The DOJ has charged a 15-year veteran of the CIA with selling US secrets to China - after he accidentally revealed his spying to the FBI, according to NBC News - which notes that "The method prosecutors said they used to get him to reveal the nature of his espionage was worthy of a spy novel itself."
Court documents said 67-year-old Alexander Yuk Ching Ma of Honolulu was charged with violating U.S. espionage laws.

ReplyDeleteEvery bureaucrat, armed or not, at a third the way up the ladder on to the top, needs a permanent haircut. And those who replace them need to weed out the anti-Americans, white-haters, anti-Christians, communists, and socialists from those below them. That needs to be their first job. Then they need to keep that bars in place and begin doing what they were supposed to be doing.
No great hopes. They can't even get Brennan or Comey. At least they have one or both of them blocked from secure intel, finally. Bleh.
Why does an linguist in a FBI field office have access to ‘guided missile and weapon systems’ info? Something does add up here.
