    It’s well known she is a Russian spy. She’s doing what putin is paying her to do.

      Then why wouldn’t she be privately outing officers to the Russians instead of doing it where we can see it? This smacks of incompetence.

        I would argue that the most important duty of an American president is to appoint competent people. But Trump cannot tolerate competent people because he looks unbelievably bad next to them. Remember how stupid he looked at his debate against Harris?

        So, Trump surrounds himself with people who are similarly incompetent as he is. If they’re crooks, they’re like him, incompetent crooks.

          Don’t forget that they are also unbelievably good at fellating him (possibly literally in some cases, but not in public yet). I saw footage of a recent cabinet meeting, and even by North Korean standards it was fucking cringe.

          At this rate, I seriously would not be surprised to see them deliver all this ridiculous praise of Taco on their knees, just before getting down to business…

        Russia is very good at maintaining plausible deniability for things like this. Like the polonium in the tea. Everybody knows, but there’s no proof that Russia was behind it, which makes it harder to take action over it.

        Why would Russia put itself at risk by directly taking out an under cover CIA agent when they can just publicly reveal the agent’s identity and let things take care of themselves?

        Because it doesn’t matter at all. She’ll suffer no consequences whatsoever, so why not do it publicly and let the other spooks know what will happen if they step out of line?

    “…I’d like to conclude this newsletter by announcing our undercover officer of the month, Guy Realname (pictured below), whose work infiltrating the infamous Los Murderales cartel has just been top notch. Thanks Guy, there’s a $5 Starbucks gift card headed your way.”

    In a sensible country, she would be executed for being a Russian asset

      In a sensible country, no one gets executed for anything.

    I wonder what will happen to that officer. They’re identified - do they just roll over and die? Do they make a break for it? A false mustache and stolen passport might get them out if they’re quick enough.

      I would imagine that any undercover operative would have a bug out plan in case they’re exposed.

    Between her and Hegseth I’d hate to be in the intel business.

    Unless, of course, we are talking about other countries.

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
