1 high-level civilian contractor

Many former OPS retire into that role.
One day a green suit the next day just a suit, or civvies. The shoes are changed, the mindset isn't.

2 Are you suggesting he was just as prone to inappropriate sharing when in uniform, Skidmark?

5 "secret classified battle plans"
Redundant or poor grammar?

This scummy slob got off pretty easy. But he was a retired colonel after all. Now, if it had been some retired NCO, well, then....

11 Top Secret isn't really that high of a clearance. I doubt any real damage was done hence the two years.
Next time he should just send d**k pics.

13 Something which strikes me about the O'keefe busts, and this, and Swalwell etc., is how confident they are with their Bawds and Johns, like going to a sports event or theater, maybe not an everyday thing but when it is, it is well practiced and expected, and the surprise when it is a sting and the power foreplay bragging, if you will, isn't covered under the hooker's confidentiality clause.

14 Truly, swksvolFF. If I recall correctly, in one recording of such a date, the gentleman target explained to his date (I don’t recall if the date was male or female) that the group had just been warned to be careful about who they told things because James O’Keefe was thought to have taken an interest. And then the target spilled more beans. I continue to be flabbergasted.

It’s like today’s retired Army colonel who sent his girlfriend a screenshot of The Plans so she could understand what he did all day.
