‘Undercover’ Spy At Center Of WSJ Sob Story Is Actually A Public CIA Russia Hoaxer

We’ve grown accustomed to corporate media lying to us. It’s the lazy lies that are perhaps most galling.

The Wall Street Journal’s recent overheated piece on the Trump administration’s public revocation of an “undercover” senior CIA officer is ridiculously lazy. The CIA spook in question is a very overt member of the intelligence community. Just Google the name Julia Gurganus. ‘Zero Concerns’

Wall Street Journal national security reporter Brett Forrest on Wednesday reported that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s naming of Gurganus on a list of 37 current and former officials stripped of their national security clearances has “alarmed people” inside the CIA.

“Gabbard didn’t know the CIA officer had been working undercover, according to a person familiar with the fallout from the list’s release,” Forrest wrote in the hit piece headlined, “Tulsi Gabbard Blindsided CIA Over Revoking Clearance of Undercover Officer.” He noted “three other people with knowledge of the situation” who claimed the DNI “didn’t meaningfully consult with the CIA before releasing the list.”

Wrong, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation say. A senior intelligence official tells The Federalist that there was indeed staff-level coordination between the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the CIA, as well as other agencies involved, ahead of the distribution of the revocations letter.

“who claimed the DNI “didn’t meaningfully consult with the CIA before releasing the list.”

So what?

Super secret under cover agent Julia Gurganus. Why is a CIA agent planted under cover in our government? Is she an anti Trump insurrectionist planted to sabotage the admin?

So Tulsi “blindsided the CIA” over stripping the clearance of an analyst?

I didn’t know you could blindside your subordinates.
I wasn’t sure about her in the beginning, but I have become VERY impressed with Tulsi so far.

[DesertRhino]

“Super secret” lol. She’s an analyst, not operations. And she routinely gives lectures and speaks at conferences as a CIA person.

Another Valerie Plame style James Bond!

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I don’t believe any national security story that uses CIA and NSA career insiders as sources, period.

Gurganus spoke in 2019 at the hundredth anniversary of her alma mater, the Georgetown School of Foreign Service, and was described as a “former National Intelligence Officer for Russia and Eurasia, Nonresident Scholar at the Carnegie Endowment.”

“National Intelligence Officer” is a great way of telling people you are CIA without telling people you are CIA — or maybe of not telling people you are CIA while letting them know that you are CIA.

I don’t think Gabbard said that all the people on her list were CIA, so if you think Gurganus was outed, it wasn’t by Gabbard but by the people saying Gurganus was outed.

While I’m at it, I’ll throw in a few more Gurganuses:
Gurganus, Gurganus,
Gurganus.

Is there a single case where a spy operated in “in the open”?
