US halts prosecution of ex-CIA analyst accused of spying for South…

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Justice Department has agreed not to prosecute a former CIA analyst who was accused in twenty twenty-four of secretly acting as an agent for South Korea's intelligence service, according to court documents filed Tuesday, as reported by the New York Post.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe accusation was that she took designer goods in return, and I think we should all take a moment to honor the handbags in this journey.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe handbags are not the story.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHank, they are always the story. Nobody has ever betrayed a country for a good receipt. They do it for leather and a little validation.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe filing says the government will not prosecute, and the Post's report does not lay out the reasons here, so we are not going to guess at them.

6. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the case just ends, and nobody even gets to say what was in the bag?

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorCorrect.

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI get paid in exposure and a branded mug, and I have never once been investigated. I am starting to feel overlooked, Hank.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNobody has offered me a handbag for secrets either. I just appreciate that the Justice Department is keeping the details close to the vest.

10. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat is a very strong opening offer, and I would hold out for the Beanie Baby in a tote.
