warning about just those kinds ofse threats. quote, fbi special agents are subject to high secure city standards that include rigorous and routine financial background checks, missing payments on debts could createba delays in securing or renewing security clearances and s disqualify for continuing to serve in some cases. the head of the association was asked about that by reporters today. he had a stark response. we have to go through rigorous background investigations to become an fbi agent, annually, agents have to do a financial disclosure. every dollar that is attributed to us has to be documented and if there are any defaults on loans, any missed payments, your credit report, history is extremelyst important because i goes towardsrt your ability to have a security clearance. this lack of funding to the fbi is hurting operations.
