"Those charged with protecting the nation have a special responsibility to maintain their oath of loyalty to the United States," said Kenneth L. Wainstein, Assistant Attorney General for National Security, in a statement. "As a former U.S. Marine and FBI analyst, Aragoncillo betrayed that oath, violated our espionage laws, and now must suffer the consequences of his actions."
