Maybe I'm missing something here, but I can't get past the fact that CIA confirmed her employment to Novak. They didn't come straight out and give him permission to print it (which ought to put him in the hot seat, it mystifies me that it doesn't) but the fact remains that CIA outed her.
They didn't have to do that, they could easily have denied it. They didn't deny it, they confirmed it. I can't help but think that is significant.
she wasn't covert. This should never have been referred. Now that it has, we have an obstruction case going on. The whole case is ludicrous. Fitzy STILL cannot establish motive.
