Massachusetts: Muslim illegally retains classified national defense information regarding U.S. military programs

Dec 16, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Serageldin had a secret-level security clearance in order to complete his assignments on several defense contracts for the U.S. government involving military radar technology.”

No one would have dreamed of questioning whether he should really have this security clearance. That would have been “Islamophobic.”

“Massachusetts Man Pleads Guilty to Illegally Retaining Classified National Defense Information Regarding U.S. Military Programs,” Department of Justice, December 13, 2019 (thanks to the Geller Report):

A Sharon, Massachusetts, man pleaded guilty today to willfully retaining national defense information.

Ahmedelhadi Yassin Serageldin, 66, an Egyptian-born nationalized U.S. citizen, admitted to removing classified national defense information from his workplace at a defense contractor without authorization and keeping it unsecured within his home. Serageldin was originally indicted and arrested in November 2018 on one count of misleading conduct with intent to hinder, delay, or prevent communications to a law enforcement officer relating to the commission or possible commission of a federal offense.

The original indictment alleged that Serageldin was a systems engineer at Raytheon Company in Massachusetts from August 1997 until he was terminated in May 2017. Serageldin had a secret-level security clearance in order to complete his assignments on several defense contracts for the U.S. government involving military radar technology.

According to court documents, in 2017, Raytheon investigated Serageldin for time-card fraud. The time-card fraud investigation allegedly led Raytheon to uncover evidence that Serageldin had downloaded a substantial number of files from Raytheon’s computer network and had connected removable electronic storage devices to the network in violation of Raytheon’s security policy. During the company’s internal investigation, the indictment alleges, Serageldin engaged in misleading conduct to hinder, delay, or prevent Raytheon employees from communicating with law enforcement about his time-card fraud and his potential mishandling and retention of classified information and national defense information.

Today, Serageldin pleaded guilty before Chief United States District Judge Patti B. Saris to a Superseding Information charging him with having unauthorized possession of, access to, and control over numerous classified documents, writings, and notes relating to the national defense, and then willfully retaining the same and failing to deliver them to the United States. At the plea hearing, the prosecutor noted that while executing a search warrant at Serageldin’s house, federal agents found thousands of paper documents and electronic files belonging to Raytheon or the U.S. Department of Defense, and that many of them were marked as containing classified information. The Superseding Information lists five specific documents, all of which pertain to U.S. military programs involving missile defense and are classified at the SECRET level.

According to a plea agreement filed in the case, the original charge of obstruction of justice will be dismissed at the time of sentencing. Sentencing is scheduled for April 14, 2020….

      I *wish*, Flavius–probably not, though. Remember all the Muslims and Leftists who said they were going to leave the US en mass when Trump was first elected? Still waiting for that to happen…

    Hillary had a TOP SECRET clearance, and she “illegally retained” TOP SECRET emails on her home email server. When will she be put on trial for this crime?

    This treasonous man , Seregeldin, is the enemy within! Hopefully he’s convicted of treason, and gets the
    death penalty! Lest we forget the Muslims responsible for 9/11! And the numerous other Muslim terror attacks across our country from Florida to California, most recently Penesocola naval base!
    It’s a necessity safeguard Muslim Immigration is being limited ! We must protect American sovereignty!
    Trump,2020. Our only hope 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    Muslim: “Hello! I am a proud member of the global crime-and-murder cult that wants to extort, enslave, and murder you! Can I please have access to your most closely-guarded military secrets?”

    Liberal in charge: “I don’t see why not; denying you would be racist! Here you go, enjoy them!”
