Valerie Plame isn’t a spy anymore, but she plays one in her latest campaign ad
Former CIA agent Valerie Plame is running for Congress in New Mexico. Photo: Valerie Plame for Congress , which looks more like the trailer for a movie about Jason Bourne’s aunt than the start of a congressional run.
In 2007, Dick Cheney’s chief of staff, Scooter Libby, was convicted of lying to the FBI for his role in the Plame affair. And last year, President Trump added Libby to the list of right-wing celebrities to receive a presidential pardon. In her ad, Plame seems to take issue with that. “Mr. President,” she says into the camera, “I’ve got a few scores to settle.”
