@emptywheel the more I sit here thinking about this, the more terrifyingly convincing it is@pemalevy -
@astepanovich Also explains why they want to keep it so badly. Cause it's abt intelligence, not criminal prosecution.@pemalevy -
@emptywheel@astepanovich As I think this through, it would account for why the shared info never ended up in intelligence reports -
@pemalevy I think there are even documented cases where FBI recruited based on extramarital affairs.@astepanovich -
@emptywheel@astepanovich If this is the case, wondering if/when FISC and intel committees were clued in. -
