If it wasn't a problem when she was vetted for a security clearance, I don't know why it should be a problem now.

But if we're going to make this a standard, we should make sure it's applied across the board - including to congressional & supreme court interns with Harvard-sized student loans.

@evacide only right wing nutjobs can have their debts paid off by unknown (or sleazy) third parties!

@evacide of course the real problem is the 49 fascists in the senate who won’t vote for any qualified candidates. The grand old obstruction party has to go.

@evacide Only if she was a republican. (IOKIYAR)

@evacide She's black and competent. GOP won't vote for her is she paid them.

Is this actually over at this point? Or is their further intrigues to unfold?

Only if she really, really liked beer.

@evacide large personal debt is sort of a big red flag on clearance approvals, no?

At least it was last time I went through one?

@evacide WTF.

@evacide Democrats are pathetic cowards, example #421,578.
Primary them all from the left.

@evacide she'd probably also need to be nominated by a Republican President in order for all that to fly.

@evacide I’m never getting a big wig job.

@evacide
So she's doing what all of us who are not wealthy do, borrow to get a safe car, safe house, clothes that fit the job, repairs on those items, because we keep pay too low to do otherwise. And you better not need any medical treatments.

Disclaimer: I did not read the WaPo article (not going to give PII to read about fed govt), so don't know if it said what the debts are, or if she is current on payments.

@evacide So messed up. Only the monied able to rule. My ancestors immigrated from that kind of society.

@evacide I'd love to see folks at DefCon fundraise to mitigate most of those.

@evacide I hope someone anonymously can set up a go fund me and require anonymous donations, and pay off her debts. I don't want only rich people being appointed to important positions. If it's anonymous all around there's no way anyone can complain. And better than a mysterious unknown benefactor.
