So this whistleblower leaks information about how the cia could hack devices and upload information on to them. Then they find csam on his computer?
Crazy how that happens
At least it wasn't suicide from two bullets to the back of the head
The CIA doesnt assassinate their own. All the deaths are through gross negligence.
Legacy of Ashes tells the story of perverse CIA incompetence.
Anyone know more information about the child pornography charge? Entirely possible it's real, but the detail that investigators found this at his house under three layers of encryption (and still apparently decrypted it) sounds a little odd.
What a fucking hero. Salute.
Did you even read the article
Honestly, while it's entirely possible he is legitimately a pedophile and has CSAM, I think it's entirely likely that it was just out there to further incriminate him. It wouldn't be the first time
I was referring to his reasons for doing it being vindictive. He's no hero, and may also be a pedophile.
I'm always surprised when people online have a seemingly supernatural ability to detect sarcasm. /s
