#1 "Was planning on retiring soon from the CIA" - too bad, as Federal caselaw, statutes, or standards presumes retirement, discharge, or general resignation only within the context that no laws or restrictions were maliciously or criminally broken. Even iff she had formally retired, wilful misconduct or crimes committed during the performance of one's official duties is grounds for the Fed to cancel one's pension - not only may Mary lose her pension, but she could also be asked to pay back any and all annuity sums or benefits she was given, plus penalties.

#2 Joe is both sane and correct. Resigning just before being fired for malfeasance doesn't protect one's pension, or keep one out of prison.

#3 She's a typical Lefty weasel. Slammer. Lose Key.

#5 This message, Johnson says, is destroying the intelligence communitys professional ethos.

Given the intelligence communitiies recent reputation for leakage and incompetence, I'd say their "professional ethos" could use a good kick in the arse.

#6 The diagram cut off Clinton from the top of this pile of cretins.

The story indicates to me that she's really not very bright - in that particularly Moonbat manner where arrogance replaces intelligence. She actually believed herself untouchable, too connected and protected, above the law. Now, when she hears the hammer being cocked, it finally dawns on her that she's in deep doodoo.

Just think, she was an NIO (!!!) and privy to so many incredibly sensitive secrets. Scary. Serious blowback on the corruption and politicization of the Clinton administration is long long overdue.

#7 On careful study, Rand Beers has the same finger up his nose as J FnKerry. Remarkable.

#9 On the diagram I posted.... Kerry is a "sink" with no outputs..
That's gotta be incorrect.

#10 No, Walter. You have Kerry drawn correctly in the diagram. Well, if you want to be technical, then his output goes effectively into the.....sinktrap, to say it civilly.
