WASHINGTON (AP) — A former CIA employee and senior official at the National Security Council has been charged with serving as a secret agent for South Korea's intelligence service, the Justice Department said.
Sue Mi Terry accepted luxury goods, including fancy handbags, and expensive dinners at sushi restaurants in exchange for advocating South Korean government positions during media appearances, sharing nonpublic information with intelligence officers and facilitating meetings between U.S. and South Korean government officials, according to an indictment filed in federal court in Manhattan.
She also admitted to the FBI that she served as a source of information for South Korean intelligence, including by passing handwritten notes from an off-the-record June 2022 meeting that she participated in with Secretary of State Antony Blinken about South Korean policy, the indictment says.
Prosecutors say South Korean intelligence officers also covertly paid her more than $37,000 for a public policy program that Terry controlled that was focused on Korean affairs.

Prosecutors say Terry never registered with the Justice Department as a foreign agent. On disclosure forms filed with the House of Representatives, where she testified at least three times between 2016 and 2022, she said that she was not an “active registrant” but also never disclosed her covert work with South Korea, preventing Congress from having “the opportunity to fairly evaluate Terry's testimony in light of her longstanding efforts” for the government.

Look who I ran into tailgating at the Super Bowl. Can't wait for the game to start. Go Niners!
Given the number who provide secret information to the press I'm inclined to think there must be quite a lot.

Secret Agent Man
Swinging on the Riviera one day
And then laying in a Bombay alley next day
Oh no, you let the wrong word slip
While kissing persuasive lips
The odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow

They’ve given you a number, and taken away your name.
I know it’s not a man but the song seemed to fit.

At least it is to the right Korea, and not the one that wants to nuke us. But then, the Biden admin wouldn’t press charges if she spied for the Norks.
Eeew
I wonder if Terry ever sued her.
Are you sure?
Always surprises me by how cheaply these people sell out.
If you’re intelligent there are many, many ways to make a whole lot of money.
Ha.
Now I am in a quagmire of pronoun appropriateness accusations that will make the Spanish Inquisition look like a day at the beach.

Backward it reads tiramisu.
tiramisu, I saw some of that at Costco.
I can’t believe how cheap they sell their souls!
I believe she hangs out in conservative circles. This indictment might be politically motivated. Let’s see.
