HF I WHL CB UC W H SHE I
Her Fake story (cover) was he was a White House Leaker spy, working UnderCover White Hat. He knew it.
Look at her. Does she look like a 25 year old? Or a 30's something professional agent?
SHE would have to clean up some messes, and he hardly knew who she was.
He knows them better than they know themselves.
S/he set them up and they took it hook line and sinker.
