2 He was fired because he cannot be trusted. If he can’t be trusted then having a security clearance is risky.

Did the CIA mention if his undercover work was related to spying on the Trump Administration?

3 I believe the DS tried this stunt on Trump's first term.

5 Given all the information in the article, we could probably deduce the gentleman’s identity from open sources alone — not that we will. The Wall Street Journal reporter and editors need to bone up on opsec — this was ill done of them.

Also, wasn’t it a big name columnist who revealed Ms Plame’s identity, though he joined the Establishment in gleefully piling on to blame DSoS Armitage?

7 Authorized for release

So? It is the duty of the journalist to judge carefully whether allowing himself to be made a tool of the source is ethical. With limited space the reporter must choose what is put in the published article and what is left out or summarized rather than quoted extensively.

9 Gabbard didn’t know the CIA officer had been working undercover, according to a person familiar with the fallout from the list’s release. Three other people with knowledge of the situation said that Gabbard’s office didn’t meaningfully consult with the CIA before releasing the list.

Who would you trust to consult? Clean house and straighten out the mess faster!

10 Fire the CIA whiner as well. They tried to destroy Tulsi and she appears to be acting appropriately given the situation the Deep State has created.

11 Sounds a lot like CIA ops setting her up. The CIA is the swamp...
