Affairs suggest problems of candor and trust. A second affair with an executive-level subordinate confirm them. The fact that one was with a foreign agent calls his judgement into question as well.

It may be the case that his ouster helps certain people. That has nothing whatsoever to do with how the blame should be apportioned or what the sensible course of action is.

That she is a "foreign agent" is not an established fact whatsoever. Sure does make for a good headline though, especially if you want to oust Jensen.

Such a framing does not work when established facts are

- he lied about one affair

- the other one was with a direct subordinate

Put bluntly, it’s a sign of arrogance beyond what’s safe for an executive, and shows a complete disregard for previous examples.

BK fafo’d at Intel with a report and that was that.

Jensen seemingly took that as a challenge and doubled down.

If this level of ego is what’s necessary for this system to thrive, let it all burn to the ground.
