She described him as a "hero," but he was literally taking up arms in support of our enemy, Russia.

I have no problem with her keeping her job at literally any other job except anywhere in our intelligence apparatus. She clearly cannot be trusted to keep our secrets and stay on our side in intelligence battles with our enemies. Did the CIA know her son was fighting with the Russian army? You can't even get a job in intelligence if your immediate relatives are not US citizens, for fear your loyalties might waver. Her son was a Russian soldier, for fuck's sake.
