While the Intelligence Community does not have anything comparable to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, former officers should remember the oath and commitment they made while serving at CIA, and conduct themselves accordingly— even long after they leave. Senator Slotkin’s assertion that CIA officers are receiving illegal orders and should therefore refuse to follow them is now, by her own admission, without basis and recklessly false. Unfortunately, she has now joined the ranks of disgraced former intelligence officers — including the ‘51 spies who lied’ — who’ve abused their IC credentials to advance a malicious and disingenuous political agenda.
