WASHINGTON -- A regular guest commentator on Fox News who has been lying for years about working for the Central Intelligence Agency was arrested on Thursday and is being charged in connection with falsely claiming he worked as an “Outside Paramilitary Special Operations Officer” for the CIA for nearly three decades.

Wayne Simmons, a 62-year-old who lives in Annapolis, Maryland, was arrested by federal authorities following his indictment by a federal grand jury for allegedly committing major fraud, wire fraud, and making false statements to the government. Simmons claims to have worked for the CIA from 1973 to 2000, and "used that false claim in an attempt to obtain government security clearances and work as a defense contractor, including at one point successfully getting deployed overseas as an intelligence advisor to senior military personnel," according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia.

In court documents, federal prosecutors alleged that Simmons had a "significant criminal history, including convictions for a crime of violence and firearms offenses, and is believed to have had an ongoing association with firearms notwithstanding those felony convictions." They successfully petitioned a judge to keep Simmons' indictment sealed until his arrest today, noting that Simmons "has a history of acting in an aggressive manner, and is likely aware of the imminent nature of the charges in this case." https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/wayne-simmons-arrest-cia_561fd787e4b028dd7ea6fd43?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000592

This story has been updated to note that Fox News said Simmons was not a paid commentator. [Just an imposter, perhaps?]

Wayne joined the U.S. Navy in 1973 where he was recruited by the Central Intelligence Agency to became part of an Outside Paramilitary Special Operations Group. He spearheaded Deep Cover Intel Ops against some of the world's most dangerous Drug Cartels and arms smugglers from Central and South America and the Middle East . Simmons has been a Terrorism Analyst for the Fox News Channel since 2002. In 2004, under the direction of Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, he became a part of the Pentagon Outreach Program for Military and Intelligence Analysts. Simmons was one of the first outside Intelligence officers to visit GITMO (Guantanamo Bay , Cuba ) in July, 2005 and again in July, 2006 and March, 2008. In July, 2006 Simmons was given the distinguished honor to serve as a consultant to the Bush White House to assist in the construction of the Military Commissions Act of 2006 which was signed into law by President Bush in October 2006. In 2008 Simmons came out of retirement and trained as Team Leader of the HTT, Human Terrain Team’s, that were scheduled to deploy in Afghanistan. In 2010 Simmons served as the S-2, for the Counter Insurgency Advisory and Assistance Team, CAAT, at ISAF HQ, Kabul, Afghanistan. In 2014 Wayne had the honor of becoming a member of the Citizens Commission on Benghazi a position he still holds.

Looks like this is a good news story. Wayne should report on himself while in prison,
"Hello, Wayne Simmons, Fox News! So far prison has been great! I found the biggest guy I could find, covered in swastika tattoos and beat the s*** out of him and did the unspeakable. Now I'm the head of my own gang"


"Yep, I'm king now! b****es!"


Or something like that, How I picture it.

As William O Douglas. Supreme Court Justice, would say, it is "literary license."

Douglas should know because he became the master of it.

When William O Douglas lied about himself, he called it "literary license."

When Walter Duranty lied about the Soviet Union, he won a Pulitzer Surprise. "Walter Duranty played a key role in perpetrating some of the greatest lies history has ever known." When millions of Ukrainians were starving, Duranty insisted they were only hungry.
