Did Fitz really get Tabby


Fired in real life? That's pretty messed up after what she did for him

For real! In hindsight, SHE caught the Unabomber! She didn't have a name, yet, but she saw something in that letter that not even forensic analysis saw. And he worked side by side with them, reading the same stuff as them! He just tossed it like it was another dead end!

And Fitz couldn't even look her in the eye! Didn't try to save her job or anything. He wanted full credit and his ego cost a valuable coworker that'd be there for him. He also used the woman professor to piece together and help with work load.

He pretty much put his family on the sidelines for this case. He's selfish. I kinda have empathy and know he was belittled needed to prove something.

But to actually tell her "Well you did break protocol. You did send the document. You know when you sent the address, what'd you think was going to happen? "

Ummm a**h***, she did that for you. Because she believed in you and y'all were partners! She helped break open the case!!!

Ughh just lost respect! And not to get all feminist but another man stepping over a great woman to get ahead in their career!

Why is gender even mentioned? They were coworkers. He was arrogant and cocky, and would have done anything to get to the Unabomber. Her being a woman had nothing to do with it. And, she didn't catch the Unabomber. She didn't buy into any of Fitz' theories and even joined in mocking him. Yes, she came around. But, it was his ideas. Was it douchey for him to not stand up for her, at least? Yes. But, there was no way around the fact that she'd broken protocol. She knew when she sent that letter she was breaking protocol. I'd gladly lose my job for what she did. It would be unconscionable for her to not do it. Sure, she should be angry. But, if that's how it went down, I admire her.

He offered to fix it for her but she was just turned off at that point. You have to be a real glutton for assr@page to stick it out in gov't long term.
