The Justice Department announced on Wednesday that it has charged a former U.S. Air Force counterintelligence specialist with spying for Iran and helping that country target her former American colleagues.
Monica Witt, 39, who was also a Defense Department contractor after leaving the U.S. government in 2008, sought to "undermine the U.S. and help the government of Iran," U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jessie Liu said on a call with reporters. Witt had been given high-level security clearances and had been deployed to the Middle East, prosecutors said.
Monica Witt is charged with revealing to the Iranian regime a highly classified intelligence program and the identity of a U.S. Intelligence Officer, all in violation of the law, her solemn oath to protect and defend our country, and the bounds of human decency, Assistant Attorney General John Demers said in a news release.
Witt attended an event in Iran in 2012, sponsored by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, called the New Horizon Organizations Hollywoodism conference, aimed at promoting anti-U.S. propaganda, prosecutors said. The U.S. says the IRGC is linked to terrorism.

Wasn’t this under John Brennan’s what He???
Wasn’t this under John Brennan’s watch???
diff is Hillary knows where the bodies are buried- Witt is just a cog
Tar.
Feathers...
Cute, could spy on Trump, lie to Congress, lie to the FISA Court, but couldn’t catch a spy down the street with Brennan’s CIA clowns.
Kind of has that AOC look to her. Is it a genotype?
Mental illness doesn’t make a person prettier.
Do traitors ever face the firing squad anymore?
She had a top secret clearance and access to compartmentalized projects.
As laid out in the indictment, Witt began drifting toward betrayal in February 2012 when she made a trip to Iran to participate in an anti-American propaganda event called Hollywoodism. Witt allegedly converted to Islam on Iranian television and made statements on video that were critical of the U.S. government, knowing these videos would be broadcast by Iranian media outlets, the indictment charges.
She was even warned by an FBI agent before her alleged 2013 defection that she was a target for recruitment by Iran.
The Iranian spying outreach occurred in the first half of 2015.
Federal prosecutors in Washington, D.C., allege that Witt disclosed a code-named intelligence program to Iranian government officials, one that contained details of ongoing counterintelligence operations, true names of sources, and the identities of U.S. agents involved in the recruitment of those sources.
And around late 2014, the indictment alleges, Witt worked with four Iranian cyber conspirators ordered to infiltrate the social networks and computer systems of Witts former intelligence colleagues.
Couple this with the USS Fitzgerald http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3726797/posts?page=46#46
If you go and dig through various reportings....she entered a masters degree program around 2010, at George Washington University in the DC area....for Mid-East Studies. I would make a guess that one of the professors in the program is a recruiter, and brought her along slowly to being pro-Iran.
George Washington would disown that University. But score one for the liberals: "Air force specialist served in Iraq and converted to Islam after attending conference in Iran on amorality of US culture."
It used to be that immigrants were overall converted by the culture to be patriotic, but since it has become much like a prostitute then Islam uses that to assert itself as righteous.
Witt converted to Islam in a televised ceremony in 2012 on her first trip to Tehran, at the same time as a more high-profile convert, Sean Stone, the son of US film director Oliver Stone.
Witt and Stone were attending the same conference in Tehran, titled Hollywoodism, addressing the amorality of US movie culture, which had drawn a collection of western mavericks and conspiracy theorists.
Years later she told a Bangladeshi news network that after attending the conference, I got a chance to think more about myself and the future.
These questions have drawn me to Islam: what is the main purpose of life and why we should live in the best way.
According to a US Treasury statement on Wednesday, the organisers of the conference were closely tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and such events were intended to provide fertile ground for recruiting spies.
...the FBI seems to have been surprisingly relaxed in its view of the sudden turn in her life.
Read the rest. Indeed it is an indictment of liberal lax security, in which a convert to radical Islam, still “supervised, controlled, and coordinated the execution of highly sensitive counterintelligence operations against foreign intelligence services worldwide. -
