I see a promotion in his future.

This is actually a deep state plot. He'll be released early for good behavior and inserted into Comet Ping Pong for activation upon Emperor Trump's coronation.

He will then lead the celebration parade with the heads of Hillary and Bill Clinton on spikes, with a naked John Podesta being dragged in tow by a chain, while Kimberly Guilfoyle chants "SHAME... SHAME... SHAME..."

I know this because I have seen the documents. Q got sloppy and left them in his Wendy's bag that he threw in the dumpster I had been diving into for weeks in my search for life sustaining tendies.

Hollywood depicts those CIA guys as super skilled humans and that dude did worst than Bill Cosby at sedating women.

This is what happens when people have monopoly on crime.

They think they are above the law.

They are above the law actually. It may come back to bite them, maybe, but more often then not they will live out the rest of their lives without facing consequences.

I mean isn't that what the CIA (and most undercover people) do?

They just do bad shit then go "Nah I was in character."

You watch too many movies, my friend.
Under cover people tend to be super outgoing and friendly people who get real chummy with other people who happen have access to valuable information.

I thought that was just standard operating procedure for any federal hog, "law" "enforcement" or espionage.

this one must either have a conscience or is being pressured to subject himself to the law somehow.

[–] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Probably the latter. Pigs don't have functional moral cores.

Once in a while one of them is punished just so the institutions can say, "look, we punish people who break the rules."

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Former CIA officer Brian Jeffrey Raymond pleaded guilty on Tuesday in federal court to drugging and sexually abusing multiple women during overseas postings, according to court documents and the Department of Justice.

Under the plea agreement, Raymond is looking at up to 30 years in prison and will have to pay mandatory restitution to his victims, according to the Justice Department.

The woman later said she could not remember what happened after consuming food and drinks provided by Raymond, according to the news release.

Nearly a year later, however, he withdrew his guilty plea, arguing that he was innocent of the charges and that agents had unlawfully searched his phone, according to court documents.

Following his withdrawal, prosecutors added two superseding indictments in early 2023 against Raymond, eventually charging him with 25 counts, including sexual abuse, aggravated sexual abuse and transporting obscene material of his alleged victims.

On Monday, Raymond signed a plea agreement to four counts, including sexual abuse and coercion and enticement, court records show.


The original article contains 319 words, the summary contains 165 words. Saved 48%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Willing to bet he drugged his victims with 100% pure cocaine.
