    Feinstein had a Chinese spy connection she didn’t know about — her driver
    By Kathleen Pender
    3-4 minutes

    A staffer in U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s San Francisco office was fired a few years back after being linked to Chinese spying in the Bay Area.

    According to a Politico Magazine story on Silicon Valley espionage, the Feinstein staffer was suspected of providing political intelligence — but nothing classified — to his handlers, with one former intelligence official telling author Zach Dorfman that the suspected informant was “run” by officials based at the local Chinese Consulate.

    A local source who knew about the incident confirmed to us that the FBI showed up at Feinstein’s office in Washington, D.C., about five years ago to alert the then-chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee that her driver was being investigated for possible Chinese spying.

    “Dianne was mortified,” said our source, who spoke to us only on condition he not be named.

    Besides driving her around when she was in California, the staffer also served as gofer in her San Francisco office and as a liaison to the Asian American community, even attending Chinese Consulate functions for the senator.

    According to our source, the intrigue started years earlier when the staffer took a trip to Asia to visit relatives and was befriended by someone who continued to stay in touch with him on subsequent visits.

    That someone was connected with the People’s Republic of China’s Ministry of State Security.

    “He didn’t even know what was happening — that he was being recruited,” says our source. “He just thought it was some friend.”

    The FBI apparently concluded the driver hadn’t revealed anything of substance.

    “They interviewed him, and Dianne forced him to retire, and that was the end of it,” says our source.

    “None of her staff ever knew what was going on,” the source added. “They just kept it quiet.”

    MEMO to whomever leaked this story: Thanks for holding it untl after the primary waiting until there were only two lame candidates on the ballot. I think I'm having 2016 DNC e mail flashbacks. Was this another WikiLeaks fuckup?

    This country is full of Chinese spys. Everyone is worried about Russia but yet say nothing about the Chinese. Funny. The Feinstein story is getting greater coverage than when Pakistani spys were doing IT work inside the US Congress. Probably the country who spies on the US the most is Isreal. They literally need us to survive. So they watch us very closely. Isreal knows more about our government than we know about theirs.
