I agree. No way is Gibbs in the loop on this. Or very much else, for that matter. By design, of course. Can't accidentally divulge what you never knew in the first place.
Initially, I figured they'd jettison this doofus in the first month. He's just that bad. The fact they keep him is enormously telling. They've calculated the risk and decided that having Baghdad Bob without the charm was a better bet than counting on the loyalty and skills of an informed operative.
When you “hit a nerve” fake ‘hillarity’ instead of answering the question.
Only difference Hill's is more of a witches’ cackle. Gibbs needs to practice, his is anemic.
