The Story of the CIA officer arrested with gold bars just got weirder

I'm starting to think that you NEED to be psycho to work for the CIA. Remember the story of the CIA officer who was arrested after federal agents found over 300 gold bars, $2 million in cash, and over 30 luxury watches hidden in his home? Well, somehow it just got crazier.… pic.twitter.com/xmNS2rFcb1

Apparently, this guy also set up HIS OWN Special Access Program within the government. How do you do that without all kinds of help from the inside?

Oh, and he reported to the NUMBER 2 Pentagon official. So I don't think it's a coincidence that he is one of the few CIA officers ever publicly charged with a crime. It sure looks like they want you to know this and they want him to take the entire fall. When people talk about the deep state, THIS should be a prime example.

I wonder if this is some sort of Psy-Op. The CIA has always had to do lots of dirty work and deception. It may come with the territory, but is not acceptible in regular society. Consider this before passing judgment; While the original directives were classified top secret those were declassified and can be read on line. Agency wide classification policy is governed by Executive Order 13526 and Intelligence Community/agency implementing directives; Modern CIA directives and implementing guidance fall into three broad categories:

Public/unclassified guidance and policies Routinely Classified directives and internal implementing instructions that concern operations, tradecraft, or national-security procedures

You can read that 2009 order at; https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/executive-ord...

Those rules allow agencies to create classified implementing directives, classification guides, and operations controlling what must stay secret. So, this may be an operation to ferret out bad actors or it could be completely true. It would probably depend on if the CIA officer was actually a field operative, administrative section personnel, Internal, security personnel, or executive level. IMHO!

  So you are saying we don't really have a way to know. I get that.

Well, psycho is one word for it.
