Will Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein Investigate Herself?

Will Democrat Sen. Feinstein Investigate Herself? Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein, former Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, was penetrated by the Communist Chinese for some twenty years and hid the penetration from her staff and the public. While Democrats take to cable TV daily to spin fantasies of “collusion” between President Trump and the Russians, another Democratic politician has been enmeshed in an espionage scandal and cover up. Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein, former Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, was penetrated by the Communist Chinese for some twenty years and hid the penetration from her staff and the public. The details about the Feinstein staffer were first revealed in a Politico report last week about the West Coast becoming a growing target for foreign intelligence agencies. The San Francisco Chronicle followed up, reporting that the FBI alerted the senator five years ago that her driver was being investigated for possible spying on behalf of the Chinese. The staffer also ran errands and served as a liaison to the Asian American community, the report said. But CBS channel 5 KPIX San Francisco has a deeper dive. A Short History of Dianne Feinstein’s Love for China For the last 40 years, no politician in America has arguably maintained a deeper, more longstanding and friendlier relationship with China, at the highest levels of its ruling Communist Party, than Feinstein. It dates back to the opening of U.S.-Chinese diplomatic relations in 1979. Feinstein — who was Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee at the time — was reportedly mortified when the FBI told her she’d be infiltrated. Investigators reportedly concluded the driver hadn’t leaked anything of substance and Feinstein forced him to retire. Former FBI agent and KPIX 5 security analyst Jeff Harp said he was not surprised. “Think about Diane Feinstein and what she had access to,” said Harp. “One, she had access to the Chinese community here in San Francisco; great amount of political influence. Two, correct me if I’m wrong, Dianne Feinstein still has very close ties to the intelligence committees there in Washington, D.C.” Harp ran counter espionage for the FBI in the Bay Area. He said in addition to traditional political intel and diplomatic secrets, Bay Area spies are often focused on things like R&D, technology and trade secrets. “They also have an interest in the economy here. How to get political influence here,” said Harp. “What’s being developed in Silicon Valley that has dual-use technology. All of that is tied to the Bay Area.” And he says, like in many areas, when it comes to counter intelligence and espionage, the Bay Area is a trend setter. “As the Bay Area goes, so does the nation when it comes to technology,” said Harp. “So why not when it comes to spying?” It took a tweet from President Trump implying hypocrisy, given Feinstein’s role investigating “Russian collusion” as a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, while a Chinese spy had infiltrated her own office, to force the senator to address the issue. Harp pointed out politicians with access to classified information are generally trained on what not to say and when not to say it. But he also noted when you have a driver behind the wheel day in and day out for 20 years, there are more opportunities to slip up. So, just to make this clear. Senator Feinstein’s office is compromised for 20 years. The spy is not charged or locked-up or sweated in Gitmo. Instead he’s allowed to retire on a federal pension. [CONTINUED] and [MORE HERE] SPIT
