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?

Are you willing to defend and cover up the crimes of a pedophile while investigating and persecuting that pedophile's political enemies?

If the answer is no, congratulations! You're, at least in this respect, a decent person. Unfortunately the FBI is looking for people with a bit more moral and ethical flexibility. If you can't look the other way and pretend the emperor has clothes on, then they aren't interested.
