If shes one of the worst they should have made her serve all 25 years of her sentence. Frigging idiots.
She should lose her citizenship, instead she will probably end up as a commentator on CNN
When she was working a clerical job at the Department of Justice, Cuban authorities identified her as someone who would be sympathetic to their cause.
Ana Montes, a Cuban penetration agent inside the Defense Intelligence Agency, drafted a 1998 intelligence analysis that played down the threat from Cuba....
The deepest and most damaging penetration of the U.S. Defense Department by an enemy agent in recent history was pulled off by a spy working for the terror-sponsoring, drug-smuggling Castro regime.
The spy’s name is Ana Belen Montes, known as “Castro’s Queen Jewel” in the intelligence community. In 2002 she was convicted of the same crimes as Ethel and Julius Rosenberg and today she serves a 25-year sentence in Federal prison. Only a plea bargain spared her from sizzling in the electric chair like the Rosenbergs.
Promptly upon Montes’ conviction a Cuban spy named Gustavo Machin, who worked under diplomatic cover in Washington D.C. (and thus enjoyed “diplomatic immunity”) along with 14 of his KGB-trained Cuban colleagues, were all booted from the U.S..... -—— https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3553697/posts
She seems like a perfect Dem candidate.
On what grounds was she released?! WHO gave the order for her release?
The article (and it’s sourced articles) are oddly quiet about that bit [Obama]
She was arrested on September 21, 2001, just 10 days after the 911 attacks on the US.
...Interestingly, just days after the 9-11 terror attack, Castro’s KGB-founded and mentored intelligence mounted a major deception operation attempting to trip-up our investigation into the terrorist culprits, not that most of you ever heard about it from the mainstream media. So here:
“In the six months after the 9/11 attacks,” ran the Miami Herald investigative report, “up to 20 Cubans walked into U.S. embassies around the world and offered information on terrorism threats. Eventually, all were deemed to be Cuban intelligence agents and collaborators, purveying fabricated information. Two Cuba experts said spies sent by Cuba to the United States were part of a permanent intelligence program to mislead, misinform and identify U.S. spies” (emphasis added).... -—— From another thread on FR
From another thread: ...The 0bama administration’s fetish to quickly and fully satisfy every whim of the Communist murderers of U.S. citizens reached Jerry Springer Show levels when—prior to his release— a specimen of Gerardo Hernandez semen was ferreted from his prison cell to Cuba. Hernandez and his wife, you see, were eager to add another Communist subject to the Castro-Family Kingdom but couldn’t quite figure out a workable procedure.
Fear not! Raul Castro rang his little bell and 0bama’s State Department. (Ben Rhodes in particular) quickly scurried over, smiling, bowing, eager to please...
Wonderful. A new girlfriend for Swillwall.
just did.
On Dec. 9, (2009) Obama nominated Mari Del Carmen Aponte to be ambassador to El Salvador, despite the fact that in the late 1990s, the FBI discovered that she was working with Cuban intelligence officers. According to Insight Magazine, “When the FBI eventually questioned her about her involvement with Cuban intelligence, she reportedly refused to cooperate.”
snip from another thread...
But Aponte’s past is one big red flag. From 1982 to 1994 Aponte lived with a man who worked closely with the Cuban Mission to the U.N. and allegedly was a spy.
Aponte claims her ties to the Cubans were just “social,” but Cuban spies working in the surveillance hotbed of New York don’t waste time on things “social.”
They trawl left-wing community groups for potential agents of influence, seeking ideological affinity and common interests. That’s how they recruited another Puerto Rican of similar background, Ana Montes, who was convicted of spying in 2002....
Swalwell sez “holla back, girl”!

HAVANA (AP) — The first member of a Cuban spy ring to walk free from prison in the United States thanked islanders Friday for their support during his 13 years behind bars and vowed to keep pushing for the release of the other four.
Rene Gonzalez, a 55-year-old dual U.S.-Cuban citizen who left a federal lockup in the Florida Panhandle on Oct. 7, spoke through a home video that was broadcast and rebroadcast on Cuban state television and government-run websites.
“It is truly difficult to address people who are so loved and who you feel a part of through a camera, but I had to communicate with you and say how grateful I am for everything,” Gonzalez said.

“Montes had no prior connection to Cuba; her parents were Puerto Rican, and her father was a U. S. Army officer,” Carmichael writes in True Believer. “She was born on a U. S. Army base in Germany and spent her high school years in Towson, Maryland—a home-grown agent if ever there was one.””
She is the one person I want to put a bullet in her skull for compromising what I was doing back in the day.
1. There is a 15% reduction in Federal sentence for good time...... seems she got out early. Oh and on January 6th....... no message sent with that release date. Would be interesting to see who championed her early release!
I’m always fascinated by the backstory of these spy cases. Interesting article.
