Woman Expected To Plead Guilty To Disclosing Unauthorized Info To Hezbollah Sympathizers
(CBS) A woman who previously worked as an FBI agent and a CIA analyst is expected to plead guilty to charges she disclosed unauthorized information to people outside the government, CBS News has learned.
Sources say the woman, from Lebanon, entered the United States on a student visa and earned citizenship through a sham marriage.
While officials say there is no evidence of actual espionage and no evidence that she was working as a spy, she is accused of passing information to sympathizers of Hezbollah, a group the U.S. has labeled a terrorist organization.

this ain’t the only one...The State Dept is as corrupt
And her name is?
Hezbollah clearly qualifies as an “enemy.”
So this is treason.
But the FBI and CIA would rather not have the embarassment of exposing their workings as incompetent. That comes first.
I want to know why this woman was employed by the FBI. Any other non immigrant aka American citizen would be put through the ringer before they are hired. Why didn’t they know about the sham marriage. We are going to PC ourselves right into the grave.
“expected to plead guilty”, “accused of passing information to sympathizers of Hezbollah.”
“no evidence of actual espionage”
Well is that is not spying, what is?
More Cultural Diversity BS.
Executing the 'honeypot sting'.
Valery is that YOU? ? ?
She would have made a great agent. Maybe that was her problem.
When your country is bidding for World Dominion, stuff like this is just a cost of doing business. I trust all of the peace-through-violence types keep this in mind as they stoke their rage.
We need a modern day “Tail-gunner Joe” to weed-out the islam-a-Nazis from our government. Transferring the State department clintonistas is a good start.
“..the woman, from Lebanon, entered the United States on a student visa and earned citizenship through a sham marriage.”
Very important information has been left out. What is her religious affiliation? Who was her husband and what is his religion?
There is no way she could have been a Special Agent, probably hired as a translator.
Former FBI Agent Accused Of Leaking Info
DETROIT, Nov. 13, 2007(CBS) A 37-year-old woman who previously worked as an FBI agent and a CIA analyst, pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges involving her disclosure of information to people outside the government, CBS News has learned.
Sources say Nada Nadim Prouty, a Lebanese national and resident of Virginia, entered the United States on a student visa and earned citizenship through a sham marriage.
While officials say there is no evidence of actual espionage and no evidence that she was working as a spy, she is accused of passing information to sympathizers of Hezbollah, a group the U.S. has labeled a terrorist organization.
Sources say she came under suspicion after performing a number of computer searches unrelated to cases she had been assigned to.
According to a Justice Department press release, Prouty pleaded guilty in the Eastern District of Michigan to charges of fraudulently obtaining U.S. citizenship, which she later used to gain employment at the FBI and CIA; accessing a federal computer system to unlawfully query information about her relatives and the terrorist organization Hezbollah; and conspiracy to defraud the United States.
“It is a sad day when one of our public servants breaches our security and trust,” said Assistant Attorney General Kenneth L. Wainstein. “This defendant engaged in a pattern of deceit to secure U.S. citizenship, to gain employment in the intelligence community, and to obtain and exploit her access to sensitive counterterrorism intelligence. It is fitting that she now stands to lose both her citizenship and her liberty.”

Illegal immigrant worked for FBI, CIA, stole ‘sensitive’ info
Woman was sister-in-law of fugitive La Shish restaurant owner, stole info on investigation

FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER
The sister-in-law of the indicted fugitive owner of the La Shish restaurant chain got sensitive jobs at the FBI and CIA, despite being an illegal immigrant, federal prosecutors said in court documents unsealed today in Detroit.
The woman, Nada Nadim Prouty, 37, of Vienna, Va., also tapped into a sensitive FBI computer to find out what federal investigators knew about her, La Shish restaurant owner Talal Chahine, and her sister, who is married to Chahine.

Prosecutors said she took an unknown quantity of classified information home with her. It’s unclear what happened, or what she did with the information, prosecutors said.
The information pertained to a federal investigation of Chahine and his possible involvement with Hizballah, which has been declared a terrorist organization by the U.S State Department.
In 2002, Chahine and his wife, Elfat El Aouar, attended a fundraising event in Lebanon, where the keynote speakers were Hizballah leaders.
Prouty pleaded guilty to conspiracy, unauthorized computer access and naturalization fraud during a 30-minute hearing before U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn. The most serious charge, naturalization fraud, carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Under the terms of a plea deal with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Prouty would face a prison sentence of 6-12 months, be stripped of her U.S. citizenship and be ordered deported. Prouty hired an unemployed U.S. citizen to marry her in 1990, a year after she entered the country and overstayed her student visa.
However, prosecutors said she won’t be allowed to leave the U.S. because she used to work for the FBI and CIA and has access to sensitive information vital to homeland security.
It remained unclear why background checks the FBI and CIA conducted before hiring her didn’t reveal her illegal immigration status. Also unclear is why the forerunner agency to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement didn’t find out about the marriage fraud.
Court documents said Chahine, who fled to Lebanon in 2005 to avoid tax-evasion charges, vouched for the legitimacy of her marriage.
