No, I'm sorry, but that's just silly. If he's gathering intel for TSP, then who's he doing it for? By the looks of it, neither the CSS, nor the Cabinet, nor anyone else has that intel. He used that excuse once, saying OBT was a security investigation, when nobody even knew it was happening.

For the record, while I'm also not sure of what's the best course here, I do think the Assembly has a somewhat mixed record when it comes to acknowledging the severity of security threats, and I also think it's, to a point, wrong to just let security matters me handled through the popular vote of the Assembly.
