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."

But... but... what if he's trans-CIA? What if he self-identifies as a CIA operative?

The best Operator is the guy who has never revealed his identity, never appeared on TV, never wrote a tell all book, never wrote a “fictional” account, never wore anything on their lapel, and everyone in the neighborhood thinks that he is a retire small engine repairman. Those guys can fit into a phone booth.

I always wondered what happened to Mansoor. I asked several times at FR, but nobody seemed to know.
Wow. I thought Simmons was on the level.
As for Jerry Rivers, I don’t believe a thing he says.

As always, should you or any of your IM force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. Good luck, Jim (Wayne).

I watch a lot of Fox prime time and I don’t remember ever seeing him. Google Images shows him only on the day time shows.
