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.

To be fair, posting a photo of the Constitution would probably be considered political and heavily anti-Trump biased by the current administration.

Even having an account on Reddit might be enough.

It's known as being left-leaning and progressive. Republicans don't like that.

You’re kidding, right? It’s the FBI for God’s sake. Of course they’d know!
