No doubt that CIA recruits college students, especially Mormons who have served as missionaries in foreign countries and learned the local language by living with the locals for 2 years. But this McMullin character apparently doesn’t even speak Arabic, despite proclaiming he was stationed in the Middle East. I don’t believe he is near the phony that the “faithless elector” Suprun is, but it appears he embellished his “master spy” resume, which for a presidential candidate, wasn’t that impressive to begin with. Whatever the truth of the matter, if he was the best candidate the Never Trumpers could offer as a Trump alternative, they failed miserably.
Running Romney was too obvious. They were certain that Utah Mormons would go for a fellow Mormon. Not enough did.
Do you think he was working for the agency while he was fulfilling the mormon mission obligation?
