“an outdated CIA chief could very well lose his life.”
Not just the chief can loose his life, everyone he associated with can also loose their lives.
I’ve heard someone say the number of peoples lives now at risk is at least in the dozens and their families lives are also at risk now.
This still fits.
You fire the station chief, people ask why. He gets outed, then he did something to really hack off somebody with juice. The admin outs him.
We don’t know anything at this point. It just seems like the press is trying to whack up all of the events to make it look like they are mutually exclusive.
In the words by many liberals and dictators of all stripes, "You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs."
