Let the record show that, if the WNP culprit is eventually revealed, I was the first to suggest the title "the Benedict Arnold of our times" for this person. The title has been used before, but apparently only once in some joking reference to baseball player Roger Clemens during a State Department daily briefing.

Afterthought: In a rather fitting coincidence, tomorrow (the 2nd) is the anniversary of the hanging of Major John Andre, General Benedict Arnold's British courier.
