19. Why is it interesting that Google doesn't find out

what his profession was? Does Google know what you did in the past 25 years? You know who does know? The investigators. They know.

Absence of information does not imply that there is damaging information. It is just absence of information.

Military intelligence is a very broad thing. As I said, I was in military intelligence, as were many, many thousands of people during the Vietnam War. It's a very broad-based description, and is meaningless unless you know what part of it he worked in. I was a Russian Linguist. That gives me approximately zero influence on anyone, and I can't even speak Russian much anymore.

Either find actual information or wait for it to appear. Speculating on stuff is a waste of time. The real information will be used in any investigation or prosecution, not random speculation by either newspapers or DU posters. Evidence, not speculation.
