🚨BREAKING: #DavidRush, a #CIA #officer, allegedly created an entirely #fabricated “#specialaccess program” — the #highest level of #secrecy in U.S. #intelligence — to siphon #millions from the #government. Posing it as critical “continuity of government” #doomsday #planning, he reportedly convinced a #defensecontractor to purchase #massive amounts of #gold, read in unwitting colleagues, and funneled the proceeds to himself. #FBIagents #raided his home and #seized: 303 gold bars worth roughly $40 million $2 million in cash 35 luxury watches #Investigators say Rush #lied about his #collegedegrees and even #faked being a #Navypilot, yet still passed the #CIA’s #rigorous #vetting process. A #judge ordered him held as a #flightrisk, and the scandal has already placed several #CIAofficials on leave as the probe expands. This is a stunning #failure of oversight inside #America’s most #secretive agency.
