Wasn't most of Obama's cabinet never vetted or at least not for many months but still handling confidential and secret information? Seems like there were many individuals he appointed that were not immediately vetted at all. Maybe the drug test, contact with foreign nationals, accepting donations (bribes) from foreign nationals (Saudis, China) sections were too limiting for his circle of confidants.
Now all of a sudden vetting is super important. It was "nothing burger" time back in 2008.
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry in an address at St. John’s Church, Richmond, Virginia, on March 23, 1775.
