Another Chinese Spy Uncovered in US Government

Another CIA officer has been charged of aiding China to spy on the US government, leaking classified intelligence that damaged national security. The Free Beacon reports:

Former CIA operations officer Jerry Chun Shing Lee pleaded guilty on Wednesday to conspiracy to commit espionage for China in a case linked to the loss of numerous recruited CIA spies in China.

Lee, 54, a naturalized U.S. citizen living in Hong Kong, supplied documents and information to Chinese intelligence officers from April 26, 2010, to Jan. 15, 2018 when he was arrested, according to court papers in the case.

The former spy handler initially had pleaded not guilty. The plea deal avoids what was expected to be a lengthy trial that may have risked further exposing CIA secrets Lee supplied to China.

Lee faces a maximum sentence of life in prison for the charge. Sentencing in the case was set for Aug. 23.

How compromised is the CIA to foreign intelligence actors, especially Communist China? Should naturalized citizens from hostile countries be given access to highly classified information?

Agree 100%. You don’t think the Chinese didn’t execute those he betrayed. Death penalty. But honestly does anyone actually think that is going to happen? There are so many traitors in both parties who quite probably are selling the country out. There is no way a Congressman or Senator can live in a 12,000,000 plus house like crazy Maxine, without some deep corruption. I feel that she and others should be investigated by the FBI. Remember Feinstein had a PRC aide who was also a spy, and it is swept under the rug. Where is the outrage, the fury to get to the bottom of the corruption and treason from the mass media? Oh that’s right they are culpable also.

Roger and Tony both got it right. Yes, it takes a long time to execute a spy, but he has it to look forward to. I think that’s better than looking forward to “Blue Bloods” every Friday. (For a spy, I mean)

As soon as it is confirmed that this man became a traitor and spied on the U. S., he should be put to death!

I remember in the 1940’s and 1950’s this country was still executing those who were caught spying for our enemies. Why has this country grown so soft on espionage? And, no, naturalized citizens should never be allowed to serve in any capacity in government, and that includes Congress.
