Did you really intend to suggest that you think that the vetting team would have squashed the raid if they thought that Mr. Kundra actually was involved in something serious, that is, that you think that the vetting team would do a coverup for a nominee?

No, I'm saying he wouldn't be the nominee.

Honestly, I'm not sure how you even got that out of my original post.

I think the people downvoting you don't understand your point. If the vetting team told Kundra that they didn't think he was fit to be CTO, that might tip Kundra off to an ongoing investigation.

The whole thing is a moot point now, because Kundra wasn't the guy they were investigating.

I'm pretty sure a basic vetting is done of the entire "short list" of candidates so the President doesn't waste time considering someone who can't be nominated.
