I repeat:
Find one CIA spy and you may have very good local counter intelligence. Find 12 CIA spies and you have a mole in either the CIA or the State Department.
This looks like a mole to me.
Well, starting at the top, this Administration is riddled with Islamists and Islamic sympathizers appointed with a worldview to the weakening and conquest of the US.
Or you have a paper-pushing seat warmer who wants to pass info to his "friends" without going through normal declassification procedures. It happened in Iraq last year, where a bench-warming military officer wanted to play "good-ole-boy" with his Iraqi counterpart and pass them information above the board.
Nail on the head!
“Find 12 CIA spies and you have a mole in either the CIA or the State Department.”
IF they were actually CIA spies. Remember, Iran routinely arrests any random American and accuses them of working for the CIA. Maybe they are right this time, maybe not.
