A Hawaiian defense contractor will serve more than seven years in prison for giving classified documents to a Chinese citizen, the Justice Department announced.
Benjamin Pierce Bishop, 60, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, gave classified information to a 27-year-old Chinese woman he was having a romantic relationship with, prosecutors said Wednesday, including information on U.S. nuclear weapons capabilities.
Bishop also gave the woman classified information on training and planning sessions between the U.S. and South Korea, prosecutors said.

They should hang him.
I guess she did NOT in fact Love him long time...
TTIUWOP
Gave her heart to Essex man.
Pillow talk?
Yet they only gave him 7 years; more double standards and uneven balances; China is in no wise an ally.
However, during his stay at a halfway house awaiting trial, he tried to contact his Chinese romantic partner despite being forbidden to do so.
Dang... she must be REALLY good...
He’s 60, she’s 27. Yeah, she hooked him good.
Some things never go completely out of style, like the good old honeypot trap. He’s 60, she’s 27.
long enough, it seems...
Classic honey trap.
I thought Clinton turned over to the all that info to the Chinese long ago.
whenever a woman who is ‘too good looking for me” comes on to me, I instantaneously become extremely suspicious.
I don’t consider myself smarter than the average person and I think that my self control runs a little on the low side.
It amazes me every time I hear about this type of situation and I suspect the “victims” also understand what her aims are, right from the start.
This man UNDERSTOOD his choice.
I would really like to know what sort of classified information a retired Lt Col has that is of any importance whatsoever to the Chinese?
The proceedings of his Federal trial would be interesting, and the who what when and where of the investigation leading to the trial even more interesting.
My sister lives in Hawaii and works for a defense contractor. A phone call is in my future.
nah........it was a honey trap
The old “Honey Trap” is alive and still working.
How stupid (or how egotistical) do you have to be if you're pushing retirement and a sexy young thing comes on to you and you don't think she might be up to something other than loving your for your incredible studliness? Pretty stupid.
But she loved him! Really.
Ancient Chinese secret, huh........
