this being the C.I.A - this guy is being railroaded or is being made a fall guy.

he will serve a short jail term but at least he will live.

remember folks - C.I.A is the only gvt org that self funds itself & can run entirely without gvt money.

Citation needed.

The CIA receives lots of opaque funding from the US government (at least opaque to citizens trying to FOIA), but just because it’s not easily accounted for doesn’t mean the org funds itself.

I think it's somehow related to the recent whistle blower and or the congressman who sent an open letter to the head of CIA saying "I'm not sure if you're getting my requests through private channels so please call me when you get this". There's something terrible going on in the agency (terrible even by their standards who drown people and revive them) and I think this might be an attempt to bring it to light.
