Ex-CIA Officer and Candidate Says PAC Got Her Security-Clearance Application

[RavenSky]

This is chilling...

A former CIA officer now running for Congress as a Democrat has accused a Republican super PAC of “improperly obtaining her entire federal security clearance application” and “using it for political purposes.”

The PAC responded that it had obtained her application through a Freedom of Information Act request,

They obtain an unredacted CIA security clearance application via a FOIA request. Suuuurrrreeee.

Spanberger’s campaign lawyer Graham Wilson told the Times, “In this unredacted form, this is not a document that the government can provide under the Privacy Act.”

Why not? They got by when they did this to Valerie Plame. With the GOP, anything goes.

From the Rachel Maddow show, the US Postal Service has taken responsibility and that they mistakenly released the forms of others too.

WTF does the postal service have to do with this?

Apparently she used to be a Postal Inspector before she joined the CIA. The position requires a security clearance, so the Postal Service would have done a background check and kept the info on file.
