58. Garry Trudeau's Red Rascal
Mon Jul 1, 2013, 05:31 AM

That's if he's telling the truth about his motivation. At this point, tho, he's proving to be as full of shit as a Christmas Goose, so the American Flag and Apple Pie routine is probably as fallacious as his claim he could tap any phone in the world. Liars tend to lie about everything.

If this is a blackmail case, compare him to Clayton Lonetree, the Marine security guard who let Soviet agents into the Moscow Embassy cipher room to conceal the fact he was fucking KGB officers.

If it was money, let's compare him to James Hall, the Army warrant officer who sold the complete National SIGINT Requirements List (a document that's five feet thick) to the Soviets, and God only knows how he got it.

Put me down as not giving a shit. Gravitycollapse Jun 2013 #1
