The prosecutor noted that while executing a search warrant at Serageldin’s house, federal agents found thousands of paper documents and electronic files belonging to Raytheon or the U.S. Department of Defense, and that many of them were marked as containing classified information. The Superseding Information lists five specific documents, all of which pertain to U.S. military programs involving missile defense and are classified at the SECRET level.
Look who they are giving secret-level security clearance to. It’s bloody madness. Defense deals with @raytheon and any defense contractor who compromises national security should be revisited.
Massachusetts Man Pleads Guilty to Illegally Retaining Classified National Defense Information Regarding U.S. Military Programs
A Sharon, Massachusetts, man pleaded guilty today to willfully retaining national defense information.
Story continues below advertisementDepartment of Justice, December 13, 2019 (thanks to Christian):
Ahmedelhadi Yassin Serageldin, 66, an Egyptian-born nationalized U.S. citizen, admitted to removing classified national defense information from his workplace at a defense contractor without authorization and keeping it unsecured within his home. Serageldin was originally indicted and arrested in November 2018 on one count of misleading conduct with intent to hinder, delay, or prevent communications to a law enforcement officer relating to the commission or possible commission of a federal offense.
The original indictment alleged that Serageldin was a systems engineer at Raytheon Company in Massachusetts from August 1997 until he was terminated in May 2017. Serageldin had a secret-level security clearance in order to complete his assignments on several defense contracts for the U.S. government involving military radar technology.
According to court documents, in 2017, Raytheon investigated Serageldin for time-card fraud. The time-card fraud investigation allegedly led Raytheon to uncover evidence that Serageldin had downloaded a substantial number of files from Raytheon’s computer network and had connected removable electronic storage devices to the network in violation of Raytheon’s security policy. During the company’s internal investigation, the indictment alleges, Serageldin engaged in misleading conduct to hinder, delay, or prevent Raytheon employees from communicating with law enforcement about his time-card fraud and his potential mishandling and retention of classified information and national defense information.
Today, Serageldin pleaded guilty before Chief United States District Judge Patti B. Saris to a Superseding Information charging him with having unauthorized possession of, access to, and control over numerous classified documents, writings, and notes relating to the national defense, and then willfully retaining the same and failing to deliver them to the United States. At the plea hearing, the prosecutor noted that while executing a search warrant at Serageldin’s house, federal agents found thousands of paper documents and electronic files belonging to Raytheon or the U.S. Department of Defense, and that many of them were marked as containing classified information. The Superseding Information lists five specific documents, all of which pertain to U.S. military programs involving missile defense and are classified at the SECRET level.
According to a plea agreement filed in the case, the original charge of obstruction of justice will be dismissed at the time of sentencing. Sentencing is scheduled for April 14, 2020.
The charge of willfully retaining documents relating to the national defense and failing to deliver them to the United States provides for a sentence of no greater than 10 years in prison, three years of supervised release, a fine of $250,000 or twice the gain or loss, whichever is greatest, restitution, and forfeiture. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
Assistant Attorney General John C. Demers, U.S. Attorney Andrew E. Lelling; Joseph Bonavolonta, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI, Boston Field Division; and Leo Lamont Special Agent in Charge of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, Northeast Field Office, made the announcement today. Assistance with the investigation was provided by Defense Criminal Investigative Service, Air Force Office of Special Investigations, and Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigations in Boston. Raytheon Company has cooperated with the investigation, which was launched after they notified federal authorities about the suspicious conduct. Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott L. Garland, Deputy Chief of Lelling’s National Security Unit, is prosecuting this case with the assistance of Trial Attorney Scott Claffee of the Justice Department’s Counterintelligence and Export Control Section of the National Security Division.

AGAIN, IT IS ISLAMO-REALISM AND NOT A PHOBIA TO FEAR THOSE WHO ARE IDEOLOGICALLY CONDITIONED TO HARM YOU LIKE ISLAMICS ARE! HE WAS FINALLY CAUGHT IN 2017! WHAT DO YOU THINK THE CHANCES WOULD BE THAT HE WOULD HAVE CONTINUED SUPPLYING JIHADIS WITH INFO TODAY IF HILLARY CLINTON WAS PRESIDENT OF THE USA? AFTER ALL, SHE WAS A PERFECT EXAMPLE TO HIM! WOW! HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL RIGHTISTS ESPECIALLY CHANUKAH!

