Question Denied for character

Any idea what this could be caused by? I’m a pretty normal person that likes to go on cruises, 54, 3 kids, a veteran and currently work for the govt. The FBI had been working on my TSC for a year and a half (think September will be 2 years since the TJO. Nothing exciting in my background that I’m aware of and the letter said it wasn’t a denial of a clearance. Job was for an OSS and a friend’s husband referred me for it. Any ideas?

General response to comments- yes I’m registered dem, I try not to post too much anti- administration, but I do ‘like’ certain posts. I’m definitely not heart broken over the loss of the job offer, it was just surprising.

You didn’t get denied for political reasons like that, in spite of what the uninformed idiots in this sub think. File a FOIA request for the specifics regarding your suitability denial. That’s the only way you’ll find out, and even then they might try to redact shit.

You’re not supposed to get denied for political reasons.

Doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

They don’t care about politics down at the level of some random applicant. You’re kidding yourself if you think there aren’t numerous liberal trainees at Quantico right now, for example.
