A former CIA officer was indicted Tuesday on charges that he planned to give confidential U.S. government documents to the Chinese government, according to U.S. Department of Justice.
Jerry Chun Shing Lee, 53, of Hong Kong, was indicted by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia. He is charged with one count of conspiracy to cater or deliver national defense information to aid a foreign government and two counts of unlawfully retaining documents related to the national defense.
Mr. Lee, who is naturalized U.S. citizen, was found to be in possession of two notebooks containing the true names and phone of undercover CIA assets and the addresses of covert facilities, the Justice Department said. A 2012 search of hotels in Hawaii and Virginia where Mr. Lee stayed revealed that he had possessed the notebooks, court records disclosed.
During an interview with the FBI, Mr. Lee admitted that he was preparing the notebooks to give to Chinese intelligence officers.

Absolutely. The only way to stem the tide on this crap is strong consequences. Hanging or a bullet.

I’m confused, they knew this in 2012???
Someone please tell me why we keep giving security clearances to anyone from China, and why we keep letting Chinese come here? How quickly can this guy be convicted and publicly executed?
If I recall this has been in the works for some time and evidently he’s finally been charged.
But ... but ... everybody does that.
Yes, I posted an article in January of his arrest at JFK airport on his return to this country.

In the Chinese culture it’s considered ok to break any rule as long as you can get away with it. A Chinese friend told me. Almost Gypsy like.
“I’m confused, they knew this in 2012???”
Who was POTUS, and who were the Directors of the CIA in 2012 and then in 2013?
Support Free Republic, Folks!
Why would any non-native American have access to confidential information?
We see it again and again with the Chinese.
My preference would be old sparky operating intermittently at half power...
Wow!! no one thought this would happen? I guess he was less than rebel like General Lee and more like General Two.
But maybe he did not “intend” to give China classified material. The Hilary defense.
The Chinese are a far greater threat to American national security than the Russians will ever be.
