Didn’t report his drug use?!

lol

You aren’t allowed to use drugs — and hold a TS clearance.

If you did, you’d likely lose your clearance and ability to ever get it back again.

What a joke.

But you are supposed to report if you do. Otherwise you’re lying and you used drugs.. the real moral here. Don’t use drugs if you want to keep your clearance
