Good job/security screening
Buried in this DoJ release is a statement about ‘romantic interest’:
“Thompson transmitted the classified information in the handwritten note to a co-conspirator, in whom she had a romantic interest. The FBI’s investigation revealed that Thompson knew the co-conspirator was a foreign national whose relative worked for the Lebanese government. The investigation also revealed that the co-conspirator has apparent connections to Hizballah.”
If the ‘romantic interest’ began in country, then it most likele was after her last security investigation.
