If you miss a day of work because of IBS or taking a family member to rehab, that's a personal matter. If you have to resign your public sector job - Max Nov 13, 09:56 1
- Oh, well, when you put it that way .. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 10:03
Since he was director of the CIA, state secrets were automatically involved. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 09:40
I don't. -- nm - kelly Nov 13, 09:10
no big deal. happens all the time. -- nm - CQ Nov 13, 08:59 5
- I think he was set up. It's all part of Obama's master plan to turn us all into a communist Muslim third world country -- nm - CQ Nov 13, 09:02 4
  - either that or he took one for the team to divert attention from something else -- nm - decline Nov 13, 09:03 3
    - Obama's affair! If I end up dead this is why. -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 09:05 2
      - likely why...I've offended alot of people... -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 09:06 1
        
        I sure hope I don't have to bite Captain Picard's nose off like in Conspiracy Theory... -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 09:07
Not that he was having an affair, no. The stupidity of thinking a gmail address wouldn't be cracked, yes. -- nm - Kim Pine Nov 13, 08:59 5
- it might have been fine had she not used that same account to send hs -- nm - mara Nov 13, 09:03 1
  - harassing emails. -- nm - mara Nov 13, 09:04
- one thing I read was that the gmail address was shared between him and the girl. No electronic trail as they just left messages to each other in draft - Beaker Nov 13, 09:03 2
  - as anyone who reads Vince Flynn or Brad Thor novels that's how spys talk to each other... - You Only Remlik Twice Nov 13, 09:07 1
    - It was also a plot point in (spoiler) - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 13, 09:30
Affair? No. That she supposedly had access to classified info? Big time. -- nm - TWuG Nov 13, 08:56 1
- she spent enough time with him that she did. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 09:41
What bothers me is that the head of our spy dept. got caught so easily -- nm - decline Nov 13, 08:55 1
- This. -- nm - volnelk Nov 13, 08:56
Nope. -- nm - Krusty Nov 13, 08:54
I care about as much about his affair as I cared about Clinton's blow job. -- nm - Jim Nov 13, 08:52
He sure seemed to use a lot of his working hours emailing. -- nm - Spawn Nov 13, 08:46 12
- he should have just done Blood Feud and stayed out of trouble... - You Only Remlik Twice Nov 13, 09:01 11
  - For the record, my IR player is still on David's team. - Spawn Nov 13, 09:11 10
    - And his is still on the waiver wire. -- nm - spamlet Nov 13, 09:15
    - You don't have an IR player. Re-read the rules posted on the board. -- nm - David Nov 13, 09:12 8
      - As I told you before, I do not have a link to the BOP Blood Feud Board here. I have a link to the Blood Feud Yahoo League and board. - Spawn Nov 13, 09:24 3
        
        And whose fault is that? - David Nov 13, 09:25 2
        
        I really hope you're just tweaking him because this is a terrible, terrible decision if not. - spamlet (iPhone) Nov 13, 09:40 1
        
        (check the board) -- nm - David Nov 13, 09:41
      - Spirit of the rule? It's posted in our league....c'mon. - Will Hunting Nov 13, 09:19 1
        
        That player has already been waived. Also, the trade will be negated if that is NWBR's wish. - David Nov 13, 09:21
      - OFFS. Posting it in league is clearly enough to make your intention clear. - spamlet Nov 13, 09:18 1
        
        All I ask is that people follow the rules. -- nm - David Nov 13, 09:20
whether they were or were not exposed, the fact the Director of the CIA could have been blackmailed over it is the huge issue -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 08:46 13
- Anyone can get blackmailed over any mistake they've made if someone is motivated. - TFox Nov 13, 08:52 12
  - that's how the rules work. If you have an affair you must disclose it. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 09:42 1
    - You have to disclose financial troubles, arrests, foreign contacts, and any relationships that might lead to blackmail. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 09:45
  - at that point you have no idea what choice someone will make. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 13, 08:53 1
    - that's why it's one of the rules. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 09:42
  - *shrug* there is a reason the Russians (and ISIS) use the Honeypot method. -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 08:53 7
    - For all I know, there's a rule against it for that reason. - TFox Nov 13, 08:56 6
      - its a Court Martial offense in the military and that for sure he would have been aware of -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 09:04 5
        
        which is why he resigned immediately. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 09:43 3
        
        I missed the three consecutive posts in the same square inch thing. - TFox Nov 13, 09:45 2
        
        Oops, four. I jumped the gun. -- nm - TFox Nov 13, 09:46 1
        
        we're all playing nice now. please read your memos. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 09:47
        
        So then why is it even a topic of debate? -- nm - TFox Nov 13, 09:15
