Wilkinson. On the face i emphasize. What else can be said for a man who combined his carrier of United States army his career of United States army with agent 13 in the spanish secret service. 11 years he commended the nations forces. He patrolled its frontiers. For most of that time he also fed americas military secrets to the largest power in the hemisphere. If spain had acted more vigorously on the warnings he passed on they would have captured the lewis and Clark Expedition and put a halt to westward exploration.

The illeague part is if theres a blatant exchange of money for political favors, and johnson says proving that can be tricky because prosecutors have to get inside yees head and prove his intent. Even in the fbis own affidavits they say there were numerous protests by senator yee that this is not play for pay. Im not exchanging money for a promise to do an act. Reporter johnson says yees attorney will also likely argue that the fbi entrapped yee by setting up such an elaborate sting that had made up crimes that in the end never took place and the case will also depend on how much video and audio evidence there is, and he assumes there is such evidence.
