Former senior CIA officer David Rush has pleaded guilty to wire fraud, admitting he created a fake classified program to divert government money for his own benefit and disclosed information about a secret U.S. intelligence source to a foreign official. Investigators found nearly 300 gold bars and about $2 million in cash at his home. Prosecutors say the scheme included $145 million transferred for luxury South Florida properties and vehicles, plus $1.8 million for private charter flights. Rush faces up to 20 years in prison.

It’s like a reverse retirement. He enjoyed all these years living it up instead of “working” and now he’s gonna pay it off in prison.

Wouldn't have plead guilty if he wasn't going to get a sweetheart deal. Maybe shoot him for treason.

Aldrich Ames paid cash for a $540K house on a sub-$70K CIA salary and it took years for anyone to notice. Rush moved $145M into Florida homes, cars and watches and kept 298 gold bars at home. 30 years later and nobody's checking the driveway.

Selling out a secret U.S. intelligence source to a foreign official for luxury properties in Florida is pure treason, so quite frankly twenty years feels like a massive slap on the wrist for putting lives directly at risk just to fly private
