It is not just having an affair with some random person and using poor judgement. It is a person what was crafted with you as a target. The whole thing is weaponized.
I have never cheated in a relationship and it is not something I would ever consider. It is easy to say this though knowing I am not going to be the target of an intelligence agency honey pot.
I'm no expert on having affairs, but isn't secrecy key to the whole thing? At least secrecy from the spouse.
If you have no strong desire for secrecy, then is it even an affair at that point? Either the spouse tacitly supports the extramarital fornication, or the relationship is already in tatters.
I believe the actual larger concern here is "in case Jensen didn't want this to become public (whether it was due to the divorce potential or whatever other reason; that's not relevant), what lengths would he be willing to go to keep it under wraps?".
If it gets confirmed that Jensen simply had an affair (without a "shared/did things he wasn't supposed to share/do" component), then it is a nothingburger (for anyone except him and his family).
But until we have that confirmed, the US government is concerned about what critical info he might have shared/done to avoid being blackmailed by an agent acting on behalf of PRC.
What? Nobody involved with Epstein has gone to prison yet. One of them was even re-elected president. If I had to list the terrible things you could do when you're rich and not face consequences, trafficking and raping children would sadly be high up on the list.
Case and point, caught at a coldplay? cheating? Both fired? Lives destroyed?
As for the actor, really? Totally dif industries and people do care. Execs make a company look bad and when actors do too, cheating or not, they also get smacked.
You may not care but most people do and if a tiny spark hits Patrick, his legacy will be destroyed. There are many actors that the public is well aware of how gross they are and are hated for it regardless of ability.
This is just blatantly false.
He wasn't impeached for infidelity, he was impeached for lying under oath and obstruction of justice[0].

The punishment for the cover-up often exceeds that for the crime.
We don’t have evidence around whether Huang is compromised with China. We do have compelling evidence that he tried to minimize fall-out, or potentially even sweep under the rug the problem, after finding out the true identity of this woman. If he did it with Trump, that’s corruption in service of a national-security compromise.
Yes, but they aren't investing him because he was "targetted" in the abstract. They're investigating him because the operation was extremely successful.
Dude was literally fucking a spy. As it were.
