"The officer has acknowledged unauthorized discussions with the media and the unauthorized sharing of classified information," said CIA spokesman Paul Gimigliano.

[ontos-on]

I want to report that Mary told me that Bill and Hillary Clinton gave her 11% of their annual salary in order to regularly divulge informaiton from CIA files that she thought would be damaging to the Republicans and helful to the Democrat National Party. Just wanted to let you all know. Ciao.

It pisses me to no end how the EVIL RATS can lie, cheat, steal, and murder and swing on to hero status and wrist slaps, while the dumb pubs are practically crucified and forced into resigning their posts....FREAKIN UNBELIVABLE!!

[arasina]

This backing-off spin is not surprising. Of course, the media are more than willing to assist. It's 'the meaning of is' all over again.

Nevertheless, I wonder if Mary took the bait on a false story? So the CIA could find out who was doing the leaking to the NYT and WAPO? If this was a sort of internal psy-op setup, she could be the little fish that becomes bait herself for bigger fish.

[Prost1]

She confessed to lying during the lie detector session.
Her confession could be admissible since it was not extorted but voluntary.

All she had to do was deny lying, have her clearance revoked and go home. (IMO)

But, if they had other info on her, the so-called "dead-to-rights" stuff, then her confession would have probably have been witnessed by a lawyer and she is in the process of copping a deal.

[zarf]

Look at all those white people involved in this thing!! All Democrats too!

[cardinal4]

She failed a polygraph. Even if she isnt the one who told Priest, someone did with leaked information. If this was a sting, and that info was farmed out to individuals with variances in the story line, and hers was the version that came back, she's busted..

[tobyhill]

They probably told her that all that would happen "with them" is she would be let go if she admits it so she did and then left. She then realized that they honored their word and passed it on to the DOJ for prosecution. The prosecution now has probable cause for search warrants and subpoenas and everyone around her is freaking out so now she's denying it.

[tomahawk]

What an ugly woman.

[maine-iac7]

Where's Clinnntooon and sKerry? She worked directly for/with them

[Bahbah]

Wasn't there a report that when confronted she confessed, or admitted it???

Yes, just confirmed on Fox.

[M. Dodge Thomas]

M. McCarthy categorically failed a polygraph...

All a conventional polygraph can tell you is that someone is in a psychologically stressed state - if it could tell whether someone was big "truthful" we wouldn't be "water-boarding" people, we would just strap them into a polygraph, play ten-thousand questions, and get much better information than can be extracted by torture.

[Dog]

Who confirmed it?

[Trust but Verify]

It will be absolutely b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l if there are no such prisons but Goss baited a trap with it to see which rat they'd catch.

[RoseofTexas]

Hmmm, just like Sandy BURGLAR...he also confessed and look what he got, a slap on the wrist

[Peach]

Has she taken lessons from John Kerry? This flip flopping on her confession is really something.

[Dog]

Bahbah I think there be another one...a "he"

[Gaffer]

Very scientific and detailed, yet I add that she was/is a 'contruting-Democrat' supporter and, therefore, coupled with a failed agency-adminstered polygraph (which I have taken) IS a LIAR, plain and simple....

[sissyjane]

Another what? Leaker? In the same case, or another one?

[STARWISE]

McTraitor Ping!

".......because the polygraph evidence was likely unusable, any effort by prosecutors to make a criminal case against McCarthy would therefore have to be based on an entirely fresh reconstruction of evidence from other sources. The sources indicated that it was possible, though by no means certain, that prosecutors could still put together some kind of case against McCarthy from evidence untainted by the CIA polygraph inquiry that led to her firing."
