Donald Sachtleben was initially arrested on child pornography charges....
(Lou's brain wants to know: was that child porn habit used as #Kompromat by our enemies??? to blackmail him into leaking??)

But I am pretty good at literary analysis, detecting media bias and recognizing patterns.
Some spin cycle pieces are useful idiocy.
Some are conclusions inferred from incomplete evidence.
Some hot takes, I fear, are worse-some are likely straight up Russian Active Measures.
More to come on this. #Soon
Now, to be clear, I do not love The New Republic. They've pushed a lot of crap imo. But this article on Kiriakou is interesting to me. newrepublic.com/article/148342…
