Simmons is accused of falsely claiming that he worked as an "outside paramilitary special operations officer" for the CIA from 1973 to 2000. On Fox, this was often shortened to "former CIA operative." He was also indicted for using that false claim to gain government security clearances and an assignment as a defense contractor, where he advised senior military personnel overseas...If convicted, he could face up to 35 years in prison...Fox's web site lists dozens of appearances and quotes, usually labeling him a former CIA "operative," "analyst" or "officer."...The U.S. Attorney's Office said that along with the CIA-related fraud, "the indictment also alleges that Simmons defrauded an individual victim out of approximately $125,000 in connection with a bogus real estate investment."

He also falsely equated Russia with the U.S.A. in his rants about the War on Terror. How many more "analysts" will they scrape up? Stay tuned!

They also kept Mansoor Ijaz around long after it became clear he was simply making his reports up.

And don't even get me started about Geraldo Rivera.

Accusations coming from Obama’s DOJ bear scrutiny for motive, going against a Fox News analysis.

This guy would seem to merit extra attention in the punishment phase, including videotape of his conviction and sentencing spread all over the Net and MSM.

“Evan Perez and Wesley Bruer contributed reporting from Washington.”

These news channels seem so gullible, yet they claim they are the only ones who have the responsibility to vet political candidates.

Or was it “quidam”?

[gaijin]

I remember him, too..!

Oh, man, THAT guy...!!

Good times...! (or bad?)

[100American]

Plausible denial, un named sorces, prefer to speak off the record...

These have become coin of the Realm, all innuendo and suspicion keeping the status quo safer for The Children...

You know, everyone BUT them...

Which one of the Fox “experts” always wears a miniature SEAL trident on his lapel?

He is also supposed to be a former FBI agent, (although he doesn’t wear his old FBI badge on his coat.)

In the frog community, this is known as “selling your trident” and it’s considered very sleazy.

LOL “Deep in the Hurtgen Forest.”

From the FR wayback machine.....

If you remember that one....you are an old freeper.

[surrey]

Do tell....

[SunTzuWu]

[RoosterRedux]

Not just RICO...RICO Sauve.

“outside paramilitary special operations officer”

OPSOO

Has to be an inside joke.

[airborne]

"He was also indicted for using that false claim to gain government security clearances and an assignment as a defense contractor..."

So he falsely claimed to be a "former CIA analyst" and got government security clearance?

If so, who in the government gave him clearance without doing a background check?

Or......Eschoir?
