An Open Letter

To: Rep. Harris, Sen. Alsobrooks, Sen. Van Hollen

From: A constituent in Forest Hill, MD

October 7

How is this guy (see below) any different than Trump? Trump stole taxpayer money for Government Propaganda Ads with no consequences. He violates the Hatch act and other laws daily. I’m not saying the CIA officer shouldn’t be tried. I’m saying why isn’t Trump being kicked out of the Presidency and tried for his crimes?!! A former high-ranking CIA officer caught with nearly 300 gold bars in his home admitted he exposed details about a secret US intelligence source to a foreign official. David Rush, 49, pleaded guilty to wire fraud and admitted to siphoning off $194 million in government funds, including by inventing a fake classified program to funnel $145 million toward luxury Florida real estate. Prosecutors say his disclosure about the clandestine source could “endanger the safety and life” of that person and the US officers working with them. Investigators seized about $2 million in cash and 35 luxury watches along with the gold, and say Rush fooled the agency for years with a fabricated education and military record. He faces up to 20 years in prison when he’s sentenced in January, and the case has put a spotlight on his work with Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg, who has been interviewed by the FBI but is not accused of wrongdoing.
