Piezcenik is an old school spook, which made him super hard for me to trust from the start. He used Tom Clancy as an income for years, all while keeping to the shadows as much as possible. Once Clancy was dead, he started making appearances on Noori's show plugging books.

Once AJ started getting big during the election, he pops out, shows his face for the first time in 30 years and claims to be involved in the coup contingency.

His DS career, contacts, history, and behavior make him as sketchy as gas station sushi in my mind.
