“Simmons allegedly tried to use that claim to get government security clearances and work as a defense contractor. “
How the HECK did that guy think is charade would not go unnoticed when they conduct a standard BI. . .idiot.

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. 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.
Combined General and Maryland "Freak State" DANG!

Media Matters and other lefties rags are having a field day with this. My only concern is that they are making it sound like the Benghazi situation was all made up by Fox News and it may get Hillary and Huma off the hook. I bet the left had this info for some time but let it slip now to cast doubt as to what really happened.

Weird guy.
STUPID to go on TV under false pretenses, particularly with claims of CIA employment...LOL.
That agency doesn't take impostors lightly.
Good Morning Onyx, hope all is well with you?
I agree, the CIA doesn't take kindly to imposters, and although I'm certainly not making excuses for that mutt, I'm wondering if it might be a case of Simmons becoming delusional and believing his own pack of lies, and thinking he could go on TV and propagate those lies to the world and never be challenged.
We've certainly seen that kind of behavior out of Emperor Barky since January 2009.

‘I didnt know that was a crime. I mean, Obama claims to be an American and a Christian after all. Maybe the guy identifies as CIA? Arent we supposed to respect wishful fantasies of identity?” It works if your a leftest, not if you are conservative.

Excellent response!
Claiming to have been sent to Niger by Dick Cheney when in fact you were not and were instead sent by your 2nd wife, whose claim to fame was being a super-duper deep cover operative while being on maternity leave from a desk job at the CIA, meanwhile, appears to be legal.

Don’t recall ever seeing this guy, not memorable I guess. Haven’t watched much cable news in recent years but did in 2002.
Humiliating for Fox, humiliating.
Not good for us either as the guy was solidly anti-democrat in his opinions.

Nonsense. Retired CIA personnel were on TV and writing books long before you ever heard of Obama.

“Nonsense. Retired CIA personnel were on TV and writing books long before you ever heard of Obama.”
Absolutely not to the extend they are now. And before Obama Navy Seals were damn sure not on every talk show on TV. What they did was clandestine and it stayed clandestine.
