Defense Department Linguist Pleads Guilty to Transmitting Highly Sensitive Classified National Defense Information to Aid a Foreign Government
DOJ Public Affairs ^

Posted on 03/28/2021 6:10:50 AM PDT by ameribbean expat

A Minnesota woman pleaded guilty today to one count of delivering national defense information to aid a foreign government.

According to court documents, Mariam Taha Thompson, 63, formerly of Rochester, Minnesota, worked as a contract linguist at an overseas U.S. military facility where she was entrusted with a top secret government security clearance.

*****

In December 2019, while Thompson was assigned to a special operations task force facility in Iraq, the United States launched a series of airstrikes in Iraq targeting Kata’ib Hizballah, an Iranian-backed foreign terrorist organization. These airstrikes culminated in a Jan. 3, 2020, strike that resulted in the death of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force commander Qasem Suleimani, as well as the founder of Kata’ib Hizballah, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.

Following Suleimani’s death, the unindicted co-conspirator started asking Thompson to provide “them” with information about the human assets who had helped the United States to target Suleimani. Thompson admitted that she understood “them” to be Lebanese Hizballah, including an unnamed high-ranking military commander.

She didn't like the Suleiman kill so she started handing over names to Hizbollah.

In any other time and place that would be treason and a death sentence.

Now they’ll give her a medal of honor

But yet the DOJ allowed BLM terrorists to loot, burn and kill for over none months....

“It’s astounding that an American working for the U.S. military overseas would abandon her country in favor of terrorists,”

.........Biden will let her out on a PR Bond and she likely will be sentenced to time served. If she goes to jail at all it will be because she said hello to a Republican 20 years ago. Then Pelosi will hire her as a staff assistant with a Top Secret clearance.

It's okay. She's the poster child of the new, woke military. Besides, the names she gave were probably Christian white supremecists who didn't support higher taxes. They deserve to die anyway according to the new Diversity Officers.

She will get a medal.

You can’t charge someone with treason when there is no “enemy” under the law.

The U.S. government basically made treason vanish as a crime because engaging in these stupid imperialist military campaigns with no formal declarations of war by Congress.

> she started handing over names to Hizbolla <

If it can be shown that even one of those people were killed, Thompson should also be charged with murder (accessory before the fact).

Good point. And as a further example, consider Syria. Different parts of our government appear to be backing different sides there. So who is our “enemy” there? Everybody? Nobody?

My guess when reading the title was that the perp would be Chinese, not a bad guess considering how many CCP spies have infiltrated this country, and how many Americans have sold out to them.

That makes me a racist, of course.

This article does not tell the whole story>>>>>>>>>

And most of the info about her on the web has been wiped.

here is a Muslim site that tells the rest and gives a photo below:

Link to Unshared Site:

www.https://celebpie.com/mariam-taha-thompson-picture/

As an old railway engineer of mine would say, : "She must have had low self steam."

The web has surprisingly little on her though, this bizarre apparently unsharable ( copy paste block)Muslim web site from India or Pakistan:

On that site they say that Thompson never physically met her Lebanese Hezbollah spy, apparently she fell in love with him over the internet, a victim of a Hezbolla web romance honey trap.

( SARC)" Hi, my name is Ahmed Subak. I love your profile picture long time. Let's meet in the virtual coffee room "

He promised the then 61 year old Thompson marriage.

Apparently she did a lot of damage.

I wonder what her sentence will be? I bet it will be Obama lite.

But this also illustrates how slack the security checks are for Muslim sub contractors from Minnesota. I wonder if she voted for Omar..

Anybody remember when the Blind Sheik had a translator passing on messages from prison?
Maybe they didn’t learn from that.

ameribbean expat :" She didn't like the Suleiman kill so she started handing over names to Hizbollah."

She gave Hizbollah the name of 'assets' who gave up information on the Suleiman assassination.
A recommendation by Patraeus, indicates that she immersed herself in the local culture, ..more likely absorbed the culture.

I got several stories from my marine buddy. (He’s out now, but spent several deployments in Afghanistan.) In his opinion, the translators were not on our side. He spoke several languages, which he both studied and picked up on his own. He’d report mistranslations that caused problems and nothing was done about it. Probably, because he didn’t have the right code for language skills so they discounted him.

He is one of those rare people who can pick up a language in a short time. In my opinion, he is WAY smarter than me in every aspect. Oddly, I can’t convince him of this. I suspect his mother downplayed his smarts when he was young. We all have issues from our childhood.
