OK, America, it's time to wake up and cut the shit. I have no dog -- zero -- in any partisan fight, but let's discuss what's happened here. It's truly shocking. /1

nytimes.com/2018/08/28/us/…
A former CIA official's SF86 (ie SSBI to obtain or keep TS/SCI) information seems to be out there -- and is being exploited by her political enemies. This is a VERY serious development, on both the privacy and the counterintelligence fronts. /2
Either her political enemies have a mole inside CIA who's breaking a mountain of laws, or this is tied to HoIS. Remember when the PRC made off with several million SF86s in 2015 because OPM can't shoot straight? Yeah, that. /3
No matter what, this comes back to @SpeakerRyan and @DaveBratVA7th -- are you exploiting a criminal for illegal political purposes against a loyal fellow American -- or are you in bed with Chinese intelligence? Choose. There is no 3rd option.

Looking at you, boys.

/4X
@SpeakerRyan @DaveBratVA7th Heads up, time to get real here.

OH LOOK ===> That Kilimnik guy again!

Sharing polling data with a known Russian spy sounds pretty...espionage-y, even for Paulie Walnuts.

theguardian.com/us-news/2019/j…
Moreover, we can drop "alleged" -- Kilimnik boasted for years to everybody about his GRU connections; and Putin himself has been admirably clear about the non-existence of "former Chekists."

Backgrounder (note the date):

Odd, no?

"The contacts, private chats and financial details of figures from every political party - except the far-right AfD - were posted on Twitter."

I would be too.

"I am outraged that I am learning about the data leak from the media, even though I am a member of the parliament's Intelligence Oversight Committee and Home Affairs Committee"

This is a very important cyberattack. So...Whodunit? As usual, @TomRtweets has a solid explainer, recommended:

"WikiLeaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service. It has encouraged its followers to find jobs at CIA in order to obtain intelligence. It directed Chelsea Manning in her theft of specific secret information ..."
"And it overwhelmingly focuses on the United States, while seeking support from anti-democratic countries and organizations. It is time to call out WikiLeaks for what it really is – a non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like Russia...."
"In January of this year, our Intelligence Community determined that Russian military intelligence—the GRU—had used WikiLeaks to release data of US victims that the GRU had obtained through cyber operations against the Democratic National Committee...."

He wakes up once again to an empty room. He looks for his phone which he finds at the dresser with his car key. His shoes neatly arranged next to the closet and curtains drawn.

He checks the bathroom but there is no sign of the younger.

Failing to have his call picked up,
he sends a text and starts to feel anxious.

Did Kyungsoo run away?

He opens the closet and finds their bags with their wallets inside. It means the other only has his phone with him.

And he's not answering any calls and texts.

He's seriously getting worried.
If before, he could contact his cousin and ask of his whereabouts, right now he doesn't have anyone to turn to.

Just then the door opens, revealing a drenched Kyungsoo. The younger just stands there, at the doorway with a bashful smile.

"What happened to you? Why are you wet?"

I saw George Takei speak last night about his life and career.
A life that has seen Japanese internment camps, the violence that accompanied the civil rights era, the struggle for LGBT recognition and basic dignities.
And a career that saw him offered roles as humiliating stereotypes and having to keep his most important relationships a secret to protect it.
