Former CIA officer Dale Britt Bendler (right) pled guilty to acting as a foreign agent and mishandling classified information yesterday. Bendler is pictured here wearing a Breitling Superocean Heritage (shocked). On the left is former CIA paramilitary officer Felix Rodriguez, who allegedly “liberated” Che Guevara’s Rolex after his death. According to the DOJ, Bendler spent over 30 years working for the CIA as an intelligence officer and retired as a member of the SIS in 2014. Beginning in July 2017, while a full-time CIA contractor, Bendler worked with a U.S. lobbying firm and engaged in unauthorized and hidden lobbying and public relations activities on behalf of foreign national clients. As described in the plea agreement, Bendler’s undisclosed lobbying activities included an attempt to use his position and access at the CIA to influence a foreign government’s embezzlement investigation of one of Bendler’s foreign national clients and a separate attempt to use his position and access at the CIA to influence the U.S. government’s decision as to whether to grant a U.S. visa to another of Bendler’s clients. -W.O.E. #watchesofespionage #useyourtools
