Couple Indicted as alleged Cuban Spies

WASHINGTON (AP) - A retired State Department worker with top secret security clearance and his wife have been indicted on charges of spying for Cuba.

The indictment handed down by the attorney general’s office in Washington says Walter Kendall Myers and his wife, Gwendolyn Steingraber Myers, have been clandestine agents for Cuba for 30 years.

The indictment says the pair met with Cuban President Fidel Castro in Cuba in 1995, traveling through Mexico under false names. They allegedly made several other trips to Latin America and the Caribbean to meet with Cuban agents.

Kendall Myers worked at the State Department’s Foreign Service Institute, where he specialized in European matters, before retiring in 2007. The indictment says in his last year of employment, Kendall Myers viewed more than 200 intelligence reports related to Cuba.

Not that they deserve any excuse but:

“Finally, the affidavit alleges that Kendall Myers engaged in a scheme to defraud the State Department and the United States by means of false pretenses and caused the U.S. government to lose property, specifically money in the form of salary payments. By not disclosing his clandestine activity on behalf of the CuIS and by making false statements to the State Department about his status, Kendall Myers allegedly defrauded the State Department whenever he received his government salary. Gwendolyn Myers is also criminally liable for this alleged wire fraud scheme.”

sounds trumped up and weak to me.

They will be absolved if they just go to work with Jimmuh Smarter in a habitat project.

MUCH MUCH more detail here:

The affidavit further indicates that an analysis of Kendall Myers’ classified State Department work computer hard drive revealed that, from August 22, 2006, until his retirement on Oct. 31, 2007, he viewed more than 200 sensitive or classified intelligence reports concerning the subject of Cuba, while employed as an INR senior analyst for Europe. Of these reports concerning Cuba, the majority was classified and marked Secret or Top Secret, the affidavit alleges. An FBI review of Kendall Myers’ State Department security files further revealed numerous false statements by him to conceal the couple’s clandestine activities on behalf of the CuIS, the affidavit further alleges.

I wonder what this about:

South Dakota Supreme Court Reports - STATE v. STEINGRABER, 296 NW2d...
Pay-Per-View - South Dakota Supreme Court Reports - Loislaw - Oct 29, 1980
Gwendolyn STEINGRABER and Walter Kendal Myers, Defendants and Appellees. 13017. Supreme Court of South Dakota. Argued May 23, 1980. ... Related web pages

Maybe she was working for Daschle. If she was an aide for a long time during this period, and it’s a SD politician she worked for, it’s gotta be Daschle. They only have like one rep and two senators and Daschle was their Rep 30 years ago.
