I used to shit on podcasts and not have the attention span for them, but this John Kiriakou one is really good

yeah the fact the CIA “allows” him to speak the way he does should be a red flag. he’s very obviously a counterintelligence agent.

The stuff he talks about has been declassified. They’ve gotten him once for mentioning someone’s last name, and if it went to trial, his lawyers thought he might get 12-18 years in prison (he took the plea deal and served 23 months). I’m sure he’s super careful to avoid slipping up

I mean he kinda just says shit we already all know is true. “Oh the intelligence agencies can look through your webcam and see all your metadata” like yeah John, we knew that already, and the guy who actually broke that information to us is currently in exile in Russia because your old friends want his head on a pike.
