Confirmed: Doyle’s “Full” Security Check Skipped TIME Bosses

Why did Homeland Security investigators approve former spokesman Brian Doyle’s Top Secret clearance, despite his prior trouble with pornography? Because they didn’t interview the confessed pedophile’s former employers, according to a new report:

… sources [at TIME magazine, Doyle’s former employer] tell Newsweek two of Doyle’s former supervisors weren’t contacted by government investigators, who conducted a ‘full field’ background check on Doyle two years ago in connection with the ‘top secret’ security clearance he needed for Homeland headquarters.

Two points to Newsweek for getting Doyle’s mug shot on their own.
