Title: We can TOTALLY trust the FBI's screening...
Post by: makattak on May 02, 2017, 01:48:27 PM
...when they can't even effectively screen their own employees:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4464244/FBI-married-ISIS-assigned-investigate.html

A woman was tasked with investigating a vicious ISIS murderer... and, apparently after watching his rap video where he beheads some people and juggles their heads like geese*, she thinks "THAT'S the kind of man I'm looking for! Not some wimp like my veteran U.S. Soldier husband!" So she lies to the FBI (HA! good job guys!) and skips the country to Turkey and jumps into Syria, marrying the psychopath.

SHOCKINGLY, she realizes after a month or so that this may not have been the greatest idea and somehow makes it back to the U.S.

She only served two years in prison, which, though insane, seems far less insane than the rest of this story.

(Only good thing out of this? The husband is PROBABLY going to get out of this marriage without it costing him a dime. If there are children, I'm certain he'll have full custody.)




*Hand to God. Baby geese—goslings. They were juggled! ... Note also: I may be extrapolating here.

I'm kinda speechless.

I seriously want to know what she said was her reasoning for this.

Has the FBI decided if they are going to terminate her employment yet?   =)

I find it mildly curious that the article never mentioned the 'B' word. (No, "Bigamy," not the other 'B' word.)

Nah, there are enough stupid military members, some would forgive her and take her back.

Hence the "probably."

Preferably with a Hellfire.

Apparently she is now working as a hostess in a restaurant, so maybe we can safely assume that she's no longer an FBI interpreter and that she no longer has a Top Secret security clearance.

"Maybe."

"Bitch?" "Butch?" "British?"

Women love bad boys.  Some apparently a lot more than others.

Ha.  I figured Makattack was talking about the ISIS psycho.

Yeah, just pay a visit to the enlisted barracks on a Saturday night to get your weekly dose of stupid.

No reasonable FBI director would fire her.

Maybe she's deep undercover like Valerie Plame was?

No, she rolled over on the guy and his buddies. Hence the deal for only two years and a felony conviction.
