#3 Army, CIA an State Dept; probably 40 year combined career; fluent in Mandarin: what could have possibly turned this guy into such a traitor, an IDIOTIC traitor at that?

#6 Army, CIA an State Dept; probably 40 year combined career; fluent in Mandarin: what could have possibly turned this guy into such a traitor, an IDIOTIC traitor at that?

My guess is his resume is a bit padded or overlapped in some areas. Appears he was a reservist and Department of State (DoS) Diplomatic Security (DIPSEC) employee. Too many reserve deployments could have resulted in difficulties at DoS. The CIA piece could have been linguist reserve assignments.

Diplomatic Security officers can be assigned some pretty remote and harsh locations. He might have become disenchanted with DoS, or they with him. This could have led to his disconnecting from DoS and starting his own contracting effort.

Once again, only a guess.

#7 Also, factor in potential financial, substance-abuse, or relationship issues.

#8 Could have been money, debt. That nice 6 bedroom colonial in Leesburg last sold a few years ago for nearly $800.000. I'm assuming it was his purchase. Gov't contracting has declined considerably in the past few years.

Just another guess.
