Marc A. Thiessen, Mercury News/Washington Post: Thiessen: Sen. Dianne Feinstein had a Chinese spy on her staff for 20 years

He was Feinstein’s driver in SF when she led the intelligence committee; he reported to China’s Ministry of State Security.

WASHINGTON — Imagine if it emerged that the Republican chairman of the House or Senate intelligence committee had a Russian spy working on their senate staff. Think it would cause a political firestorm? Well, this week we learned that Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., had a Chinese spy on her staff who worked for her for 20 years, who 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.

WNU Editor: It makes you wonder if all of this non-stop Russian-spying hoopla in Washington and in the media is just a distraction from the real story which is Chinese spying and influence in Washington.

As we all know, San Francisco and the wider Silicon Valley area - where much of the tech, innovation and subsequently Chinese spying is happening - is heavily democratic leaning. The amount of spying there will be even higher than in Washington. Any journalist that wants to make himself a name in this and for the next decade, should move there and spend time in the valley and investigate this. There will be bombshells left and right.

I have nothing against Dianne Feinstein because I'm sure she didn't do that on purpose. The real problem is on our counter-spying agency... which is FBI! I'm sure there are many good guy in FBI, but that's not enough to be "good", efficiency is FIRST!
Sorry, but we have to make a strong cleaning in this Agency which is more bureaucracy than truly FBI.

jac, it sure had some skunks in it during the reign of the community organizer. I'm not sure there have been suitable personnel changes, either.

I believe that spy was tossed from his job a number of years ago and not this week, or months, or even year...But how many known Russian spies have worked around the Trump campaign?

Perhaps the paper, one hardly mainstream, is, like so many commenting here, trying with might to badmouth Democrats and then ignoring or dismissing ongoing investigation into Russian connections, for which, recently some dozen spies indicted?
