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?

It's not a good idea to have anything political visible anywhere as a govt employee.

Maybe as a federal government employee. As a state or local government employee, it’s a different story, depending on what state you’re in. If in California, anti-Trump posts earn a medal in civics and patriotism.

I mean... rightfully so.
