    Another major disaster when the CIA sends the first name and last initial of every new hire in the last two years.

    Great majority of them hired for their expertise on China and being targeted for identification and extrajudicial judgement by Chinese justice system operating in major cities around the country.

    continuing to sacrifice the safety and security of the country in a rush to burn something down...hoooorrahh


    ‘Counterintelligence Disaster’: CIA Reportedly Sent Trump WH An Unclassified Email Naming All Recent Hires

    As part of the Trump administration’s efforts to reduce the federal workforce and break the so-called “deep state,” the CIA reportedly sent the “White House an unclassified email listing all employees hired by the spy agency over the last two years,” reported the New York Times on Wednesday.

    The Times noted that former CIA officials warned that the unsecured email “risked the list leaking to adversaries” and that those hired in recent years were typically recruited and hired for their expertise in aiding missions to combat China. The Time reported:

    The list included first names and the first initial of the last name of the new hires, who are still on probation — and thus easy to dismiss. It included a large crop of young analysts and operatives who were hired specifically to focus on China, and whose identities are usually closely guarded because Chinese hackers are constantly seeking to identify them.

    The agency normally would prefer not to put these names in an unclassified system. Some former officials said they worried that the list could be passed on to a team of newly hired young software experts working with Elon Musk and his government efficiency team. If that happened, the names of the employees might be more easily targeted by China, Russia or other foreign intelligence services.

    One former agency officer called the reporting of the names in an unclassified email a “counterintelligence disaster.”

    Almost certainly a major screw-up although if I was a conspiracy theorist I wouldn't put it beyond the ultimate Chicom mole co-President Musk.

    Not to worry. The email naming CIA agents will be stored away with other sensitive documents in a Mar-a-Lago bathroom. (The previous reading material there, officially classified documents, was removed by the despicable FBI.)

    Waiting for the MAGAts to get their spin on this from Breitbart or Alex Jones so they can start telling us how meaningless this is and also worth it as long as it upsets the libs.

    Guess they were figuring that they are firing employees on probation anyways. Although I would prefer to see an official from CIA confirm the accuracy of the report. My agency also had to provide a list of employees on probation but we didn’t provide actual names

    It is a great strategy to onboard hoards of loyalists.

    Trump is an un-American criminal. It would be redundant to say that he doesn't give a shit about our country.

    It's sort of interesting to watch his cult sit idly by during all of this un-American criminality, but they've shown us already that they're loyal to their Trump ahead of America.

    It will be interesting to see the next time there's a Democrat president. How could their voters not insist that they instantaneously fire every single person Trump ever hired? And go ahead and break the law, we'll see what the courts do.

    That's the new standard, basically what Trump is doing. He's dragged America into his cesspool.

    not sure what you are getting at here. quoted 4 paragraphs. if you don't like the fact that I don't use italics, I can block you so you don't get confused as to what is mine and what is from the article or you can block me such that you aren't so triggered by it to have to continue to comment about my posting style. don't need the smart ass comments about my posting style so I will save you the trouble of having to see my posts anymore. if the fact that I don't use italics bothers anybody else that much, let me know and I can spare your sensibilities too
