    Spicer is literally saying that the ONLY vetting they consider necessary (re: Flynn) is whether someone has a security clearance.

        And, bc Flynn had a security clearance previously under the Obama admin, Spicer's arg is that the Trump admin needed to do no add'l vetting.

        The fact that he was going to be National Security Advisor this time around didn't warrant any additional vetting?

        Why do your own homework when you copy someone else's work? Plus, he was a pitbull for Trump; loyalty outweighs reason with this POTUS.

        Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Aldrich Ames along with every other KGB/FSB mole have security clearance when they decided to play spy?

        It's pretty clear Trump Admin did zero vetting of its and relied solely on past vetting. Flynn is likely not an isolated case too.
