used to deny me a tsc for the FBI? I was denied clearance last year and they never really told me why so I did a FOIA request to get everything.  Well, a year later I finally get a box with all the findings. As I am looking through it, there is no negative information about me....until the end. My last employer they talked to totally screwed me and it was all lies.  I had 9 positive responses form employers and this one negative and it effectively ended my chances. They never bothered to give me a chance to respond to what this employer said, they bought it hook, line, and sinker. What can I do? I don't care about the job anymore, I just want some vindication.

Thanks so much for your response. I am so frustrated and feel helpless. I am clueless. How do I find a federal lawyer? Would I be going after my old employer for slander or something?
