Russian Spy and former FBI agent Robert Hanson made a plea deal to get solitary for life instead of being executed. A few years ago I heard his brain has turned to mush from the conditions. I’m not sure he made the best deal.

Afterward, he faces a separate trial on child pornography charges.

I'm guessing this is the first thing the CIA plants on any computer they seize so they always go to prison.

In his 20s, Schulte, originally from Lubbock, Texas, worked as a coder at the CIA’s headquarters in Langley, Virginia, where digital sleuths design computer code to spy on foreign adversaries.

Twitter style disclaimer: This claim that the CIA only using the code to spy on foreigners is disputed.

If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.

ZERO sympathy for him from me.

> where he has been held for over two years <

I wonder what happened to the old “speedy trial” guarantee in the Constitution. Did this guy waive that right?

And THIS is why Snowden did it the way he did. Without this man we wouldn’t know the CIA collected tools and techniques to blame any computer hacks or cyber crimes on other innocent parties..... right before the told us they were SURE Russia had “hacked” DNC computers and assisted Trump.

This man gave us the Wikileaks Vault7 and the Umbrage program.

Say what you want, there is no legitimate reason for the CIA to have the ability to conduct digital crime and blame it on other non-involved nations. That’s the scum activity of a lowlife, not of a nation that wants worldwide respect.

The Justice Department has decided not to charge Julian Assange for his role in exposing some of the CIA’s most secret spying tools, according to a U.S. official and two other people familiar with the case. It’s a move that has surprised national security experts and some former officials, given prosecutors’ recent decision to aggressively go after the WikiLeaks founder on more controversial Espionage Act charges that some legal experts said would not hold up in court. The decision also means that Assange will not face punishment for publishing one of the CIA’s most potent arsenals of digital code used...
