That's what all of the documents seem to be from. To be clear, the FBI wasn't keeping tabs on Jobs because they thought he was up to no good, it was the standard background check they do when someone is being considered for a high level government position.
Now the speculation starts as to who the people were that the FBI interviewed.
He was being considered to an appointment to the export council. Lots of testimonies about his out of wedlock child, drug use, and dishonesty. For and against. The FBI concludes in support of Jobs.
Also, in 1985 he received blackmail for one million dollars or 4 bombs. It's right at the end.
And why would you ever ever release information on vetting ok Steve is dead but all the people who where interviewed are not and neither are Steves family.
Would you like to read a recently deceased loved ones warts and all developed vetting report - what public interest is served by this.
It is also open to abuse by muck raking hacks I sure Guido Fawlks would love to see the files on Polly Toynbees (Guardian journalist) dad (who was best mates with Burgess - one of the cambridge spy ring)
The purpose is to enable government transparency, and since the taxpayers paid for that information to be gathered, they deserve to see what their government servants did in their name.
While I'm generally in favor of FOI, the public interest of disclosure needs to be weighed against the impact on both privacy and the integrity of the security vetting process (strong privacy encourages frank comments). In this case the benefit of disclosure is almost entirely to help us gossip about a celebrity so I feel the disclosure is not warranted.
Voted down Jesus H Crist! From the information this isn't how much some litte town in some fly over state spent of running the dog catching service.
Its the results of a TS Clearance Vetting FFS. Do you think people are going to be open about some one if potentialy its going to be vomited over the internets whilst they are still alive.
