Victor Manuel Rocha has held a lot of offices in the United States government, including being a U.S. Department of State employee, serving on the U.S. Security Council, serving as the Ambassador to Bolivia, and advising the Commander of the U.S. Southern Command, a joint command of the United States military to name a few.

His career spanned 40 years.

And that whole time, the man was allegedly a Cuban spy.

I say "allegedly," but the evidence sounds pretty damning, and it wasn't the dancing and cigars that gave him away.

Rocha described his decades of spy craft to an undercover FBI agent posing as Rocha's new Cuban handler.

Throughout the meetings, Rocha behaved as a Cuban agent, consistently referring to the United States as "the enemy," and using the term "we" to describe himself and Cuba. Rocha additionally praised Fidel Castro as the "Comandante," and referred to his contacts in Cuban intelligence as his "Compañeros" (comrades) and to the Cuban intelligence services as the "Dirección." Rocha described his work as a Cuban agent as "a grand slam."

Rocha is charged with conspiring to act as an agent of a foreign government without prior notification to the Attorney General; acting as an agent of a foreign government without prior notification to the Attorney General; and with using a passport obtained by false statement.

Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said,

"This action exposes one of the highest-reaching and longest-lasting infiltrations of the United States government by a foreign agent."

I know it's hard to imagine Merrick Garland prosecuting an actual authoritarian communist instead of striving to be one, but here we are.
