Another update from your FBI on our efforts to defend the homeland and protect the American people.
Today, State Department employee Michael Charles Schena was sentenced to 48 months in prison for attempting to sell out his country.
He was paid to use a covert communication device to take pictures of CLASSIFIED documents containing national defense information and then send them to individuals he believed worked for the Chinese government. Schena’s actions directly undermined U.S. national security and put Americans at risk.
No amount of money is worth betraying your country, and the FBI will do EVERYTHING in our power to bring traitors like Schena to justice.
I’d like to thank @FBIWFO, @FBIRichmond, DOJ’s Office of Enforcement Operations, and DOS’ Diplomatic Security Service’s Office of Counterintelligence for their great work safeguarding our country’s most sensitive information.
To all the current and past U.S. government clearance holders out there, the threat is REAL. Please remain vigilant against China’s aggressive attempts to target you and report all suspicious contacts to the FBI.
God bless America, and all those who defend Her.
1 scumbag spy down and how many more to go? Just think how much bigger this could be if the FIBbies hadn’t been politicized as an arm of the DNC for the last decade. The CCP is merely one tentacle of the cabal wanting the demise of the USA.
EXACTLY what I was going to say.
Should be death. At least life w/o parole.
Those will be a very long 48 months. The other inmates won’t be friendly.
What happened to the firing squad?
With only 48 months, justice has not been served.
It's always surprising ... and disgusting ... how cheaply these bastards sell out.
Supplying secret information to the largest enemy of the US, and only 48 months in prison? This could kill more Americans then 9/11 did or Pearl Harbor.
Traitors should be dealt with severely.
Now how about BHussein Osama, Brennan, et al. ...
The penalty for treason used to be death.
S/B 148 months
Hey, only 48 months for treason? What happened to the rope and the drop?
“ Only 48 months!”
That’s 1,440 days of getting bent over in the shower.
Look at it that way and smile.

Unless this chump is turning evidence against other participants, there is no reason for him to get four years in federal prison.
