Did he mention a clearance level, or just being in the OPM breach? My understanding is that the OPM breach included plenty of uncleared employeesas well.

(I’m not trying to be stubborn! If he really did hold a clearance as a DARPA PM, then I’m wrong in his case.)



You could have been in the OPM database being a janitor at the VA.

Although that wording about "Clearance level" does seem to suggest more than just the baseline government employee background check.


Yeah, that’s the part I’m curious about: there are plenty of “public trust” or SBU roles that I’d expect to have been leaked with the OPM breach that are “cleared” in the pop sense of the word, but are not actual clearances in the US Government’s sense.