Speaking of Hillary , WHAT IS SHE DOING TO HER FACE?
The Daily Mail thinks she looks “youthful”. She looks like a chipmunk with nuts in her mouth.
Hillary Clinton looked wonderfully youthful at an event on Broadway in New York last night – and an aesthetics expert claims it’s down to regular ‘tweakments’ and cosmetic procedures. The radiant former First Lady, 72, showed off a wrinkle-free complexion as she joined her husband Bill behind the scenes of Ain’t Too Proud: The Temptations Musical at The Imperial Theatre. Her glowing skin was noticeably smoother and her cheeks more defined than earlier in the week, when she spoke at the Jewish Labor Committee’s Annual Human Rights Awards Dinner in the city on Monday. According to aesthetic expert Dr Ross Perry, founder of http://www.cosmedics.co.uk, the politician’s youthful appearance is down to ‘regular tweakments and procedures’ over the years. Pictured left last night and right in October 2016 during her presidential campaign.

The FBI – I have one too.I know the process thats involved.It was’nt Raytheon or any one individual – The FBI after investigating him deemed he was’nt a threat.Raytheon paid for and initiated the request to grant that person a secret clearance .. But they did’nt issue it.

Isn’t it obvious that this is the risk the defense industry takes when it hires Muslims?
IMO it’s becoming very clear that a Constitution Amendment is badly needed with respect to constitutional protections for an obviously malevolent, warlike ideology opposed to our Constitutional freedoms. Our Constitution is not a suicide pact.

The issue is whether he passed the info in his possession on to those who would use it to harm this nation. Based on this article, he is being now charged with a more minor act. Though I agree that people of the Islamic belief system are often involved in loyalty first to their so-called belief system, which should preclude them from sensitive positions, these charges do not seem to fall into a treasonous conduct charge.

The guy has sinister motives, so it is certainly possible he did far worse than what authorities are able to prove.

I agree, the a-hole should get a bullet in the head but the consequences for treason today has become a slap-on-the-wrist. Not to mention the Betrayer’s Award handed-out by the Democrats and every wannabe Bolshevik.There is something wrong when a Muslim is privy to classified documents; it is called a death-wish.

A purging of muslums, muslum collaborators, muslum apologists from the ranks of the Fecal Bureau of Islamisation would be a good start, but I find that highly unlikely to ever happen.

When will the moronic ignorant libturds learn that the muslims are the enemy within?????!!!!!!! Kick them all out and make sure none of them are ever in any position of power or intelligence!!!!!
One thing is he was indicted and arrested in November 2018 on one count of “misleading conduct with intent to hinder, delay, or prevent communications to a law enforcement officer relating to the commission or possible commission of a federal offense.”
That is exactly what ALL of the FBI & DOJ involved with the Trump Campaign Spying did….and yet the libturd comey claims NO laws were broken and he was the lead LIAR in charge!!!!

Why did not Raytheon System Administrators turn off all USB ports to prevent the attachment of external devices? Raytheon should be charged as well for negligent handling of classified information.

We can be certain that the classified radar information has been transmitted to Egypt and Iran and could result in death to our servicemen. No moslem should be allowed in government or classified positions as their only alligience is to islam and due to their lifelong training in deceit and treachery their lies do not register on a polygraph test.

And who was one of Raytheon’s top bigwigs up until recently? Our own Secretery of Defense under President Trump, Mark T. Esper. Please, let’s have the “Intel committee” (joke of a name) investigate THIS instead of impeachment for a change. Something is not right here.

We are missing the real story here. He had in his possession thousands of pages of highly classified information. First question is why did he have them and to whom was he giving them? Someone or country is being shielded and we have the right to know.

In that the majority of military leaders and our political leaders do not have any real understanding of Islam, Islamism, jihad etc etc, it’s no wonder the authorities give security clearances to these people ! We are and have been at war with Islam for many decades without knowing it ! Ridiculous you say ? I suggest that you research Islam immediately. There are many experts in this subject who have been attempting to inform us for years but have generally been ignored. You will quickly learn that leaders in Islam produced a document years ago that detailed just how they would defeat us !

Seems like he is a foreign agent and should be hanged.
Which is very much different than what the FBI found, and lied about, concerning Carter Page.
