The Justice Department announced on Wednesday that it has charged a former U.S. Air Force counterintelligence specialist with spying for Iran and helping that country target her former American colleagues.

Monica Witt, 39, who was also a Defense Department contractor after leaving the U.S. government in 2008, sought to "undermine the U.S. and help the government of Iran," U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jessie Liu said on a call with reporters. Witt had been given high-level security clearances and had been deployed to the Middle East, prosecutors said.

“Monica Witt is charged with revealing to the Iranian regime a highly classified intelligence program and the identity of a U.S. Intelligence Officer, all in violation of the law, her solemn oath to protect and defend our country, and the bounds of human decency,” Assistant Attorney General John Demers said in a news release.

Witt attended an event in Iran in 2012, sponsored by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, called the New Horizon Organization’s “Hollywoodism” conference, aimed at promoting anti-U.S. propaganda, prosecutors said. The U.S. says the IRGC is linked to terrorism.

There is no excuse for her having that security clearance in the first place.

YES, you CAN discriminate, based upon religion and contacts in a foreign country, when deciding a clearance application.

And it takes those wild and crazy guys at the FBI 6 years to charge her with treason. What incomplete clowns.

Stop making me laugh. She isn’t charged with treason. She isn’t charged with espionage. And she’s been safely in Iran for several years. It’s a joke.
