Fed Background Investigator Busted In Sex Sting … from Crooks & Liars Chris capper Liebenthal

Bloomington, Minnesota, Police Chief Booker Hodges was discussing the results of a sex sting operation his department conducted, and one of the people they caught was more noteworthy than average:

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration… and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.
