May this story escaped my notice before, but today William Barr being questioned by Lindsay Graham, said Diane Feinstein was told she had a Chinese government representative on her staff and she fired him when she got the warning. This is not the usual discussion of the Budget Committee but it was entertaining. It left us wanting to know more about this incident.
The Washington Post did report it this way:
"Imagine if it emerged that the Republican chairman of the House or Senate intelligence committee had a Russian spy working on their staff. Think it would cause a political firestorm? Well, this month we learn that Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) had a Chinese spy on her staff who worked for her for about 20 years, was listed as an “office director” on payroll records and served as her driver when she was in San Francisco, all while reporting to China’s Ministry of State Security through China’s San Francisco Consulate. The reaction of the mainstream media? Barely a peep...."
I have to agree that it was not widely reported. This guy was well placed in this Intelligence Committee leader's office in California and chauffeured her around. Not a good thing to have the ranking member being driven around by a spy. How do they keep this kind of thing quiet?
