This story makes no sense. How did David Rush get away for so many years with his serial lying about his degrees, military status, and how he was able to finagle gold and cash out of the CIA
David J. Rush was a Senior Intelligence Service (SIS) with the Central Intelligence Agency until recently.
Senior Intelligence Service (SIS) and Defense Intelligence Senior Executive Service (DISES) professionals typically earn a base pay ranging from $151,661 to $228,000 annually.
David is now in the Alexandria County Jail facing Federal Charges. It is unclear when he left the CIA, but in an affidavit filed on May 20, 2026 by FBI Special Agent Matthew T. Johnson, SA Johnson says,
“Based on my training and experience and the facts as set forth in this affidavit, there is probable cause to believe that David J. Rush (“RUSH”) violated 18 U.S.C. § 641 (theft of public money). I therefore make this affidavit in support of a criminal complaint charging RUSH with this offense.”
