd normally be recruited for service....will laugh over the option, and walk away from the recruiter.

But the willing participant in this whole wild game?  The FBI?  It simply demonstrates that they just 'door-guards' in fine clothing/suits.  That's one step above the Capital Police, who lack the fine clothing/suits.  

What might come out of the vetting, which just leads to more questions?  Out of the 25,000....you might find that 16,000 of them were on Tinder, and having active affairs, which their husband/wife wasn't aware of.
