I briefly worked for the CIA more than 10 years ago. It costs the govt a great deal of money to hire a CIA employee. There are multiple rounds of interviews and background checks; they send investigators out to your workplace, school, family members, friends, etc; there are multiple rounds of polygraph testing. Once you're in, you're in.
The only case I ever heard of anyone getting fired was some dumbass who looked at child porn on the company network. Yes, the CIA's network, probably one of the most monitored networks in the world.
The CIA also has something like 30,000+ employees ("blue badges") and god knows how many contractors ("green badges").
Given how every CIA operation somehow involves creating a child sex trafficking network, I'm shocked they fired the guy for looking at child porn. I'd expect them to give him a hi five or something.
Person in question probably left too many trails, made it too obv. The stuck out nail and all that.
