Speaking of money and staff behaving badly, it is our solemn duty to discuss the case of Julia Varvaro, the 29-year-old who is serving as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism at the Department of Homeland Security.

Don't worry about it.

That's not a big job.

According to a former romantic partner who filed a formal complaint against Favaro, she is actively on dating sites where, quote, sugar daddies agree to fund the lifestyles of younger women, including one called Seeking, where she offered, quote, mutually beneficial relationships.

According to the Daily Mail, the whistleblower slash ex said he'd spend $40,000.

Not betting that on cash leaving on gifts and travel for Vivara over the course of their three month relationship.

And he thinks she's under financial stress that constitutes a national security risk.

Seems like the government agreed because she was placed on administrative leave after the story came out.

As you know, Dan, our producers are constantly urging us not to kink shame on the show.

Even though I continue to stress that kinks that constitute a national security threat do not count and traditionally have been frowned upon at the highest levels of the federal government.

Well, then what do you do there?

I don't know.

Ask the producers.

Yeah, no.

If people want to go on wherever this is to get some sugar daddies, that's fine.

If you want to be a sugar daddy, that's fine.

Just, you know, just when you have a government job, especially one that involves counterterrorism and homeland security,

I don't know.

You don't want to put yourself in a position of being blackmailed.

There's a lot of pictures of this guy, of the sugar daddy with her that the Daily Mail has published and everyone else.
