DOES MIKE McCONNELL THINK WE ARE ALL FOX NEWS FANS?

(h/t WSJ)

The Wall Street Journal provides a video of Mike McConnell, former DNI head and now at Booz Allen Hamilton, telling his audience that the federal government vetted Snowden.  That's a big FAIL:

As Edward Snowden prepares to defend himself in a worldwide webinar Thursday, the Justice Department is accusing the private contractor that vetted him and thousands of other intelligence workers of bilking U.S. taxpayers out of tens of millions of dollars by conducting phony background checks.

USIS, the giant private contractor that conducted the background checks of both Snowden and Washington Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis, is accused in a Justice Department lawsuit filed Wednesday night of conducting 665,000 fake background checks between 2008 and 2012.
