A federal complaint was unsealed today charging Candace Marie Claiborne, 60, of Washington, D.C., and an employee of the U.S. Department of State, with obstructing an official proceeding and making false statements to the FBI, both felony offenses, for allegedly concealing numerous contacts that she had over a period of years with foreign intelligence agents.
The charges were announced by Acting Assistant Attorney General Mary B. McCord for National Security, U.S. Attorney Channing D. Phillips of the District of Columbia and Assistant Director in Charge Andrew W. Vale of the FBI’s Washington Field Office.
“Candace Marie Claiborne is a U.S. State Department employee who possesses a Top Secret security clearance and allegedly failed to report her contacts with Chinese foreign intelligence agents who provided her with thousands of dollars of gifts and benefits,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General McCord. “Claiborne used her position and her access to sensitive diplomatic data for personal profit. Pursuing those who imperil our national security for personal gain will remain a key priority of the National Security Division.”
“Candace Claiborne is charged with obstructing an official proceeding and making false statements in connection with her alleged concealment and failure to report her improper connections to foreign contacts along with the tens of thousands of dollars in gifts and benefits they provided,” said U.S. Attorney Phillips. “As a State Department employee with a Top Secret clearance, she received training and briefing about the need for caution and transparency. This case demonstrates that U.S. government employees will be held accountable for failing to honor the trust placed in them when they take on such sensitive assignments”

But what I find more disturbing is the complete lack of coverage in MSM. I know what your saying, what's new....But this is, really is, treason. I can't find a successful treason charge in the last 60 years. So I would think that this charge, actual charge, would get more attention than unsubstantiated Russian BS!
Makes one wonder how many more there are.
If Sessions would clean out the Justice Department he would find most anything that goes through there is controlled and sold probably by a Democrat Operative.
She requires punishment, sure, but you have to understand:
She is a follower and she was FOLLOWING.
She was in a position to hear DAILY about how much stuff was flying out the door, stuff done by THE TOP BRASS.
I’m sure EVERYONE was talking about it.
She also works where the huge HILLARY COVER-UP was done, where they called in everyone guilty and “reliable” to sort out what innocent stuff they’d show the investigators, versus all the bad, incriminating sh*t that they’d deep-six.
HOW LONG CAN WE EXPECT PEOPLE TO NOT FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE OF THEIR BOSSES..??
Hillary had her own freaking POP-UP CIA, fer crying out loud.
Punish her, sure, but to punish her without jailing HILLARY...?
PFFFFTT...!!!
This is just like the Navy swabee we sent up the river for eternity for him doing 1% of the stuff that others did.
ONE SET OF DRACONIAN LAWS FOR CITIZENS, ANOTHER SYMBOLIC SET FOR “LEADERS”.
Oh so they will actually charge someone for selling secrets to China?
Well, how about that.
So what you are saying is that the MSM are now the back-benchers.
And no telling how many muslim-terrorists and sympathizers are still infecting us.
She was charged with a criminal complaint, not indicted. Is she cooperating with the prosecutors?? The filing come out of the US Attorney, DC, not from the public integrity unit in DOJ. Something is up here.
ie Anita Dunn - Mao Tse Tung Fan Club
What’s new here? Everyone knows the story.
There have been a lot less leaks since AG Sessions has taken control. I would assume he has other traitors in his sights.
looks like something I shouldn’t open
This is the tip of the iceberg, finally discovered. And does the final responsibility rest with? One Mr. Barack Hussein Obama.
WHY is it not Mrs. Ben Ghazi???
Because the TEFLON is in possession of some 90+ FBI files collected by Craig Livingston and other stuff!!!
I agree that this is probably the tip of a huge iceberg.
In my humble opinion Zippo and Hillaroid where preparing for world power. They figured to have the election locked up. Look, if you want to dig deep enough, the amount of election fraud that got Zippo elected twice. Then they figured it was easy peasy to keep that going. I mean Hillarooid barely campaigned, she had no message, she was smug and arrogant because the fix was in.
Enter election fraud prevention and some heavy duty campaigning and we won. But now all the players and all the pieces were in place to continue the plan.
Now a change of plan was needed.
We need to get Trump out of office ASAP. I'll buy a house in DC to keep close and set up headquarters. We'll create anarchy in the streets, we'll find or create Russian collusion and then we'll have impeachment grounds.I predict some canary's will be sitting in cages singing away....
