Fox News Devastated As Analyst Wayne Simmons Arrested For Lying About CIA Service

It turns that there are some Fox News lies that can land that can land a person in prison. Wayne Simmons is facing up to 35 years in prison after he lied about working for the CIA for 27 years.

CNN reported:

Simmons is accused of falsely claiming that he worked as an “outside paramilitary special operations officer” for the CIA from 1973 to 2000. On Fox, this was often shortened to “former CIA operative.”

He was also indicted for using that false claim to gain government security clearances and an assignment as a defense contractor, where he advised senior military personnel overseas.

….

U.S. officials told CNN that there have been suspicions about Simmons’s resume and U.S. government agencies have received calls about claims he made on his website about his past work.

The Fox News/Simmons relationship goes back years. Simmons was a consistent and regular presence on the network’s coverage of terrorism.
