I also noticed she testified to not wanting Joe to go to Niger because she had two little kids at home. But for him to go on the tv/lecture circuit all over the country, publicizing his secret mission, that was no problem.
For someone not wanting him to go to Niger because she didn't want to stay home alone, she managed to write a memo recommending him for the trip. Plus she said she had hoped to return to overseas covert duty once her children were older. The kids just turned 7. She's presently 44. In 15 years the kids would be 22. She's be 59 at least. How many CIA analysts who spent all those years working at Langley would be allowed to return to covert status that late in life, whether they were male or female?
