Yesterday, I said that I was sure there was more to come about this State Dept. employee, and I was right.\u00a0 Here it is:\u00a0 http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-intelligence-state-charges-idUSKBN1702U8<\/a><\/p>\n

Candace Claiborne, 60, was charged in a Washington federal court with obstruction of justice and making false statements to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.<\/p>\n

Her preliminary hearing is April 18. She is under house arrest until then.<\/p>\n

She and an unidentified co-conspirator were given tens of thousands of dollars in gifts and wire transfers by Chinese agents beginning in 2011 in exchange for information about U.S. economic policy in relation to China and other diplomatic matters.<\/p>\n

The US government has several times accused the Chinese of cyberhacking US government agencies and corporations. It appears those accusations had some basis in reality.<\/p>\n

Maximum term for the charges is up to 20 years in the slammer, and a possible additional 5 years for lying to the FBI.\u00a0 Naughty, naughty.<\/p>\n

Nice to see our tax dollars at work, isn\u2019t it?\u00a0 I think it is way past time we cleaned house, but good.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t understand these people: not that slumdog Pressley, not this broad, not any of the Navy officers and senior POs who took bribes from Fat Leonard, not any of the politicians who are rolling in crap handed to them by organizations as corrupt as you can get, and that includes The Weiner.<\/p>\n

I just don\u2019t get it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
