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.
Having some low-level admin geek leak the Chief’s name would be the perfect way to get this guy on the next plane home. They’d ship him out and send his stuff back next week.
Obama doesn’t have to answer questions about why he had him fired. Get’s around that immediately and makes sure the guy stays quiet and under the radar, just to protect his family.
A friend of mine son just got sent back to Afghanistan a few weeks ago.
He’s in the Air Force.
Before he left he received extensive training for escaping being held hostage, training far beyond anything he had received before. Escaping handcuffs, zip ties, one room buildings, etc.
Someone knew months ago something was coming down over there opening the door for hostage taking.
This has opened the door for hostage taking, before prisoners were just killed.
