A “sex scandal” is having an illicit affair or something akin…in other words, between consenting adults.
Sexual assault is not a sex scandal, it is a hate crime.

The whole concept of the C.I.A. is bogus. INTELLIGENCE! Save money and shut it down. It embodies the saddest of the sad of 20th century American history.

What a joke! The whole CIA needs to be flushed out like a toilet. It’s corrupt and power mad from the top down.
