... the person who released that information was NOT a "leaker," he or she was a whistleblower. BIG fuckin' difference. Patel is the security risk, not the person who dimed him out. Patel is grotesquely incompetent and has NO business in a position of such responsibility. He, like everyone else in this godforsaken regime, is an obscene disgrace to the FBI, and to the country. For that matter, "obscene disgrace" describes the entire Republican Party, and anyone that still votes for them.
