He was probably going to put that plastic cover on them.
The same one that almost took your life if you feel asleep on it at your grandmothers house.

It just seems part of standard practice in probing vulnerability for foreign influence as part of the security clearance process. Makes sense.
Idk how customary or not it is to classify that under a counter-intelligence investigation though, that could imply something more nefarious. It appears logical to me that probing the potential for vulnerability to foreign influence etc. as part of the background check process would fall under a counter-intel investigation.
If a foreign entity holds leverage over an executive branch official, surely that would be a counter-intelligence threat.

I think that's the question they should try to answer after that article; exactly what kind of role, if any, an FBI counter-intelligence unit would normally play in conducting security clearance background checks for the executive branch.

I think the question that should be asked is why this family didn't divest from their businesses like we demand from so many previous people.

That is a sure fire way to avoid a foreign entity gaining influence over you, corruption charges, looking like you are committing graft and having a critical clearance for you to do your job held up.

It is standard practice. There are certain jobs/positions you can't hold (not just government, even in the private sector) if you have significant ties overseas (family or financial). Of course, that doesn't seem to apply to the Trump gang.

Unless you plan to use your position to make a lot of money, especially by peddling who-knows-what to foreign governments.
