Feds: Ex-CIA employee waged information war against US
By LARRY NEUMEISTER

NEW YORK (AP) An ex-CIA employee must be kept isolated in prison after claiming he was waging an information war against the United States, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Prosecutors made the comment in papers filed in Manhattan federal court in the criminal case against Joshua Adam Schulte.
They said Schulte was in the Metropolitan Correction Center where he is currently housed when he declared the information war against the United States, threatening to reveal all classified information he knew unless he was released.
Then, prosecutors said, he backed his pledge by smuggling contraband cellphones into the Manhattan lockup, creating encrypted email accounts and secret social media accounts and drafting misleading articles for public consumption that contained misinformation and classified information.

Claiming the CIA will have someone killed in prison is way out there. Crazy talk here on DU.
Please delete this.

If you think suggesting the CIA might do something nefarious is crazy talk then you clearly are not aware of the history of the CIA.
