 I don't know any details on the divorce, but is there any chance he divorced his wife to protect his family once he realized how hard they were going after him?  Just a thought.

 I don't know. I've seen other men persecuted for speaking out and... Sadly, many women break under the stress and just want to get away from the negativity.

 I don't necessarily believe that is what happened, but I like to attribute good to a good man like that.  It could be a little bit of both: she was unhappy with his continued stance leading to discomfort for them all  and he wanted to protect his family.

 It is a good thing to think well of people. 😁

 That's certainly possible, in my opinion. Intelligence operatives are quite literally everywhere. I'm sure he was more than a touch paranoid.
