Bradley Johnson, Agent 006
The former CIA man at the heart of Italygate, the pro-Trump, Qanon-fueled conspiracy theory that satellites and military technology were used to steal the 2020 election from Donald Trump, was fired from the spy agency for unprofessional conduct, according to former coworkers.
Johnson, his colleagues said, had been the target of an internal counterintelligence investigation and an inspector generals probe. He was pulled from an assignment for errors in personal judgment, said a former CIA senior officer who served with Johnson. He had significant problems and was held accountable.
He was dangerous to us, to the U.S. and an agency hazard, said another former senior officer, who like the others, was granted anonymity to discuss internal personnel matters. This officer suggested that Johnson was considered a security threat.
Three other former CIA officers who knew or worked with Johnson used terms like "loon, moron, bozo and dickhead to describe him.
Johnson did not respond to requests for an interview through his LinkedIn account or Americans for Intelligence Reform, where he is listed as president.
Johnson claims to have been a station chief multiple times and a former CIA "chief of staff, although he lists no dates of service or positions on his LinkedIn account, as is customary even among intelligence personnel. He also claims to have been a certified senior expert in Counterintelligence issues with extensive direct experience in the field [and] a senior expert in surveillance and surveillance detection issues.

danger to the U.S." makes me think he was compromised by an enemy country. I'll take Russia for $500 Alex.
