Ex-Bill Clinton Official Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison for Spying for Cuba

Blogger Comment: It is known now that Biden and his Administration are close to the CCP and whee China is close to Russia, so it came as no surprise that an 'Enemy of the State' was bedded within a Democrat US President's top team for several years and a White House confidant...how much more therefore does it take for the American people to realise the link between powerful enemy states and the collusion within  the Democrat Party with that enemy it has to be asked...indeed this is a far worse by far than the 'Russiagate' saga made up by senior Democrat politicians including Biden and Hilary Clinton, that has now been proved to be totally false and untrue, for where this Democrat treasonous endeavour, over many decades, has been found to be totally 'TRUE' through the US Courts and with the Chinese communist ally Cuba...and where the criminal was an inner confidant of a two-term  Democratic President...

An official from former President Bill Clinton’s administration has just been sentenced to 15 years in prison after being convicted of spying for Communist Cuba for decades.

Victor Manuel Rocha was a former U.S. ambassador to Bolivia appointed by Clinton.

He was sentenced to 15 years in prison after he was caught spying on behalf of Cuba for four decades.

Rocha pled guilty to charges that he worked for Cuba’s spy service for decades on Friday.

Prosecutors described Rocha’s case as the longest-running betrayal of the U.S. government in history.

Rocha allegedly spent 40 years spying for Cuba and planned to fight the charges when he denied his guilt in February, as Slay News reported.

However, it quickly became apparent that the case against him was too strong.

Rocha opted to take the easy way out by pleading guilty.

His guilty plea meant he received a sentence of 15 years in prison which seems extraordinarily lenient.

Prosecutors gave Rocha a plea deal for 15 years and U.S. District Judge Beth Bloom took issue with that in the hearing on Friday.

Since Rocha’s citizenship was left intact and no recourse for possible victims was discussed, some expected Judge Bloom to reject the plea deal on the grounds that it was too lenient.

However, prosecutors defended their plea deal stating that since Rocha is 73, there is a strong chance that he will die in prison before his release day in 2039.

The plea deal was also amended to include restitution for potential victims of Rocha’s spying activities.

The question of his citizenship is still undecided and will likely be decided in a future civil case.

David Newman, a top national security official at the Justice Department, issued a statement saying:

“For most of his life, Mr. Rocha lived a lie.

“While holding various senior positions in the U.S. government, he was secretly acting as the Cuban government’s agent.

“That is a staggering betrayal of the American people.”

While Rocha will likely spend the rest of his life in prison, there are still questions that need to be answered about how a double agent was allowed to spy on the United States for Cuba for nearly half a century.

Rocha first joined the State Department in 1981.

He bounced around a handful of different positions for the next two decades

Rocha became an ambassador thanks to Bill Clinton.

However, the situation raises questions about how many other individuals with other loyalties have climbed the ranks.

The FBI began its investigation of Rocha in 2022.

When he met with an undercover agent, Rocha reportedly referred to the U.S. as “the enemy.”

Rocha also reportedly told the agent that “What has been done, has strengthened the Revolution.

“It has strengthened it immensely.”

In light of that, 15 years in prison seems criminally soft.

Many argue that capital punishment for such a betrayal would be more appropriate.
