Re: Inexcusable

Well said. Finch would have fully been aware of the consequences of his actions.

As for him maybe having mental health issues, or autism, or any neurodiversity whatsoever, that does not automatically make anyone unsuitable for holding DV clearance or unable to understand the consequences of their actions. DV clearance like Finch had, is always on a very specific case by case basis.

I feel sorry for his line manager/s. They'll have had to have dealt with a shedload of investigative paperwork after all that.
