(102,419 posts)I'm not saying she's not intelligent (I really don't know one way or the other), but she's not going to burn her meal ticket. If she did not have an ironclad prenup/NDA, I think she might have burned him long before now. So, whether it is that she is resigned to that reality or not, increasingly it looks as though she is as complicit as any of them.

Lawyers for the whistle-blower expressed concern in an interview on Wednesday about officials disclosing their clients identity.
Intelligence officers, by nature, are not people who want to be publicly known, said Andrew P. Bakaj, the lead lawyer for the whistle-blower. If you are an intelligence officer through and through, you are doing this for national security.
The comments by Mr. Bakaj who is representing the officer for free along with two other lawyers, Mark Zaid and Charles McCullough III were the first, however limited, to the press about the case. Coming forward to the inspector general was very risky, said John Napier Tye, the founder of Whistleblower Aid, which is raising money to defray expenses for the complainant.
To have the president of the United States tweeting about you, casting aspersions, it is scary for anyone it is very scary for anyone who works in the intelligence community, Mr. Tye said.

(17,197 posts)As I write. She didn't hesitate for a moment in calling the WB a 'he'.
Her words:
"I can describe that complaint as nothing short of explosive. It is so much more than the summary of the telephone call that has been presented by the White House as evidence, and I'm not even in a position to say that was, at all, even involved in the complaint until it is actually declassified. But I can tell you that I was stunned by the breadth of the complaint and the details with which the whistleblower expressed HIS concerns."
