Carrie wants desperately to get back in the action via blackmailing the acting CIA director. In her speech to him she accuses him of treason, which we all know is bad. But apparently it's ok as long as she gets what she wants, the Islamabad post.
The reasoning she uses to stay quiet as long as she gets her way, and to also get away from her child makes it hard to route for her anymore.
Remember, it's ok to cover up treason, as long as you get the job you want in return smh
