Ex-CIA agent wants to buy Twitter to boot Trump
2017-08-24
[IsraelTimes] Valerie Plame Wilson is trying to crowdfund enough money to purchase the social media platform, and ban the US president from it
I thought she was supposed to be smart. Clearly she hasn't considered why the current owners of Twitter have not already done this.
Former undercover CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson is looking to crowdfund enough money to buy Twitter so US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
can’t use it.

Wilson launched the fundraiser last week, tweeting: "If @Twitter executives won’t shut down Trump’s violence and hate, then it’s up to us. #BuyTwitter #BanTrump."

The GoFundMe page for the fundraiser with a billion-dollar goal says Trump’s tweets "damage the country and put people in harm’s way."

She says she hopes the fundraiser will allow her to buy enough Twitter stock for a controlling interest in the company.

As of Wednesday morning, she had raised less than $6,000 of the billion-dollar goal.
Adorable.
Wilson’s identity as a CIA operative was leaked by an official in former president George W. Bush’s administration in 2003.
...though not the one who went to jail for it.
That's because she wasn't a clandestine operative. She was likely (moving about with her Ambassador hubby) an employee of various Chiefs of Station (COS) enjoying Official Cover (OC). Party-going wives of Diplomats in 'true name' make pi** poor clandestine operatives. The host country already assumes they are soiled.
She left the agency in 2005.
Come now, no one ever really 'leaves.'
So if they don't raise quite a billion dollars, does she get to keep what they do raise? If so, I wanna buy it, too. My goal is a billion and a quarter so I can outbid her.
Clapper really jumped the shark yesterday. I thought he was a retired flag officer. Evidently he's a psychiatrist as well.
