I keep thinking back to Arthur Miller’s play “The Crucible”.

The girls of Salem accuse various people of being witches, and trials are held, and some people are killed. And it goes on and on. Then one of the girls accuses the wife of the judge.

BOOM! Everything changes. The judge announces that this farce must end, there are no witches, trials are over, everyone should be released from jail.

Clapper is like the judge. Things are getting close to home, so he wants an end to it.

I don’t think so.

But Arthur Miller's allegorical play was off the mark. There were no witches in Salem but there were communists in the State Department.

But there were witches in the crucible. The moral was 2 pronged what’s wrong with being a witch and don’t trust snitches.
