I think a useful line of inquiry is to get as much documentation of Carolyn's activities and legal problems in Virgina as we can. I lived in Northern Virginia for 11 years, and I know that the place is crawling with Pentagon types (Alexandria, Virginia) and spooks (the CIA is in McLean, Virginia). Local prosecutors drop cases quietly when the phone rings and it's the CIA on the other end. That's the way the world works in Northern Virginia. If you know something that's classified, the "checkered-history" characters that are thick as thieves in that area refer to such knowledge as a "get out of jail free" card.

It occurs to me that Carolyn was either incredibly careless in her efforts to evade local Virginia authorities, or over-confident that she was protected. Did she run out of "get out of jail free" cards when she split to Florida? Why did she take the risk of traveling to a WMF meeting in Europe? Wasn't she worried about U.S. Customs and their computers? How dumb do you have to be?

If there's a pattern of amazing leniency for her legal transgressions in Virginia, together with spooky connections in addition to those we already know about, then this would be very interesting. It would also raise further questions about her incredible rise from temp to COO at the Foundation. Carolyn may have been "sent" to work in the Office.

Pretty dumb. But most dumb people don't know they are dumb, and a dumb person wouldn't know there was a database with people who have parole restrictions in place. A dumb person wouldn't imagine that she would get caught.

I knew a woman who avoided arrest by entering the U.S. via Canada. She got caught when she got sick of hiding. I didn't know this about her arrest record, and was really surprised to learn she was in jail (serious lady). She was a smart woman, and very well educated. But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that you are on a database, and can (and will) be caught. Maybe Carolyn wasn't one of the sharper knives.

Oh come on. You think they'd send someone with her background to be their "agency asset?". Out of all the people in the world, they would pick someone with a felony history? And that person, being a CIA agent, would be caught at Customs? Their handler wouldnt inform them they should not travel?

It makes no sense.
ok, I read your other edit. You said that this is common. I guess you have perspective I don't.
