"CIA employee David Rush created a fake "special access program" (SAP), a sensitive intelligence tool that has highly limited visibility even within the CIA.

The meshugenah was arrested late last month and charged with theft of public funds based on a lie about joining the USN Reserve after serving in that branch of the military, from which he was discharged in 2015.

Mr. Rush, a CIA officer for 17 years, was arrested on 19 May after FBI agents found 303 gold bars weighing about one kilogram each in Mr. Rush's home. The agents also seized nearly three dozen luxury watches, many of them Rolexes."

The USIC, DOD, FBI, and DOJ have so many "Special Access Programs" (SAP) that this incident shouldn't be a surprise to insiders. I was "read on" to several SAPs over the decades while I was in US Army military intelligence and at DIA. The USMS Witness Protection Program is considered a SAP since only certain DOJ personnel are "read on" to it.

An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Nothing more than what Trump does.

I'm pretty sure that they'll burn this guy.

The money Trump is looting? We'll have to claw every penny of it back.

I hope that we are honest enough and brave enough to do that.

Why am I not surprised by this latest antic of C0RI0LANUS?

Why is he bound-and-determined to destroy the only alternative to Trump, MAGA and the GOP: The Democrats.

Watch what he says, not his "polite" routine.

He's a snake in the grass.

I doubt the hard-working American taxpayer is ever going to see the pelf clawed back once the nefarious Trumpf junta has been ousted from power on 20 Jan 2029.

The French and Russian peasants had to settle for the heads of the elites and their seized properties.

The US Senate, the oligarchs, AIPAC, and SCOTUS-- defenders of the wretched status quo-- will all still be here on 20 Jan 2029, even if Superman takes over the White House from the Incredible Trumpf.
