Bizarre! Female FBI officer marries ISIS terrorist she investigated
Daniela Greene, a female FBI translator with a top-secret security clearance surprisingly married an ISIS terrorist she was assigned to investigate in 2014 according to a report by CNN.
According to federal court records, Green lied to the FBI about where she was headed to in 2014 and even warned her new better half that he was under investigation.
Greene’s saga, which has never been publicized, exposes an embarrassing breach of national security at the FBI—an agency that has made its mission rooting out ISIS sympathizers across the country.

The FBI, in a statement to CNN, said as a result of Greene’s case it “took several steps in a variety of areas to identify and reduce security vulnerabilities. The FBI continues to strengthen protective measures in carrying out its vital work.”
The FBI did not identify what steps were taken and declined further comment.
“It’s a stunning embarrassment for the FBI, no doubt about it,” said John Kirby, a former State Department official. He said he suspects Greene’s entry into Syria required the approval of top ISIS leaders.
