A 37-year-old woman who previously worked as an FBI agent and a CIA analyst, pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges involving improper access of information, CBS News has learned.

Sources say Nada Nadim Prouty, a Lebanese national and resident of Virginia, entered the United States on a student visa and earned citizenship through a sham marriage.

[thegreatbeast]

Holy crap! How did her sham marriage get past FBI AND CIA screenings?

Seriously, can we get some adult supervision here?

[PLMerite]

The Clintons have a sham marriage and look how far they’ve gotten.

[cripplecreek]

Somebody is about to become a left wing hero.

[Hacklehead]

I’m sure like Pelosi and Reid she considers herself a patriot and loves the US. /s

[Sacajaweau]

Did she do lunch with Valerie?

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Is this another of Valerie Plame’s aliases?

[zerosix]

Department of State has been infested with spies forever!

Clintonians still infest FBI and CIA (and Justice!)

Another disappointment with Pres. Bush that he chose NOT to fire these people.

If Republicans win in '08, the first thing that needs to happen is to "call the Orkin Man" and clean out all the vermin entrenched at every level.

[MPJackal]

McCarthy was right!

[Capt_Hank]

This kind of mess confuses me to no end. When I was in the Army, (Signal Corp 1965-67), I didn’t report that I had a speeding in ticket on the security clearance form. Guess what....? They let me know about it. Plus, neighbors were interviewed, the whole nine yards. Took an extra month for me to get a Top Secret Clearance.

My oh my.... How things have changed.

[Squantos]

And this is just the ones that admit they are bogus........gheeeesh we are soooo deep in doo doo !

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Why is this not a surprise? The government doesn’t have the courage to expel all who should be expelled. The FBI is no longer worth anything.

Did you see this one:

Ex-nuke plant engineer accused of taking software to Iran

PHOENIX - A former engineer at the nation’s largest nuclear power plant has been charged with taking computer access codes and software to Iran and using it to download details of plant control rooms and reactors, authorities said.

The FBI said there’s no indication the plant employee had any terrorist connections.

Mohammad Alavi, who worked at the triple-reactor Palo Verde power plant west of Phoenix, was arrested April 9 at Los Angeles International Airport when he arrived on a flight from Iran, authorities said. (snip)

**** UPDATE: Muslim FBI Agent Spy for Hezbollah is Sis-in-Law of Hezbollah's $20 Million Financier; FBI Allowed Her to Remain on Job for FOUR! Years ****; Shocker: Hezbollah Said They'd Infiltrate the FBI & They Did; When a Spy is "Not a Spy";

 

By Debbie Schlussel

**** UPDATE: I was right, yet again. I've read Muslim FBI Agent/Hezbollah spy Nada Nadim Prouty's plea agreement (read it here). And guess what? Surprise!--She's the sister-in-law of Hezbollah's $20 million dollar financier Talal Khalil Chahine (owner of "La Shish" restaurants which remain open!), whom U.S. Attorney Stephen Murphy allowed to flee the country. Prouty is the SISTER of Chahine's wife, Elfat El-Aouar. Yup, LUUUV those great FBI Background Checks of agents.

And get this: The FBI and U.S. Attorney Stephen Murphy (and before him, U.S. Attorneys Craig Morford and Jeffrey Collins) knew Prouty was a spy for Hezbollah back in 2003, but they allowed her to work for the FBI for over FOUR Years! They did not remove her from the job until the end of this past September--1.5 years after her brother-in-law was indicted for financing Hezbollah!!!!!!

And I was right on another thing. She will do no or almost no jail time. Read the plea agreement, linked above. As reader Tim points out:

Nada Nadim Prouty is facing less than 12 months of jail time, or no jailtime at all, and three years of supervised probation and a fine totaling $2,225 under the plea agreement.

For infiltrating the FBI and CIA and spying for Hezbollah.

 

****

I'm not sure why everyone is so surprised with today's prosecution of Nada Nadim Prouty, an American Arab FBI agent and CIA analyst, for spying for Hezbollah and passing information on to the terrorist group. Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda, and other Islamic terrorist groups have long said they'd infiltrate the FBI and other American law enforcement organizations and they did.

That's no surprise. In fact, what is surprising is that this woman is among the first they've caught. She's a drop in the bucket. As long as we continue to hire Muslims to be translators and analysts, as long as we continue to give money to Arabic and Muslim schools to teach their kids Arabic instead of non-Muslim, non-Arab Americans, as long as the FBI (and ICE) continues to turn down Sephardic Jews and Maronite Lebanese Christians who speak Arabic and who've applied for jobs in favor of extremist Muslims, that's the result we will get. Spies, spies, and more spies.

As my late Dad used to say, "Cast thy s*it upon the waters." That's what they did, even after 9/11 and even today. And that's why they--and sadly, we--reap it back tenfold and more.

