United States v. Rush
(Fmr SES/CIA agent who lied on apps; stole millions in cash, $40mil in gold bars)
At a partially closed and sealed detention hearing on June 5, Rush was DENIED bond and detained pending trial.
DOJ has until August 3, 2026 to indict.
Expect more charges.
Key questions:
Was he working for himself? Is he an extraordinary conartist who decided to cash in at the CIA like it was a casino?
Or was he working for someone else? Such as a foreign adversary.
If the former, and I hope it is, then wow. He's an S-tier con man.
If the latter, then uh oh—BIG UH OH.
Who was he working for, for how long, and what value was he providing to them?
