FBI surveillance video made public Sunday reveals details of a Chinese espionage operation to obtain secrets from the Pentagon through a group of Americans who spied for China.

There are several interesting western surnames in the case. They didn’t get much time, either. Apparently, privileges come with privilege. It helps those of us born before ‘45 and after ‘54 to understand the origins of tiny bits of these 30+ years of downplaying and complacency.
Just open the frakin doors to the inventory and let the Chicom take what they want...I mean they doing it already..../s
