(101,295 posts)4. He had a "do not admit" order for the White House, because he is such an asshole
Well before Sebastian Gorka went public Friday with claims that he had resigned as deputy assistant to the President, an order barring him from entering the White House complex reportedly circulated among Secret Service staffers.
MSNBCs Chris Hayes obtained two emails, sent at 6:45 and 7:15 p.m., notifying Secret Service staff that a do not admit order had been issued for Gorka and that his blue badge allowing him free rein of the White House and neighboring Old Executive Office Building had been deactivated.
Mr. Gorka is more than likely still in possession of his PIV and the WH Pass, as his DNA status was performed without him being on Complex, read the second email obtained by MSNBC, which was sent to the Joint Operations Center that runs security for the White House complex.
At 9:11 p.m., less than an hour after Gorkas resignation letter was published on the conservative website The Federalist, a White House communications staffer said in a statement to the press that Gorka did not resign, but no longer works at the White House.

Now they want to let him loose on education? As if the students don't have enough to contend with, like Covid-19 and DeVos.

last name is one of the main reasons he got the gig. The other probably being that he's a grifter.

(37,158 posts)7. About what you'd expect:
A Trump-humper who goes on FOX and writes stuff fawning over Trump and slagging Democrats.
https://bigleylaw.com/sean-m-bigley/security-clearance-attorney
Sean M. Bigley is a national security attorney and managing partner of Bigley Ranish, LLP. Mr. Bigleys practice primarily encompasses defending federal employees and contractors in security clearance denial cases. He also provides personnel security counsel to major international defense and aerospace corporations, and prosecutes intelligence community whistle-blower retaliation cases under Presidential Policy Directive (PPD) 19.
Since first opening his firm in 2013, Mr. Bigley has grown it from a solo practice to a five-attorney partnership with employees in three states. Bigley Ranish attorneys regularly appear before administrative tribunals at agencies ranging from the CIA to the Department of State, representing nearly 200 American intelligence officers, diplomats, armed forces personnel, and other security clearance holders each year around the world.
***
A recognized expert in security clearance matters, Mr. Bigleys commentary on the topic is regularly sought by major media outlets. He has appeared multiple times on Fox News Channel, contributes occasionally to the Wall Street Journal, and writes a regular advice column for Clearancejobs.com.

(37,158 posts)9. Background: National Security Education Program
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Education_Program
National Security Education Program
The National Security Education Program (NSEP) is a U.S. federal government initiative to enhance the national security of the U.S. by increasing the national capacity to understand and interact effectively with foreign cultures and languages. NSEP oversees nine critical initiatives designed to attract, recruit, and train a future national security workforce. Some funding comes in exchange for a commitment to U.S. federal government service upon completion of academic study. NSEP is aimed at building a wider pool of Americans with foreign language and international skills by involving participants in "innovative, intensive, and long-term programs designed to provide meaningful opportunities to gain significant competencies in these languages and cultures." [1]
NSEP was established by the National Security Education Act. Oversight for NSEP is provided by the National Security Education Board (NSEB), which meets "to review and make recommendations based on program mission and objectives." The NSEB consists of a 13-member board including representatives from seven Cabinet-level departments. Six non-federal members, appointed by the President also serve on the NSEB. The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (OSD/P&R) provides policy oversight to NSEP.
On February 6, 2012, the Defense Language Office and the National Security Education Program were merged to form the Defense Language and National Security Education Office.

It wouldn't strike me as Seb's forte, until you factor in that the people he'll be bringing in to the national security work force are neo-Nazis and Russian agents.
