Please post when you get a chance. I missed this comment of yours today until now.
I had an interesting conversation with a scholar and gentlemen. Essentially after the equivalent of half work day of his time, I was asked to respond if I desired by sending an email back to him. 3.5 hours of exchange. He wanted to observe and hear me tell him for nearly an hour about myself prior to any substantial discussion. I would say he got due diligence and in return I was given a consolation prize of some read meat - Here on FR so many topics have been kicked around; tonight I was party to the scope that you will never hear; right out of the courtrooms from the SCOTUS to District Courts of DC. I heard about JF’nK and his actual military and intel records; the other Kerry who lost a leg and was running for president... Benghazi, the nuance of Rep and Dem packaging of the same programs for their audiences and the policies.
My issue was revolving around service at the Dept of State. Also, I asked them to try to fix what I feel is a security risk for members of the intelligence community working overseas which they will put into the right hands - something nice from JW to the Govt;)
The reality is depressing to hear from the inside - but what I heard was instructive to the bigger picture of what is going on in DC.
I don’’t want to rehash this over and over. Just let you all know that there has only been successful whistleblower in the history of government, and none of us will be number two. If you have an issue run it by JW.
