I’m waiting to see what’s going to happen to that 400 lb big mamma “CIA Agent” who dresses up like a hooker complete with Rhinestone studded CIA jackets. A real skank. When she comes to work, everybody kneels and bows. Probably one of Brennan’s mommas.

This smells like a classic setup. Foreign hackers take down the tools; so leak them to Wiki, and get rid of one of your problem children by framing him for it. Most likely scenario since I don;t think they’re competent enough to prove anything to anyone. They can’t lie to me!

No more boom-boom or steak for this dude again. 33 years old and locked away for life. Might as well put himself out of his own misery, ala Jeffrey Epstein.

F’him

In my law office we would always shake our heads about engineers—they are difficult to represent because they think they are so effing smart. This dude never should have represented himself. Look where it got him.

Most of my friends are engineers. They are smart, but not savvy.

A man who represents himself in court has a fool for a client.
