The issue is (highlighted on Charlie Rose show) that CIA employees have a code of conduct that requires disclosing any compromising situations immediately to their supervisors, colleagues, etc., and DP did not do that.

Not broken it with the affair, but broken it by not disclosing a compromising situation.
