candidate biden about the laptop. and so the point that i made in the op-ed is look, if you are serving actively at the cia, we vote but look, we serve under presidents for whom we voted and those for whom we didn't. when i served in iraq, look, half of us probably voted for president bush and the other half didn't. it doesn't matter. we are focused on our sacred mission of recruiting spies and stealing secrets and the best analytical to the president. that's what we do. but retired intelligence officers can engage politically as long as they don't reveal classified intelligence they are free to speak their mind and that's their choice and carries with it all the implications for them because they are going to have to defend their public statements, and that's what we are seeing right now. >> john: your op-ed is eye opening, no question about that. everybody who is interested in this should read it. quickly before we go about evan
