I think there were substantially worse crimes committed by this woman or she wouldn’t have pled to these charges quite so readily.
The whole thing stinks of plea bargain, I wonder how much valuable info she gave up?
Probably not much.
Absolutely. Back in the days when America was run by real men (the '50s and earlier) we executed spies. Nowadays we get cowardly puss like this:
“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.”
And oh by the way, the charges and rhetoric would have been significantly ratcheted up if this spy was a man.
