The CIA used unclassified email to share a list of employees hired within the last two years to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
The agency sent a list of first names and last initials of employees still on probation — a status that makes them easier to dismiss as the CIA pushes ahead with plans to shrink its workforce.
The nature of the communication risks compromising the identifies of the agents — sparking immediate condemnation by intelligence leaders.
According to The New York Times, some of the CIA’s newest agents were hired to focus on China, making their identities a top target of the Chinese Communist Party.
The CIA is also participating in a government buyout that was not initially made available to its employees, as those working on national security were initially exempted from the offer.
It’s unclear how broadly they are being offered, as certain high-priority positions will still be exempt.

Oh
NSA also received a request to list all employees under two years
Okay, other than straight up incompetence what’s the point? Do they just not think there are foreign adversaries that are going to take advantage of this dumb shit? Do they just think intelligence just appears out of thin air?
why would Hillary Clinton do this?
There is a 100% chance this list is now in the hands of Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, etc.
Remember when Republicans were aghast that Hillary Clinton might’ve compromised the integrity of John Podesta’s risotto recipe? Good times.
some guy said that the republicans are inters and that could not be more true. i dont even know if there’s anything else that could explain all their behaviour. they are literally griefing their own country.
I mean normal analysts probably use unclassified email every day. Not really a scandal there. I imagine they wouldn’t disclose actual spies…
