Nothing in the plea agreement that I saw said anything about surrendering her goverent pension.

I understand the value to the government to getting to the bottom of the spying my be worth more than putting her on the end of a rope, but I’d hope there is something stutorially that prevents a person convicted of a federal crime this significant, while in federal service and in a position of significant national trust, to prevent them from receiving a pension benefit.

It’s not that significant. She fed them low grade crap - non-defense non-intel-related stuff. The Rosenbergs gave the Russians blueprints for the A-bomb. Now that was worth firing up Old Sparky several times over.

I am impressed that they caught her, though. I was starting to get the impression that our counter-intel efforts consist of spying on GOP presidential candidates.

From the article:

[The statement did not say how the FBI first learned of Claiborne’s spying activities.

However, the FBI confirmed the activities using an undercover agent who posed as an MSS officer in January 2017. She was arrested two months later.]
