Well, if you encrypt the content in gmail, and obfuscate the IPs you access it with, you buy yourself a bit of wiggle room--the government will get you, and so will Anonymous, but journos might not.
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Dude, I am not a spy or a hacker and there's no FUCKING way as a NORMAL person I would have an affair through Gmail. If I was to have an affair, which I wouldn't as the DAMNED HEAD OF THE CIA.
Or, as, yanno, ME. Because if I wanted to fuck someone else so damn badly, I would discuss it with my damned partner.
Maybe I should apply to be an CIA bigwig: "Hi, I'm not in super great shape and I'm 40 but I'm NOT A FUCKING MORON WITH MY LADYBITS! Unblackmailable because I anything I'd done in my personal life, I don't give a flipping fuck who knows it! Plus I'm really smart, but I need to work flexible hours, can stay up 36 to 48 hours no prob, and want a standing RX to Ambien so I can sleep when I'm done! KTHXX!"

But tons of normal people would, and a few techies ones would too, with obfuscation layers thrown in. It's certainly got its points over anything involving a phone.
How would you communicate?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I mean, I guess if you're the head of the CIA, you know about burner phones, but that seems like a huge hassle.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
this wouldn't be a problem if his mistress had any fucking common sense tho. If she hadn't emailed one of P4's friends, we probably still wouldn't know about it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm watching an episode of The Cosby Show where an ethnically ambiguous-looking person is encouraging people to play a guessing game to figure out what she is. This does not correspond with any reality I have ever experienced.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I heard the affair's been over for a bit. Maybe that's why she got jealous and sent the threatening emails.

I have not only seen it more than once, I've done it when irritated by people that think there's some big answer to be found.
I mean, I guess if you're the head of the CIA, you know about burner phones
Don't you have to power through a metric shitload of those to not be at extra jeopardy of being found with a physical giveaway?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Problem is this was P4's personal acct
That seems like the big mistake. Especially when it's so easy to create a whole new account to be used for only this purpose.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Hackers getting at the CIA through his gmail account never would have occurred to me. Which I guess proves I am NOT secret agent material.
Hmm, I have a friend who, as it happens, does do a lot of high security work for the gubmint. I wonder how he keeps work and private life separate on the internet.
