Former CIA agent candidate who was doxxed by GOP thinks Dems may not run after what happened to her

In an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, a former CIA agent running for Congress as a Democrat whose security clearance application was inappropriately leaked to a GOP opposition research firm explained updates to her scandal — and why it matters.

Responding to the Postal Service’s claim that her security clearance application was given to the opposition research firm and later to a Paul Ryan-linked super-PAC, candidate Abigail Spanberger said that the explanation “doesn’t change that it was released in violation of the Privacy Act.”


Later in the interview, Spanberger suggested that although she’s part of a “national wave” of candidates with military and national security backgrounds running for office as Democrats, it’s possible some may be deterred after her doxxing.
