State Department Employee Arrested and Charged With Concealing Extensive  Agents

A federal complaint was unsealed today charging Candace Marie Claiborne, 60, of Washington, D.C., and an employee of the U.S. Department of State, with obstructing an official proceeding and making false statements to the FBI, both felony offenses, for allegedly concealing numerous contacts that she had over a period of years with foreign intelligence agents.
 
The charges were announced by Acting Assistant Attorney General Mary B. McCord for National Security, U.S. Attorney Channing D. Phillips of the District of Columbia and Assistant Director in Charge Andrew W. Vale of the FBI’s Washington Field Office.
 
“Candace Marie Claiborne is a U.S. State Department employee who possesses a Top Secret security clearance and allegedly failed to report her contacts with Chinese foreign intelligence agents who provided her with thousands of dollars of gifts and benefits,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General McCord. “Claiborne used her position and her access to sensitive diplomatic data for personal profit. Pursuing those who imperil our national security for personal gain will remain a key priority of the National Security Division.”

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Candace Marie Claiborne is to the Clinton administration what Hiroo Onoda was to the Imperial Japanese army. Still in there grifting twenty years later.

Perhaps! I've had a hard day and was looking for good news!  ANY good news!

@skeeter

I think Tillerson has done a fair amount of housecleaning there already and no they are down to the dirty job of rooting them out one by one!

It's still good news - you know she's going to roll over on others to save her own ass.

Wouldn't it be a hoot if she sung, and implicated the Clintons/Clinton Foundation?

Well, now, a chink in the armor, so to speak. I doubt she acted completely alone. Keep the investigation going.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

One can hope... Loral deals come to mind, for starters.

Only thing is she's getting up there in years (not that 60 is "old"), and might have a sudden medical problem. We don't know how deep the tendrils reach.

Certainly hope so!  Wouldn't be the first time something was rolled up in that fashion!

Going to add something slightly unpopular.

I hope the investigators DON'T try to work up the ladder with her. Nailing Clinton - finally - would be lovely, don't get me wrong. But right now, clearing out the entrenched lower level types is WAY more important. She's more likely to clam up on higher-ups, and more likely to spill everything she's got on underlings.

Point of clarification: this isn't a new one.  This is the one from back in March.

It's about a month old but very few are aware of it due to our "news" media deep sixing it!

Agreed. And the State department is just a start. They're everywhere.

I hate to pose this distinct possibility to you.... but....

I don't think he's going to do any housecleaning.  Nice dream, though.