And this will continue until we change and until the FBI and the White House and the President and everyone else of authority in between continues to kowtow to the Barbarians inside our gate. Oh, and kudos to the FBI for, once again, doing another bang-up job in background checks. Do you think a non-Muslim, non-Arab would get such a lax once-over? Think again.

And we trust these Famous But Incompetents to protect us against terrorists? Heck, read the article. She was spying, and they still can't admit she was spying. Good Luck, America:

A 37-year-old woman who previously worked as an FBI agent and a CIA analyst, pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges involving her disclosure of information to people outside the government, CBS News has learned.

Sources say Nada Nadim Prouty, a Lebanese national and resident of
Virginia, entered the United States on a student visa and earned
citizenship through a sham marriage.

While officials say there is no evidence of actual espionage and no
evidence that she was working as a spy, she is accused of passing
information to sympathizers of Hezbollah, a group the U.S. has labeled a terrorist organization.

Sources say she came under suspicion after performing a number of
computer searches unrelated to cases she had been assigned to.

According to a Justice Department press release [DS: which is filled with self-congratulations by agents and DoJ officials who allowed her to remain on the job for FOUR years after they knew she was a spy], Prouty pleaded guilty
in the Eastern District of Michigan to charges of fraudulently obtaining U.S. citizenship, which she later used to gain employment at the FBI and CIA; accessing a federal computer system to unlawfully query information about her relatives and the terrorist organization Hezbollah; and conspiracy to defraud the United States.

 

Oh, and by the way, a later draft of the same CBS report says this:

She used her access as an FBI agent to look up information about herself and her relatives, some of whom may have ties to Hezbollah. She also is accused of improperly taking classified information home with her.

Nice she works for the FBI, AND she and her family work for Hezbollah. Like I said, hurray for those awesome FBI background checks of agents. Alhamdillullah [Praise Allah]!

Let's see what kind of sentence she gets. Don't hold your breath for them to throw the book at this poor Hezbollah-loving traitor. I predict a lot of lenience and a relatively paltry sentence for her.

The fact that she's being "prosecuted" in the Eastern District of Michigan, the domain of Hezbollah-sympathizing U.S. Attorney Stephen Murphy III a/k/a Abu Porno, means that they probably knew for several years that she was spying for Hezbollah and waited until she got all the goods before they moved on her. That's Murphy's standard M.O. for his Hezbo buds.

And please explain this part to me:

While officials say there is no evidence of actual espionage and no evidence that she was working as a spy, she is accused of passing information to sympathizers of Hezbollah, a group the U.S. has labeled a terrorist organization.

Um, call me stupid, but if "passing information to sympathizers of Hezbollah" is not "evidence of actual espionage" or "evidence that she was working as a spy," then what the hell is? That quote above is one of the dumbest yet I've read coming out of the incompetent "Justice" Department.

That's what we thought would happen in 2000. Same story, different day.

[MplsSteve]

You’re absolutely right.

The first thing Democrats due in a new administration )whether it be state or federal) is clean house. They fire every GOP’er - save for one or two they keep around to show how “bi-partisan” they are.

If we are lucky enough to have another GOP President in ‘08, they definitely have to get to work and start weeding out the Democrat appointees.

In particular, that includes the State Department and CIA!

Rudy was on BOR this morning. He said, “I would expand legal immigration”.

Which proves he has no clue, or doesn’t care how screwed up our ‘legal’ immigration system is. This woman is probably one of the 30,000 files USCIS lost and just issued visas without any vetting.

>Um, call me stupid, but if "passing information to sympathizers of Hezbollah" is not "evidence of actual espionage" or "evidence that she was working as a spy," then what the hell is?

Just imagine if
an FBI agent passed
some information

to a militia
or anti-abortion group.
Bureaucrats would freak!

“Somebody is about to become a left wing hero.”

She’ll have to get in line behind Ana Montes.
I haven’t read the book (below), but did see the BookTV (C-Span2; weekends)
by the author, who was (is?) the senior security and counterintelligence
investigator for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).
Montes was so good, even the author (Carmichael)
didn’t believe she could be a mole for the Cubans when
someone first came to him with suspicions.

Fortunately, she was taken into custody a few days after 9-11-01...
just as she was about to get a promotion that would have put her in
the upper level of folks knowing plans to “deal out justice” after 9-11.

IIRC, she didn’t take a red cent or any sort of reward from the Cubans
for her work; seems she thought she was “leveling the playing field”
for “the little guy” (Cuba/Castro).

Will someone wake them up at the FBI. No terrorist connections? Nahhhh, only that Iran is a terrorist state, supports terrorists, exports terrorism, is working feverishly to make their own nukes to wipe Israel and the US(the great satan) off the face of the earth, and the FBI says he has no "terrorist connections".

Someone should slap the FBI into some congnizance.
