Ex-FBI agent sues feds for discrimination
Rita Chiang, 53, enjoyed a 21-year-career with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but fell under suspicion of spying for the Chinese. On Jan 12, 2002, the feds took her badge and gun and kicked her out of the West LA office at the Federal Building on Wilshire Blvd. Accused of being a mole for Chinese intelligence, she failed a polygraph test but was cleared when her supervisor was accused of leaking the info, instead.
Though she later returned to work, Chiang said the incident ruined her career. According to a story that crossed the wire today, she now believes she was the victim of discrimination.
