1. Oops !

2. I remember filling out that form, or its equivalent in 1965.

It wasn't easy, since I was currently in Basic Training in the USAF, and was about to be sent to the Russian Language School at Syracuse University for a total-immersion Russian language school for 9 months.

I had no access to address information for anyone, so it was very difficult to provide addresses for references, employment and other things. As it turned out, it was OK to do the best I could, so that's what I did.

The process was intensive. My parents told me that FBI people had interviewed all of the people in my hometown who I had identified as references, along with neighbors and other in my little home town in California.

I also learned that every other person I had named also was interviewed, including college professors, employers, and people who had lived in the same dorm as I did.

I was called into an interview, while at the language school to explain why I had received mail from radio stations in the Soviet bloc. I explained that I had been an avid short wave radio broadcast listener as a teenager and had sent reception reports all over the world to get cards proving I had heard those stations. It was a hobby, and some countries sent me boxes of propaganda. The interviewer said that wasn't a problem, and actually might be a plus, considering what I was being trained for.

In any case, the process was intensive and thorough. I guess I passed muster, though, since I ended up with a security clearance that kept getting enhanced in its level as I did more and more jobs during my enlistment.

I don't know if the investigations are still that thorough, and have no idea what's involved for people on the President's staff.

7. I think the initial investigation is that

thorough. When one of my kids was getting clearance enhancements I would get a call. By the third one I got the call 6 months after she was in the job she needed the enhancement for. Now I don't get any. Friends, relatives, teachers and the place she volunteered for haven't told me of any visits in years. I always wondered why I got a phone call and others got visits.

3. I wonder if anybody who meets or has met Trump

needs to enter that if they have to fill out an SF86

4. I remember having to fill out the security form in 1985, and there was no if's or and's in

there, it said: did you or did you not......................with a yes or no, that had to be done in either black or blue pen, and then you had to complete and sign.

There was ooooooooooooooooops section.

I hate TREASON.......................

5. Off to the greatest page

No wonder his daddy went to prison - these are stupid criminals

6. Actually this is wrong

The form is done on an online platform and all but 4 pages are submitted electronically. The 4 are printed and you sign there essentially authorizing release of the rest of the electronic document.

While the system is set up to try and deter you from jumping right ahead, it's possible to do it or in the case of someone with multiple responses to list if you have one where you need 20 it sees that as answered.

And I've seen the system hiccup and after the documents were signed everything or part of your data go away, that's why a close review is always called for before hitting submit.

It is fully possible the way the system is set up that they printed the forms and had him sign before they had all the data entry. It would be an irresponsible way to go, but it is technically possible to happen.

Here is a good description of it.

8. The Best part is that Kushner sank his wife by lying on the forms.

Apparently you have to answer if you OR your spouse had foreign contacts.
Given that he lied on the form, it will be extremely unlikely that she did not know about any of those contacts when she filled our her form.
