Originally posted by Sparko View PostWhether true or not that has nothing to do with the analogy I gave. The "action" in the analogy doesn't matter, except that it is something people are up in arms about and not the leak that exposed it. You are just trying to pick apart the analogy because you don't want to admit you are wrong in your debate with Teal. But regardless of whether he was "doing his job" - the fact remains that his words are what is the actual controversy, not the leak, and if he had worded his reports better, there would be no controversy even if they had been leaked. If they had leaked that Hillary was using a government server and following protocol would there have been any controversy? People would just shrug and say "good for her"

That is as far as this can go.

Darroch resigns.
"Although my posting is not due to end until the end of this year, I believe in the current circumstances the responsible course is to allow the appointment of a new ambassador."
The leak was described as "malicious" by head of the diplomatic service Sir Simon McDonald, who told Sir Kim: "You are the best of us."
He told the Commons' foreign affairs committee it was the first time in his career that a head of state had refused to work with a British ambassador.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

When I was young I didn't like steak. It was nothing but a flavorless, shoe-leather tough slab of meat that left me with tired jaws from never-ending chewing. That was because Mom insisted on cooking steaks well done and then letting them cook another 5 or ten minutes just to be sure.
When I got older I discovered just how good a medium rare Ribeye is
I'm always still in trouble again
