Entry Requirements
The job of an FBI Special Agent is exacting, demanding, and challenging, yet also highly rewarding. Because of the specialized nature of FBI Special Agent jobs, the FBI has very strict entry requirements in place. To qualify for a position as an FBI Special Agent:
Candidates must be at least 23 years old, but younger than 37 at the time of appointment. Veterans, however, may be granted an age waiver if they are older than 37.
Candidates must be a United States citizen or a citizen of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Candidates must hold a four-year degree from a college or university accredited by one of the institutional associations recognized by the United States Secretary of Education.
Candidates must possess a valid, U.S. driver’s license. Candidates must have completed at least three years of professional work experience.

Can a non-US citizen even work for the FBI?
By verified and legitimate I will assume that you mean those outlets that hastily rush to publish any salacious or scandalous detail of Donald J. Trump without verification? Ok...seems legit.

True Pundit makes # up. I'd don't even have to open this to know they'll claim some anonymous source that can't be verified and no legitimate outlet will ever confirm. We're not talking spin, bias, opinion, etc but straight fabrication.
Perhaps a member of Congress can investigate. Who else can we call?
The FBI?
This story is developing.
Here's the rub about that... these search sites (all of them I have seen) mix people up regularly. The purpose of the info page is not to disseminate correct information, but to disseminate enough information to sell more information.
It is conceivable that there is a Marilou Danley who did work for the FBI, or even a Marilou Danley who once lied on an application and said she worked for the FBI. It might be the same Marilou Danley we're talking about here, or someone else with the same name. We don't know.
However, I point out one thing that to me is the most troubling part of all this.

Hey. Here's something you can try. Instead of being such a weiner, try for once to look into a story and verify its validity. You know. Think from an angle besides the one you employ from your little safe space. Here. I'll start. I'll start by searching other sources. After all, truth is stranger than fiction.
Hey, here's something you can try — don't talk about me like you know me or know of me when you obviously don't — because if you did, you'd know that of all my faults (and I have my share), none of them are not doing my research or talking from a "little safe space."
I've "looked into" True Pundit stories for the better part of two years since they appeared out of nowhere pushing viral fabrication after fabrication.
Knock yourself out though.

Well, I agree about True Pundit... but I took a looksee anyway. Then I went to Intelius myself and did find the page showing her as employed with the FBI, but no dates or anything more specific: Intelius -- Mary Lou Danley
I don't know anything about Intelius, but I know many of these sites have erroneous information.... So I'm not buying it. At least not yet. I could believe it... but I need more than this.

Just because a person claims a previous employer doesn't mean it is true. People lie on applications a lot.
