A US Democratic leader's staffer found snooping on behalf of the Chinese embassy has been fired after an investigation was carried into the matter.

Reportedly, the aide named Barbara Hamlett worked as a scheduler for Democratic Rep. Don Beyer of Virginia, said an ANI report.

According to the investigation report, during her employment Hamlett used the position to contact the congressional staff through phone calls, emails, and office visits and invited them to meetings on behalf of officials of the Chinese embassy.

The purpose of the meetings was to extract information from the influential leaders to be used for Chinese interests. ....

=====================================

Fienstien's driver for over 10 years was a Chinese spy. Swalwell's Chinese lover was a spy. (He should have known something was up she is much to hot for him) The Big Guy Joe Biden's crime family is taking money from the Chinese for access to Joe. And now Don Beyer's staffer is a spy. Sure seems like the Chinese think they can easily influence Democrats.
 
Good they got him


Want me to bump the thread about the child sex and murder site used by Republican aids and donors where they merrily chatted about raping and killing babies?

All I wanted from him was to find a good, authentic recipe for hon sue yoke. One as good as Kowloon's.

They make a big deal out of everything today.

What the fuck else would one need to steal from the Chinese?

What was a Chinese woman doing at Mar-a-Lago with her pockets full of passports and cellphones? The March 30 arrest of Chinese national Yujing Zhang at President Donald Trump’s vacation home certainly reads like a juicy spy drama. At the time she was arrested, after changing her story about why she was there, she had on her, in addition to two Chinese passports and four cellphones, a laptop and USB drive later found to contain some kind of malware. More devices and $8,000 in cash were later found in her room at a nearby hotel.

Is Chinese intelligence attempting to infiltrate Mar-a-Lago? The answer to that is almost certainly yes. And so is every other foreign intelligence service. That’s just business as usual.

She worked as an assistant for Aleksandr Torshin, a former member of the Federation Council, a member of Vladimir Putin's United Russia party, and a deputy governor of the Central Bank of Russia.[4] In this role, she worked to infiltrate conservative groups in the US, including the National Rifle Association, as part of an effort to promote Russian interests in the 2016 United States presidential election.[4][5][6] The Senate Intelligence Committee later concluded that she attempted to persuade the Trump campaign to establish a secret communications back channel with Russia.[7]
 
National Rifle Association
Edit
As part of her work as a foreign agent, Butina worked to infiltrate the National Rifle Association on behalf of Russia.[5][35][36]

Torshin and Butina established a cooperative relationship between the NRA and Right to Bear Arms. Torshin has attended NRA annual meetings in the United States since at least 2011. Following the 2011 meeting, then NRA President David Keene expressed his support for Torshin's "endeavors" and extended an invitation to the 2012 meeting.[37] Torshin also attended NRA annual meetings in 2012 and 2013.[38] In November 2013, Keene was a guest at the conference of the Right to Bear Arms in Moscow.[23]


Butina in 2014
Butina and Torshin attended the 2014 NRA annual meeting as special guests of former NRA president Keene.[28][39] Butina attended the Women's Leadership Luncheon at the 2014 meeting as a guest of former NRA president Sandy Froman.[29][39] Butina presented to then NRA president Jim Porter a plaque from Right to Bear Arms. Afterwards, she tweeted "Mission accomplished". As Keene's guest, Butina rang the NRA's Liberty Bell, saying, "To the right to bear arms for citizens of the whole world."[23] Butina and Torshin also attended the 2015 NRA annual convention.[40]

In 2015, a number of NRA officials attended Right to Bear Arms's annual gun conference in Russia. Among them were Keene, gun manufacturer and NRA first vice president Pete Brownell,[41] conservative American political operative Paul Erickson, and Milwaukee County sheriff David Clarke. One of their hosts was Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, who in 2014 was sanctioned by the White House following Russia's annexation of Crimea. Clarke's trip cost $40,000, with all expenses paid by the NRA, Pete Brownell (an NRA board member and CEO of a gun-parts supply company) and Right to Bear Arms.[29][42][43] According to a disclosure Clarke filed, Right to Bear Arms paid $6,000 to cover his meals, lodging, transportation and other expenses.[22] During the meeting, Clarke met the Russian foreign minister and attended a conference at which Torshin spoke.[29][43] In November 2016, Torshin tweeted that he and Butina were lifetime NRA members.[38][44]

Republican Party
Edit
Butina has attempted to develop ties to conservative American politics. In a supporting affidavit to the government's support for pre-trial detention following her indictment in United States of America v. Maria Butina, the FBI stated that she had successfully sought ties to the Republican Party, where it is referred to as "POLITICAL PARTY 1".[3] According to The Daily Beast, she has presented herself as a "Russian central bank staffer, a leading gun rights advocate, a 'representative of the Russian Federation,' a Washington, D.C. graduate student, a journalist, and a connection between Team Trump and Russia" in order to gain access to "high-level contacts" in Washington.[28] At the 2014 NRA annual meeting, Butina took pictures with Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal and former U.S. Senator and 2016 presidential candidate Rick Santorum. At the 2015 NRA annual meeting, she met Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, and in July 2015, she was present at the launch of Walker's 2016 presidential campaign.[23][38]

Good deal. We (D)s don't keep around spies, predators, and other foul creatures like some of the (R)s do.

Hmm, and weren't many of our top secret documents *also* at Mar-A-Lago at the same time as Ms. Yujing?
