    Your average FBI guy has a Secret. Who knows what the higher-ups have. But THIS is what I think about their "for the sake of personal safety and National security" line:

    Remember Valerie Plame? The "undercover" CIA agent supposedly outed by some high-ranking Republican whose name I don't remember. This was "outed": She'd beben out of the field for two years and driving to and from work every day to CIA Hqtrs in Langley, VA. Once you turn right on the Chain Bridge you're only going one place. The school crossing guard probably knew WTF she was. That was a total hatchet job trying to get at Bush that failed but it screwed the Republican they claimed outed her. Her own husband blabbed about her to the media first.

    Anyway, I don't want to hear that lame-ass excuse. Do it behind closed doors. Determine who would be compromised and make the rest public. But get another agency to do the investigations. I trust the DoJ to investigate itself like i trust my five years old granddaughter to inspect her own bedroom.
    I think a lot of Air National Guard bases still have F-16s. But then again, Air National Guard base Truax Field over in Madison had F-16s for a long time, but they just got the F-35s.

    I don't recall who outed her either, but I think, no, it was Scooter Libby wasn't it?

    Anyway, I know Trump gave that person a pardon.

    Libby, Armitage, Cheney and Novak

    Consider the source but it was quick check for the name.
