What did he plan to do with this material?
No one would have dreamed of questioning whether Ahmedelhadi Yassin Serageldin should really have the security clearance that allowed him access to these documents in the first place. That would have been “Islamophobic.”
“Engineer gets prison for illegally keeping defense secrets,” Associated Press, July 23, 2020 (thanks to Creeping Sharia):
BOSTON (AP) — A Massachusetts man has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for keeping work-related classified national defense documents at his home without proper authorization, federal prosecutors say.
Ahmedelhadi Yassin Serageldin, 67, an Egyptian-born U.S. citizen, was also sentenced Wednesday to one year of probation and was fined $10,000, according to the U.S. attorney’s office in Boston. He had pleaded guilty in December.
The Sharon man retained 31,000 pages of information that was marked as classified, some of which pertained to U.S. missile defense and was classified “secret”, and altered or obliterated the classification markings on documents, according to prosecutors.
Serageldin was a systems engineer at Raytheon from August 1997 until he was fired in May 2017. He had security clearance in order to complete assignments on several defense contracts involving radar technology, prosecutors said….

American policies are way to lax and our politicians know this but won’t do anything about it. A good example is Omar Congress woman from Minnesota. She has several felonies hanging over her head. But no one will take her to court as they don’t want to be a name like racist, bigot or whatever. It’s sickening to politicians coward to things like this!
Spiro says
That’s all sadly true and may I add
18 months that’s all !!!!!!
The Political Oracle says
Yes, the federal judge didn’t want to be labeled as a racist islamophobe. So, he sold out America’s justice system to save his face. Besides, he’s probably a leftist terrorist sympathizer along with everyone else that allowed this goon into our secure facilities! Our Nation’s security is done!

If this peaceful guy actually goes into the slammer, we will give him conjugial visits with his goats .

This feature article is beyond disturbing.
Ahmedelhadi Yassin Serageldin, an Egyptian-born US citizen, worked for Raytheon for 20 years as a systems engineer.
According to Pew Research Center, Egypt is 90-95% muslim, so it is highly likely that this systems engineer was a muslim.
Serageldin retained 31,000 pages of classified information in his personal home, some marked as secret – dealing with US missile defense. If this were printed out, it would take 62 reams of paper.
This is not an ordinary criminal, this is an enemy combatant who was a clear and present danger to the United States of America.
He should be dealt with as such.

Took law enforcement 20 years! This was only because of time card fraud! Edward Snowden has nothing on this man! Is this a ploy to get Snowden to come back and face a judge? Maybe this same judge! Maybe Snowden will get only 18 days for his crime!
Keith O says
PO,
Gotta disagree with you.
The big difference here is that Snowden did what he did out of a perceived “higher good”. His intentions were not to harm the US but to bring about change. He saw things that were happening and it genuinely frightened him.
This turd however was acting with the pure intent of causing harm to the US and perhaps make some money along the way by selling some of the secrets he had.
Snowden at least never tried to profit from what he did!

How much time did the guy at Raytheon receive for being a stupid, useful infidel by even hiring a Muslim and assuming all would end well?
Michael Casmer says
So let me get this straight. They hired a traitor and he betrayed the Us. I’m a native born American, veteran with a college degree and I can’t get a job with the gov’t. Why? Hmmmm. I would never betray OUr Beautiful country.
James Lincoln says
Michael Casmer,
Keep trying…
I am retired Civil Service GS-14 – as well as a retired Navy Captain.
My advice:
Really get to know your way around the USA Jobs website – and apply for any and all things where you meet the knowledge, skills, and abilities (K.S.A.) of the particular job. Don’t be too picky about a particular job, the key is to get your foot in the door. Lots of opportunities once you get in.
Get to know the people in human resources – they can be a big help.
And veterans preference should help.
Best of luck to you!

In Minnesota we have diversity. That means they don’t hire whites… MinLars full of muslims was to replace a mainframe for car licenses. A $$billion later they churned out garbage.Suitcases of cash going to El shabab, from fake daycare centers, and the dems don’t believe it.. Now Lake st was given 4 days to burn…. Gov and Mayor approved. The city council has antifa, cross dressers, and other sickos deciding to eliminate the cops, All are traitors!
Bob says
Another gift from the (leftist) state of Massachusetts. 18 months for what this mud-slime did is a joke; except that no one is laughing. Who’s kidding who? With “good behavior” he’ll be out in only 9 months to resume his murderous plans. Wake up America – we’re at war here! We need to start increasing terror-related sentences and deporting these people… citizen or not!

Massachusetts: Muslim migrant gets 18 months for keeping classified documents pertaining to US missile defense
………………….
Will he be deported after serving his paltry sentence? Don’t hold your breath.
OLD GUY says
Looks like the background investigation into this traitor failed. 18 month for being a traitor seems a little soft, I guess they didn’t want to offend or scare other muslim’s that are doing the some thing. Its. amazing how soft our legal system and judges have become. Not to worry though, when islam takes control this type of crime will be punishable by instant death, no appeals.
