That would be *allegedly* steals, because in the U.S. you're,
in principle, innocent till proven guilty. Furthermore,
I believe he wasn't accused of spying or stealing, but
rather "mishandling" sensitive information. The issue is
volatile enough -- with the added dimension of race --
without the spying accusations.

While the brown ale he quaffed,
Loud then the champion laughed,
And as the wind-gusts waft
The sea-foam brightly,
So the loud laugh of scorn,
Out of those lips unshorn,
From the deep drinking-horn
Blew the foam lightly. --Longfellow
