A Fox News guest terrorism analyst was arrested on Thursday after a grand jury indicted him on charges of falsely claiming to have been a CIA agent for decades, US prosecutors said.
Wayne Simmons, 62, of Annapolis, Maryland, bogusly portrayed himself as an Outside Paramilitary Special Operations Officer for the Central Intelligence Agency from 1973 to 2000, the US Attorneys Office for Virginias Eastern District said in a statement.
Simmons allegedly tried to use that claim to get government security clearances and work as a defense contractor. At one point he was deployed overseas as an intelligence adviser to senior military officers, the statement said.
He faces charges of major fraud against the United States, wire fraud and making false statements to the government.
He has appeared on Fox News, a unit of 21st Century Fox Inc , as a guest analyst on terrorism since 2002 and has a wide presence among conservative groups, a profile on Amazon.com said.

Wayne Simmons, as I recall, is one of the really good guys. Wow!
Just a thought here...
This is the CIA we’re talking about. Who’s to say if he worked there or not?
Get the CIA to deny the guy did even if he did, and you could ruin him.
Hey...don’t diss Chucky-Baby. He was just delusional!
“Fox News DOES though have a former CIA SAD/SOG POO (and before that DEVGRU operator) as an analyst.”
Who would that be? I haven’t watched in quite some time.
So, Ailes is in an uproar because Trump tweets that Kelley’s guests are dumb as it becomes public that they use fake analysts. I’m not surprised. The entire network is a fraud. I used to get pissed when the liberals would call it “faux” news. Damn, I hate it when they’re right.
Why hasn’t Hitlery been frog marched?
Is this like the poor schmuck who was arrested for the video that caused the Benghazzi riot?
hmm, apparently 18 US 912 then:

(though he does not seem to be charged with violating that...)
Exactly. And you bet your bottom dollar that the Wicked Witch of the West will mention time and time again that the Benghazi investigation is fraudulent and this proves it.

Let’s not forget the CIA works for Obama. Let’s not forget that until Obama came along you had never of a a “former CIA agent” giving an interview on TV. They kept their mouth shut and what they did was for national security and they didn’t retire and become “experts” on all things clandestine. Same thing as Navy Seals. If you watch Fox News you will see the vast majority of their “military experts” are retired generals and “former Navy Seals”. Before Obama came long a Seal would never get on TV and say a word about anything. That’s not part of their make-up. Now if you watch Fox News you’d think that the only people that have fought in the Middle East are Navy Seals. Let’s not forget that Obama got on national TV after the Bin Laden raid and informed the world that a Navy Seal team 6 has conducted the raid. A Top Secret raid and Obama informs Al Queda who responsible for it. How many Seal Team 6’s are there? A couple of months later a chopper goes down and kills about 20 Seals. All because someone had ran his mouth and compromised any future missions of this very elite part of the US Special Forces. But let me say if this guy is a real former CIA agent and Obama wants him shut up the agency would just say they had never heard of him.
There will NEVER be a GONG show as good as the original.
But he’s REALLY working for the CIC.
I have seen him on tv for years, remember him well and he seemed to be a good guy.
No doubt he will get more punishment than Hillary
I thought you were going to say you work for the cia.
[ Laughs ] that's an old bit, huh?
Really.
Oh, no. No, I'm not with the cia. I was...long time ago. I don't like to talk about it, really. And my airline.
First rule about working for the CIA is don’t talk about the CIA...
That was Perkins.
LOL!
my favourite, watch it every night at 7 PM
She looks great in that pic, but take a way the spray on tan, the gobbs of make up and she is at best average looking
