A criminal complaint accuses Candace Marie Claiborne, who appeared before a judge Wednesday, of concealing her contacts with the intelligence agents and failing to report gifts she had received from them, including an iPhone, a laptop and international travel.

"As a State Department employee with a Top Secret clearance, she received training and briefing about the need for caution and transparency," U.S. Attorney Channing Phillips said in a statement. "This case demonstrates that U.S. government employees will be held accountable for failing to honor the trust placed in them when they take on such sensitive assignments."

That was the most pointless article ever posted. At no time did it's short, none informative rambling ever resemble a substantive piece of useful information. We are all now dumber having clicked it.

Considering it just broke ... what did you expect?

Any reasonable person would actually have gained knowledge from that short concise article.

There simply isn't much known about the case. Reuters and AP barely had more than a blurb about it.
I'd like to know if this was in any way connected to either Hillary or Trump.

A veteran State Department employee has been charged with making false statements to the FBI about gifts she had received from Chinese intelligence agents, the Justice Department said Wednesday.
A criminal complaint accuses Candace Marie Claiborne, who appeared before a judge Wednesday, of concealing her contacts with the intelligence agents and failing to report gifts she had received from them, including an iPhone, a laptop and international travel.
Claiborne, 60, was arrested Tuesday. Family members who were in court declined to comment on her behalf. Prosecutors say two intelligence agents provided Claiborne, who joined the State Department in 1999 and served in different overseas location, and her family with thousands of dollars in gifts and benefits over five years. The Justice Department alleges that she wrote in her journal that she could "generate 20k in 1 year" through her work with one of the intelligence agents.
Claiborne pleaded not guilty and faces a preliminary hearing April 18.
"As a State Department employee with a Top Secret clearance, she received training and briefing about the need for caution and transparency," U.S. Attorney Channing Phillips said in a statement. "This case demonstrates that U.S. government employees will be held accountable for failing to honor the trust placed in them when they take on such sensitive assignments."

But Hillary had no intent with her home server. Two sided faces of government.

Sorry I have big problems with FISA being used for criminal law enforcement purposes.
There should be an ocean sized distance between what can be used in a courtroom vs what can be used in keeping our country safe.

So a Clinton era hire?

And not arrested until Trump took over?

WHat was her intent though? Isn't this the catch all of any federal prosecution now? Hillary lied to the FBI and Congress

I hope she asks for the same treatment Clinton got.
