No One Will Be Getting Fired for Leaking Afghanistan's CIA Station Chief ID

No one will be dragging a disabled guy into court over it. No movies will be made about it. No one will even be getting fired. Like a public school, Obama doesn’t fire people unless he really has no other choice.

And not even then.

Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) told Breitbart News on Monday that the CIA station chief in Afghanistan revealed to reporters through a White House e-mail is no longer serving at that post.
“It was irresponsible enough to expose him and it’s my understanding that he had to leave,” Portman said. “I don’t know [if he’s out of job], but this is Governing 101. You don’t mess with the station chiefs,” he added.

The Ohio Republican believes the former CIA Station Chief is now in a safe location away from those who want to do him harm. The Obama White House announced almost two weeks ago that an investigation was launched to examine how the name of the CIA’s station chief in Afghanistan was sent to the press during President Barack Obama’s surprise visit to U.S. troops there recently.

Good news. The investigation is over and no one is responsible. It’s another Obama Investigation (TM).

The White House said it determined that the release of the name of the CIA station chief in Afghanistan was unintentional and said they don’t know of any disciplinary action that has been taken.

Those who investigated the release of the CIA official’s name “were not focused on trying to isolate any specific wrongdoing because this disclosure was inadvertent.”

“I won’t get into the specifics of who actually the Counsel spoke to in the context of this review,” Earnest said.

The investigation, which wasn’t intended to identify wrongdoing, didn’t. It’s another Obama Miracle.

Why get fired for following an order?

What does it take for Boehner to begin Articles of Impeachment for the Democrat’s Obama?

Obama could murder a small child on stage with cameras rolling and the RINOs would still be hesitant to bring impeachment proceedings.

Rules are for the serfs, not for the ruling elites.

Just issue anyone involved with an honorary contempt citation and we can move on to the next scandal;
they have something to brag about at parties and the GOP-e can feel good about itself.
Today, it’s Iraq falling due to Obama and Clinton’s fecklessness; tomorrow, Americans being ordered to welcome minor illegal into their homes. Who knows with the insane clown troop running this circus.
