Those who give out clearances don't appear to be taking them seriously, either.

Unless they set her up to out herself...

Either gross incompetence or a trap that was sprung.

Could be a bit of both.  IMO "intelligence" has been so outsourced and politicized they are far from where they need to be.  Poor controls, inefficiency, and a subpar product.

But if they are starting to catch such leakers purposefully - it's a good start.  You can't protect the country if you can't keep your own house in order.
