Cream pies are what's up, chocolate preferably. Banana and coconut will totally do, as well as key lime. Pumpkin should be cake with cream cheese icing.
Just FYI:

When I've written and made appearances about Trump's weakness, this is what I'm talking about.
The avalanche of losses (political, legal, cultural) that Trump and his authoritarian ambitions have been dealt are mounting.
The threat is still real, but he's very clearly flailing.

So my pie take is there are no bad pies, but some pies have to be eaten a certain way:
1. Pecan: Always good
2. Fruit: Must be homemade. Otherwise bad.
3. Pumpkin: Best eaten cold at 7 am standing over a sink before everyone wakes up

Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

There’s another possibility. From the article: “ODNI officials said the agency received a tip from a person affiliated with a media organization.” Suppose that media organization was the one that published her name.
This should be a major scandal. The Blaze falsely reported that a former U.S. Capitol Police officer was the Jan. 6th pipe bomber. But it wasn’t just another miss by conservative media promoting conspiracies.
Someone in US intel - at ODNI - was promoting it:

I think Pecan Pie is one of those things that is divisive now because it’s just a blob of sugar with nuts on it but to someone 150 years ago who ate shoes it was probably like having 12 orgasms at once

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.
And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.

The problem with most pies*, especially fruit pies (as contrasted to cake or cookies), is that you need to use a plate.
This is an impediment to sneaking bits and pieces without drawing attention.
